WHATGMG?

The article that they are referring to is quite hilarious;

For one, it’s not as if we are holding out for Jake Gyllenhaal, but we do have certain non-negotiable expectations for potential mates that include college degrees and white-collar jobs. Life has always gone according to our plans, so why wouldn’t we land a man with these (reasonable) requirements?

Unfortunately now that over 60% of college graduates are women, it leaves 40% of male graduates cannot pair up with all 60% of those women so it will leave a large number of women without an equal or higher.

They are hypergamous and demand a higher quality man than they are.

Unfortunately these assumptions bump up against the growing inequality between the two genders. Millennial women have taken it for granted that they will pair up with equal partners. But increasingly, there aren’t enough of these men to go around. Women now outnumber men on college campuses, and single, childless women out earn their male counterparts. In fact, as author Liza Mundy writes in her book, The Richer Sex, Millennial women are increasingly finding two options when it comes to romance: marry down or don’t marry. “There needs to be a cognitive behavior change in what are [considered] important traits,” says Mundy. “I talk to so many women who are obsessed with finding men on their level. They want someone as ambitious, engaged, and high-achieving as they are. They maybe need to rethink that to seek a partner who is supportive, rather than competitive.”

They kind of nail it on the head here when it comes to women themselves, but take no accountability for men's reaction to this phenomenon.

Now higher status men have no reason to settle down with an educated woman, because instead of complimenting eachother's strengths and abilities, they will have to compete for dominance.

Men have an easier time finding women who are more amiable, and caring.
