If you are asking what would a well-balanced investment portfolio mean to a Saharan goat herder 2000 years ago then clearly the answer would be “not much” but that is a fatuous question. Wealth to the goat herder is size of his herd. The women in this goat herding society value the same things as women today: social status and resource access . Primitive tribal societies are stratified and those at the top get the pick of women and more food as well as service from those lower in the social hierarchy. Certainly, a prestige European car will not mean much for a Kalahari bush woman but proficiency of a male with a bow and arrow will signify much (namely, the ability to defend the family and obtain meat). The distinction is one of content not structure. The desiderata may assume a different content based on time and culture but the form is essentially the same and based on its function (i.e. enhanced capacity to rear children). Also, Buss’ cross-cultural study was concerned with long-term partner slection and it relied on self-report. Studies of short-term mate selection that are based on observation (rather than self-report) find that women look for (a) good looks; and (b) wealth and that they are willing to trade off one for the other.
