and even in online dating platforms with an even sex ratio, like OkCupid one finds women receive around 8 times as many messages.

If men provide for woman, they want more than just sex in return. They also want certainty that the offspring is theirs which is a problem that women do not face.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12496732</ref> From the point of view of the genes, raising another man's child is equivalent to losing a child before it could reproduce. | If men provide for woman, they want more than just sex in return.

Women have been dependent on men's resources throughout history, for example, in historical societies women were much more involved in cooking than in resource extraction.<ref>https://doi.org/10.2307/3773347</ref> One can thus model the sexual market as one in which men can sell the resources and women can sell exclusive access to sex.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016748701630277X</ref><ref>https://d-nb.info/997448148/34</ref> This means, welfare and affirmative action for women, as well as decreasing economic growth and increasing economic inequality, tend to reduce the [[sexual market value]] of lots of men because provision of resources are men's main goods. Women's sexual market value is, on the other hand, rather determined by their looks and reputation manipulation.<ref></ref> | Women have been dependent on men's resources throughout history, for example, in historical societies women were much more involved in cooking than in resource extraction.<ref>https://doi.org/10.2307/3773347</ref> One can thus model the sexual market as one in which men can sell the resources and women can sell exclusive access to sex.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016748701630277X</ref><ref>https://d-nb.info/997448148/34</ref> This means, welfare and affirmative action for women, as well as decreasing economic growth and increasing economic inequality, tend to reduce the [[sexual market value]] of lots of men because provision of resources are men's main goods.

There is evidence that hypergamy has intensified in the recent years.
