Who said anything about procreating? Men want sex. Procreation is a
programmed side effect.

First, competition in modern society is as fierce as ever. Whether we do
better as a whole compared to 100 or 10,000 years ago is immaterial. We all
compete with out contemporaries. And no matter how secure the baseline is,
natural instinct is for your offspring to be as secure as possible, not
merely as secure as the baseline.

Second, this is instinct, not rational thought. This is why female of our
species will always go for the stronger, more beautiful and more well to do
specimens *even when* it's merely for a one night protected stand. No woman
will prefer to spend the night with the weak, timid or poor (qualities often
misinterpreted as being "nice") if there's a choice (and why should they,
would men?).
