She kinda answers this dilemma at the end: is the man in question after just some booty in which case, play by the “rules of society: be a rich, superficially good looking jerk" or are they after an actual human connection where sex may or may not exist?

Many traditional narratives on male/female relationships seem to focus on the sexual wants and needs of men far more than ANY other need of men OR women.

For your friend, is Sex the first thing he wants from any female person(hence they ask outright)? Do they see anything else of value that could come to them from any relationship with a woman? And what does he bring to the table in return?
