Was sexual success really always the measure of a man? Didn’t alternative life paths such as priesthood used to offer celibate men high social status?

Tiny proportion of the male population, and often not celibate in practice.

"Maybe the solution is educating people out of following incentives." Good Luck.

Not much success down that road.

Unattractive, middle aged Asian women are not respected in Asia. Thus they identify as feminist rather than Asian to feel self-important and curry favors with flabby, upper middle class, white men.

Who wins? Asian tiger moms vs Asian cat ladies

I'm not sure whether you mean binary (virgin vs non-virgin) or as a continuum (having sex with hot girls vs not as hot girls) but pretty sure that's not true either way. It's pretty important but it's not "the ultimate" measure of status.
-
"Ultimate" is pretty vague, but it's true that this is the "ultimate" measure in an evolutionary sense. And unless we're talking super-rich or super-famous, it does seem like mate access tends to a massive determinant of (male) status. Mate access tends to trump other status 1/2
-
in a way too. E.g. we pity "rich but died alone", or "genius but celibate" in a way that we don't pity "average but died married", and pointing out virginity / celibacy can damage even men highest in other status markers. /end

Top woman is Queen Pretty. Top man gets to do Queen Pretty, plus whomever else he wants. Mankind.

Marc Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos etc all have high status , but they aren’t known for banging hotties.

You have no idea that this is known "instinctually" by men and is not a cultural byproduct. In several primate species, male status has no correlation with so-called reproductive success.

She's not even asking the right question - men don't want women because access to women is a way to get status - they want status for access to women If society breaks down that equation still works. Status in your band of conquerors means you get a cut of the spoils - women

Women believe low-quality men aren't entitled to women, while at the same time believe low-quality women are entitled to high-quality men! Hypergamy in action!pic.twitter.com/t4QYl4Q2UN
