Oldy but a goody!

A shop that sells new husbands opened in London where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit the New Husband Shop ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the New Husband Shop to find a replacement husband. On the ground floor the sign on the door reads:
Ground Floor - These Men Have Jobs.
She is intrigued, but continues to the first floor, where the sign reads:
First Floor - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
'That's nice', she thinks, 'but I want more.'

So she continues upward. The second floor sign reads:
Second Floor - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the third floor and the sign reads:
Third Floor - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'

Still, she goes to the forth floor and the sign reads:
Forth Floor - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the fifth floor, where the sign reads:
Fifth Floor - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the New Husband Shop.

PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the shop's owner opened a New Wives Shop just across the street.

On the ground floor the sign on the door reads:
Ground Floor - these wives love sex.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
First Floor - these wives love sex and have big boobs.
Nobody has ever visited the second, third, fourth or fifth floors.
