Why is Wall Street obsessed with "Models and Bottles"?

Or is it just "Analysts/Associates" fantasy because they're inexperienced? I've never met a VP or other seniors with that attitude. I've never met inexperienced or less experienced individuals in IB who was remotely interested in "settling down, having kids or a family etc". Why is that?

A lot of money? Entry level base salary at Analyst level is peanuts after all the taxes. How exactly can they afford "Models"?
