what happens in the ethereum chain if someone make a house with 100 young beautiful women and advert to male eth node operators that they can spend a night with them strictly paid with ethereum only, and repeat that until they have a majority of the stake

For example, the honest validators could decide to keep building on the minority chain and ignore the attacker's fork while encouraging apps, exchanges, and pools to do the same. They could also decide to forcibly remove the attacker from the network and destroy their staked ETH. These are strong economic defenses against a 51% attack.

51% attacks are just one flavor of malicious activity. Bad actors could attempt long-range attacks (although the finality gadget neutralizes this attack vector), short range 'reorgs' (although proposer boosting and attestation deadlines mitigate this), bouncing and balancing attacks (also mitigated by proposer boosting, and these attacks have anyway only been demonstrated under idealized network conditions) or avalanche attacks (neutralized by the fork choice algorithms rule of only considering the latest message).

since the women operator would have not used like energy they could keep doing that forever on any new forks and replace women as they get a bit too old too, and the attacker could also pretend to be honest and attack at the worse possible moment for the chain, and keep doing that with the mechanism I've explained

No such thing as an Ethereum network
It's a centralized bank ledger in AWS now
