I don't even think it's about money; most of these women have jobs and support themselves and such. But, pretty much everyone is conditioned to want someone "better" than them. For straight men this comes off as wanting a conventionally beautiful/hot woman because beauty is one of the few positive social traits that is pretty much completely denied to men, and for women who have traditionally been excluded from high status it comes off as that. Idk if there's similar dynamics in gay dating, I've had gay roommates tell me that there's a lot of pressure to conform to the "type" of gay dude you come off as, but that's anecdotal.
For what it's worth I'd (and I know a lot of other women would too) love it if it were more socially acceptable for men to express their beauty (only if they wanted to though). A lot of guys are convinced that men are 'ugly' and that just isn't true.
I hope one day people can just be themselves and not on some vague traditions of what we're supposed to be

Yeah, I think you're right.
