Yes, Its the same in east asia. That is why I think theres more to looks, when it comes to female to male attraction. It seems, like females get instinctively horny, for a male who has a shit ton more status than her. Its like a mechanism in her brain, which turns on, when she feels she can get something out of the situation.
In other words, ALL females, are prostitutes at heart, they are evolutionary programmed to trade sex for resources, this is instinctive, its a feeling they get.
Do they get "horny" for real? Yes they do, as its a feeling, triggered by the understanding she will get something out of it.
So yes, its very, very legit.
Whats the problem in the west? We gave women the same (MORE actually) status than men, what happened? "Where are all the men!", and 90% of men gets frozen out.
Understand that, its a basic law, mechanism in female nature, she gets horny, triggered, when she feels she can get something out of the situation, she gets wet and want to fuck you.
