I've had this discussion on reddit far too many times with too many incredulous responses to what is plainly obvious if you're willing to see it: http://www.psy.cmu.edu/~rakison/bussandschmitt.pdf

Yes, women seek men with status and financial security. I'd give you a pointer to a specific line or paragraph, but its all relevant.

Men seek out highly attractive women using different criteria, but that doesn't mean they're successful.

There's a difference between wanting something and demanding it.

I'm not sure what your point is.

Maybe I'd like to work for a company that gives me a yacht, but I'm not going to demand a yacht as terms of employment.

You'll have a much better shot at getting it if you explicitly make it part of your negotiation process, since most companies won't think to include it on their own.

All the boring but stable and decently successful men that get laid like crazy.. oh, wait..

We're not talking about getting laid, we're talking about getting married. Fact is, married people get way more sex than single people.
