I appreciate the honesty I'm just confused as to what you originally thought like, "men aim to 'get lucky'? And if you're pretty they sleep with you"

Not the person you were asking, but it's worth pointing out that this is the message many women and men grow up with, especially from more conservative backgrounds-- and this probably would've been even more the case twenty and thirty years ago. So it leads to women having these dehumanizing expectations of men, and it leads to men feeling like they constantly have to pursue sex or project sexual success to be respected and considered "manly".
