The Troubles of the Rich Man's Woman
It is, of course, terribly wrong to rejoice in the suffering of others.

“It’s that he’s an alpha male, he’s aggressive, he’s a go-getter, he doesn’t take no for an answer, he’s confident, people respect him and that creates the whole mystique of who he is.”
Women love social status like men love hourglass figures. Honestly contribute to society if you want but you won't get any dates if you do so in a needy or unconfident manner.
I don't think it works to make generalizations about an entire gender's desires, but clearly the women interviewed in the story do.
