Yeh, but for every gay guy, or poor guy... there's probably a gay girl or poor girl.

And I'm gonna take a shot in the dark here, but I'll bet there are probably a lot of girls who'd rather take their chances with a fornicator, poor, sinful dude than be number two or three of a rich and powerful pious dude. Or just stay single.
