Ferengi attitudes towards women are unique at best. But they especially have an issue with non-Ferengi woman. Not in a negative way, though. They absolutely love non-Ferengi women, almost obsessing over them constantly. Luwaxana Troi, Jadzia Dax and Kira Nerys have all found themselves as frequent targets of Ferengi men.

In general, Ferengi treat women as possessions and as status symbols. Having a non-Ferengi woman on your arm would be the ultimate status symbol for many Ferengi men, due in no small part to the fact that such women rarely show an interest in relationships with Ferengi.

As such, it's assumed that any Ferengi who has a non-Ferengi must be wealthy and powerful as that's the only way they could have a relationship with one. But that isn't always the case. On Deep Space Nine, a Bajoran Dabo girl named Leeta legitimately fell in love with Quark's brother Rom, though he wasn't exactly a typical Ferengi.
