Evolutionary, a man wants to fuck as many women as possible since that increases his odds of passing on genes. That's why men are generally willing to fuck most girls as long as they're not quasimodo-tier ugly. Hell, most men would fuck anything just for the novelty and challenge of it. If someone told me that I could go on a Safari to subdue a tiger with my bare hands and then fuck it. Well, it's not like I wanna fuck a tiger, but then I would be able to say I raped an angry tiger. And that would be kind of cool.
The point is men fuck as many women as they can 'cause it spreads their genes.
Now WOMEN on the other hand do not benefit from fucking as many men as possible. It does not improve their chances. Women wants to fuck the BEST available man. The reason for this is because the best man would be the one best suited for helping the women rear the child. That's why women generally cheat on their spouses with a more attractive man (from their point of view)
But this is the tricky part. What defines the best man? Well, in this day and age I'm not really sure. But all the millions of years that cultivated this instinct, the traits of an ideal mate were different than they are now. In tribal prehistory aggression was a desired trait, aggressive men were better at protecting their family and tribe. Beauty have always been desirable, mainly because what we see as physical beauty is a visual indicator of health. (Symmetric features, well developed musculature, lack of disfigurements, and so on) Healthy males just make better partners, and looks are a quick indicator. As for being rich I'm sure I don't need to elaborate. Popularity is a great attractor since it generally indicates a high status in a tribal culture, the benefits are obvious. And lastly, the oft spouted "confidence". Well, confidence is just a male unconsciously expressing contentedness in all these things.
