There is a host of evidence that women are much more choosy maters than men. For example, women receive on average 20 times as many matches as men on Tinder, which suggests men are more promiscuous.<ref>Gareth Tyson, Vasile C. Perta, Hamed Haddadi, Michael C.

and even in online dating platforms with an even sex ratio, like OkCupid one finds women receive around 8 times as many messages. But lots of evidence can also be elsewhere, for example men would much more readily agree to unsolicited invitations to sex and they less likely regret casual sex. There are also very large sex differences in sexual disgust. | and even in online dating platforms with an even sex ratio, like OkCupid one finds women receive around 8 times as many messages.

Namely, a woman tends to not only want a good partner, but one who is better than herself or better than other available partners or her current partner. Men do not care about women's socioeconomic status and achievements, but women care a lot about men's.<ref>ftp://repec.iza.org/RePEc/Discussionpaper/dp11933.pdf</ref><ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_feel_sexual_disgust_when_they_imagine_even_talking_to_an_unattractive_man</ref> | ||

One can regard sexual relationships as a deal and study them with the principles of economics. | |||
Women wan resources from men because women have been dependent on men's resources throughout history.<ref>https://doi.org/10.2307/3773347</ref> | |||
Men want sex and also certainty that the offspring in which they invest their resources is theirs (a problem that women do not face).<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12496732</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, reputation and gossip.<ref>https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jesp.2018.03.011</ref> | |||
The economics in such kind of sexual market are believed to also give rise hypergamy.<ref>https://d-nb.info/997448148/34</ref> | |||
