    Why would heterosexual one night stands exist if they weren't?

    Yes, I guess men are prob more determined and ambitious than women in general as women often require men who are financially well off, which is why men often don't go into things like nursing, also there is a stigma for men in this kind of work as it is seen as 'feminine' this kind of work, but perhaps women are more caring as a gender, not always though.

    What I was saying I guess is that there are more men to pick from who are wealthy etc. than women. Obv good looking men are in demand by women as well but there's a smaller pool of women who have all the 'desirable attributes' like wealth etc. if that makes sense?
    I don't think wealth is one of the most important factors for me. In fact I don't care how much men earn. I understand there are certain shallow women who will marry an old man due to his wealth but I would hardly call wealth one of the 'desirable attributes' more like a perk.

    Before disregarding the title and posting "yes of course they do", think about it; in nature, it's always the males competing with eachother to get the female, who seems passive to whoever proves themselves the most.

    It seems that humans are the only animals that don't do that and it could actually be the other way round. Basically I'm asking, is society what makes women subconsciously think they are attracted to men, despite there being no biological proof or reason for it?

    I don't actually think they aren't, this thread was based on a status somebody on my friend's list posted and it got me thinking. What do you think?
    Ill bet this friend having never gotten laid/had a girlfriend is something to do with this conclusion. My girlfriend seems very attracted to me
