Copy/paste from a previous comment.

"Women respond to men's looks. In one ambitious study, Elain Hatfield and her co-workers (1966) matched 752 University of Minnesota first-year students for a "Welcome Week" matching dance. The researchers gave each student personality and aptitude tests but then matched the couples randomly. On the night of the dance, the couples danced and talked for two and one-half hours and then took a brief intermission to evaluate their dates... The researchers examined a long list of possibilities. But so far they could determine, only one thing mattered: how physically attractive the person was (as previously rated by the researchers). The more attractive a woman was, the more the man liked her and wanted to date her again. The more attractive the man was, the more the woman liked him and wanted to date him again." Made the relevant text bold. Source: Social Psychology Tenth Edition by David G. Myers

Your comment implied that women don't think looks hold much value

First of all, college girls are hardly in the same demographic that would pay to have sex with a virgin man.

Secondly, if that's what you got out of my comment, then you've misinterpreted. I was talking about value as a potential mate not just casual social partners in a vaguely-but-not-quite-yet-sexual encounter. We are biased towards attractive people, period, even when sex is not in question.

Why that is relevant here is because a woman would have very little to gain from paying for sex: not only do they seemingly less interest in it than men do, they also have better access to it anyway. The guy being bid on provides absolutely no benefit to women in terms of financial or social power—unless you have a good argument against female hypergamy?
