Post-Wall, self described “commitment-phobic” woman lamenting that all the good men are taken but refuses to lower her standards despite not being relationship worthy
It's a deeply rooted biological impulse. Historically the most challenging thing for a woman to help her offspring survive was to secure resources for them. So if you're in a prehistoric agricultural society and King Bonk controls half the settlement's wealth, he'd be a decent option even if he already had a bunch of wives if your other options are starving peasants. For similar reasons, polygyny is much more common than polyandry.
She says elsewhere that her ex was an Ivy League educated lawyer who was hot and rich (whom she broke up with). So this, plus her comments, show that her standards are impossibly high. There are plenty of good men out there willing to date her, but none of them are good enough for her.
Like many, she had her chance with a high quality guy, but blew it because she thought that same level of quality would exist for her to pluck off a tree, at any age.
