Men pursue power and wealth and its trappings not to impress women, but to impress other men. It's not about getting sex; it's about getting admiration and status.
I don't believe things are ever that simple. Perhaps for some people they are, but I know enough people who do what they do merely because they like completing things in as elegant a fashion as possible that I don't believe that this can be that generic.
Then again, I work in IT and have a degree in the sciences, so that might skew things a bit.
