This is from "Evolutionary History of Hunter-Gatherer Marriage Practices", by Walker and others:
"Humans lived as hunter-gatherers for most of our species' history hence cultural variation amongst recent hunter-gatherers may be useful for reconstructing ancestral human social structure [8]â[10]. In a comparative study of 190 hunter-gatherer societies, Apostolou [11] showed that arrangement of marriage by parents or close kin is the primary mode of marriage in 85% of the sample; brideservice, brideprice, or some type of exchange between families is found in 80% of the sample; and less than 20% of men are married polygynously in 87% of the sample."
Thus (in my interpretation), from an evolutionary perspective, insofar as our psychology has been unchanged since hunter-gatherer times, mate selection/pairing is not so much the result of "women's psychology" but rather a cultural phenomenon that acts primarily at the level of the group as a game-theoretic exchange of resources intended to yield maximum returns for both parties (brideprice/brideservice for the bride's family and offspring for the grooms family). Considering historically abysmal rates of infant mortality, it is no wonder that fertility was considered a valuable resource that could be bought.
The psychology explained in the video is imo not specific to women but rather it is understood and enforced (unconsciously at least) by most members of society. This psychology is vestigial in the sense that recent medical and economic advances have drastically improved infant mortality rates and wealth per capita (respectively), which has put into question the value of these older practices and ways of thinking.

Arranged marriages were very common throughout the world until the 18th century. Typically, marriages were arranged by parents, grandparents or other relatives. The actual practices varied by culture, but usually involved the legal transfer of dependency of the woman from her father to the groom. The movement towards the emancipation of women in the 19th and 20th centuries led to major changes to marriage laws, especially regarding property and economic status. By the mid-20th century, many Western countries had enacted legislation establishing legal equality between spouses in family law. The period of 1975â1979 saw a major overhaul of family laws

I think this does make sense. Ancient and modern civilizations have shown that women were driven to mate with men to whom they (women) selectively chose. This very same tendency is repeated by us. We automatically are attracted to anyone who fits our physical and emotional demands which are generated in childhood once we get to know the outside world by getting in touch with our parents.
In other words we are driven by anyone who fits our parents' most intense characteristics.

Women were often sold to the richest man with the most resources so you must keep in mind they are groomed by their fathers and so on to only accept men that will better the family more than choosing for love. Thatâs patriarchy. The father choose the womanâs lover and the education that taught these women to look for rich men was also created by said men. These rich men wanted the youngest and most fair ladies, so they ofc made themselves seem the most desirable by promising a rich life of no worries to the women just to cheat or abuse them later. This was how they tricked them. Not all women wanted love and sought money ofc but there were a multitude that were just products of their society. Just like chastity was a word created for women. Only women able to seduce or influence financially had that type of power. Their society did not allow for such powerful influence from women to the degree youâre insinuating.
So this is a pretty wild take to me, I can see it being functional in a smaller population of men who were on the poorer side and looked up to the men who had money and multiple women.
