Yes, of course they would when you put it in that simple terms. A guy would want to have the hottest woman available to him. That's not rocket science.
Here's why it doesn't work that way though. A guy would rather have an average looking girl that's faithful and carries his children without divorce raping him or sleeping with Chad on the side.
Girls don't care about that, they would rather have the best looking male even if he has slept with hundreds of girls before, and likely cheats on the side.
The reason is very logical when you think about it. Girls want the best seed for their children (Chad). Guys want a faithful girl who can raise their children.
The problem rises today when girls can have the best of both worlds easily. Chad impregnates the girl then leaves her, now the girl finds a beta provider to raise Chads children. Win-win for everyone except average to unattractive guys.
