100%, but, before sulfanilimide and penicillin, as many as half of men didn't make the cut, every generation. Childbearing-age women just died in childbirth all the time, to the point that men outnumbered women 2:1 in many age brackets (if there hadn't been a major war for a while). Hard to comprehend these days, but that's the environment our cultures evolved in... 

 Yes, evolutionary pressure used to be immense. That's why we're all so closely-related.

The idea that "society owes men a wife" is the modern thing that doesn't hold up to examination. If women no longer have men to choose from, they can't select for positive traits. Society has no vested interested in overriding womens' ability to choose a partner.
