money and status would make a man more attractive to many women; men who really value a better romantic or sexual life should thus put more priority on money and status

It's funny how discussing attraction in cold hard psychological terms gives rise to debate. I am a man and therefore hard-wired to look at breasts and hips and feet for cues about whether the woman in question is fertile and non-pregnant.

That is not graceful, I don't even really meta-like it (of course I object-like it, I'm hard-wired to do so).

But that does not change the fact that I think of everyone as 'humans' or 'persons' before 'men' and 'women'.

Now, in the same vein, going with sexual cue-theory, women are just as hard-wired to evaluate which men are wealthy/high status and thus better able to support a family.

That does not change the fact that I am neither wealthy nor high-status (but maybe just a bit suave) but still have a female partner in a stable relationship of mutual trust, dependence and love.

Can we stop discussing genetic mental architectures as if they offend us? Because genetic mental architectures sure as hell don't care.
