Genetics: Guy making lots of money is good, so he can show off around the girls and make them happy with expensive things and show how important she is to him by spending time and money on her instead of making even more money. Other than money in a guy, women don't often care much about it. Education: Through education one can overcome the above mentioned evolutionary trait to do something more worthwhile with one's live than solely making babies. Social: Social pressure is not to be underestimated. Some people are just happier if they are high up in the show-off chain.
