Speaking on the topic of socio-economic background (i.e. "class"), I recall reading a study once that found that women from lower socio-economic backgrounds were attracted to hyper masculine men. Muscles, tattoos, tough, etc.
Whereas girls from middle, and especially, upper class backgrounds did not have as strong a preference for hyper masculine men.
I don't remember what their preferences were or if they were even stated, it was years ago that I read on this study.
Just something that is interesting to think about as well.
The "go-getter" player guys that you talk about seem to be doing well because the girls from their background prefer these types of men. A sort of selective pressure if you will.
Whereas the more refined, discrete (or perhaps beta and gay, depending on how you look at it) character seems to work okay for middle and upper class men.

Grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference
