Living in Hollywood means you're constantly surrounded by beautiful women.
Many wives would keep a watchful eye on their husbands, especially if there are models and other starlets on set.
**But what chance does a man have against a former beauty queen?**

I don' understand the last sentence.
What's the meaning of this phrase "what chance ... have against ..."? and is there any implied meaning in the sentence also?

Thanks in advance.

Answer

No.  It means "there is very little chance of a man successfully resisting the charms of a beauty queen."  Essentially, a wife in Hollywood knows that her husband will meet many beautiful women and that he probably will not be faithful to his wife.  In some cases, the husband and a beautiful woman may be coworkers who become friends and eventually lovers. Sometimes, the man is a predator who offers favors or a job in exchange for sex, and other times, the woman is a predator who offers sex in exchange for a job.

Answer

It's a rhetorical question. it means that men don't have a chance to have them as their girlfriend.
