Often those peoples' needs are to have no-strings-attached-sex with rich, young, beautiful women.

There is a lot more demand than supply in that direction, so scams predominate.

You're straining my credibility with this "rich" bit. I have neither personal, anecdotal nor psychological research evidence to believ wealth comes within an order of magnitude of young or beautiful in its effects on attractiveness.

For those men who are honest with themselves about their desire to have nsa sex wit young beautiful women there's seekingarrangement.com

Curious as to why they have to be rich if the primary goal is no-strings-attached sex? If the assumed hope is that one could mooch off this rich, young, beautiful women a little before engaging in the no-strings-attached sex and taking one's leave, I'd say that would bring supply down to about zero.

Attractive females in the 18-25 bracket are pursued by men in the 18-death age bracket, far more than 18-25 year old men are pursued by women in the 18-death age bracket.

This leads to scarcity, and men use "rich", "high-status", "famous", etc. to differentiate themselves.

Male competition for breeding rights is the bedrock of human civilization (and probably for animals too)

Indeed, but I was referring to the part of the comment that describes the women as needing to be rich (and young and beautiful).
