I I know quite a few women and men who are unimpressed with wealth and it's trappings and have more important concerns - like love obviously
For the specific section of society dealt with in these books presumably?If you have a read of 'Goergette Heyer's Regency World' by Jennifer Kloester, it seems that money was the most important thing when choosing a partner in the Regency age.. interesting book...
But you will notice that people tend in general to marry those of similar earning power.
Perhaps it’s because people are settling older or maybe I’m just being cynical but I have noticed it more and more. I’m curious as to other people’s experience/ opinion on whether money/property is important to people when considering potential partners. I’d like to think relationships haven’t become that mercenary but listening to one or two female friends with agendas for potential boyfriends I’m starting to feel romance is dead.
Carrie from Sex and the city said it best
I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love. And I don't think that love is here in this expensive suite in this lovely hotel in Paris.
Neither is pretending not to know the real show title!The ability to quote sex in the city is not a virtue.

It's a good question by the OP.
I think it certainly does apply to some extent for women being attracted to men but not vice versa.
