Not sure I agree. The law of supply and demand dictates that the lower the cost, the greater the demand, and man seeks to maximize female demand for his dick.
Women on the other hand seek to maximize the price for their vajajay.
What?
This is basic evolutionary psychology. Males of our species pursue a dual reproduction strategy: (1) we seek a high-value female to have children with in which we can invest our time and resources in raising those children (because we are a high MPI species), (2) we seek to spread our genetics through casual sex with low-value females to whom we offer no resources or time investment. Women mirror that strategy. On the one end of the spectrum, females seek to signal that they are high-value in order to attract the most powerful male (most resources and protection). On the other end of the spectrum, they seek to have sex with the most attractive and fittest males (slut behavior). Most of the time, the way they display themselves to you depends upon how you frame yourself. If you frame yourself as the provider, they pretend to be the chaste high-value woman. If you frame yourself to only want sex, and you are attractive to them, they will sometimes resort to the slutty behavior (assuming you are attractive to them). Men mix the two strategies up as well. The stereotypical alpha dad (like a Tony Soprano) has the "good woman" at home and multiple girlfriends on the side. All his investment goes into this children with the good woman. He has no emotional attachments to the girlfriends.
Indeed, research has shown that when women are hooked up to monitoring equipment, and asked to visualize infidelity by their husbands, they get a much greater response imagining emotional infidelity than just him fucking around. Conversely, men's heart rates jump significantly imagining their wives physically cheating on them, but not nearly as much imagining emotional cheating. This is because, genetically, men's genetics have everything to lose if men spend all their time and resources investing in some other man's children. But women have the most to lose if men develop emotional attachments to other women, since he could leave them and they would be out of the resources and investment they need to survive (think in terms of paleolithic life here).
What this means is that women have a vested interest in portraying themselves as very high-value. They seek to get the most investment possible in return for their fertility. Men, on the other hand, are the one's doing most of the physical work and protecting, and their interest in attracting the most high-value female. But both have that secondary strategy of non-investment sex. The problem with women is that the non-investment sex makes them a whore or an adulteress, which technically erases all their real value in the mating game. This is why so many women hide their slutty behavior when they engage in it, but men not so much. It's not a double standard because we are two completely different things.
A man selling himself really makes little sense in an evolutionary standpoint. Some women, in the age of contraception, might pay a little for his sex, but it's easy enough for women to frame themselves as sluts to men who have no intention of investing in them (or ability to do so). Women can easily get sex unless there is something drastically wrong with their appearance. Men, on the other hand, CANNOT easily get sex. We have to compete and we have to take all the risks in propositioning women. This creates a lucrative market for whores. Always has.
