I may get bashed but so be it. Just want to say, some of these women are just so picky, so overly selective about men, that they end up rejecting many fine men.
Why do these women cited here, lament the alleged shortage of men with college degrees or advanced degrees for their potential mates?? Where is it written, that a woman with a master’s degree needs a man with an equivalent education?
I don’t think men are so quick to reject someone right off the bat, for not meeting some long list of criteria that a potential mate needs to have.
So the women would rather not have a man in their lives, rather be alone??
You are dead-on correct.
Men are told over and over that WE are shallow, sex-obsessed creatures that only want a hot woman.
But please show me rich, educated or successful women that marry carpenters, construction workers, plumbers? I can show you hundreds of degreed professionals that marry uneducated and not super-hot women. You show me models, heiresses, business leader women that do the same.

Its because men are not hypergamous, and dont grow up spoiled entitled brats being told they are entitled and deserve the best of everything solely because they have breasts and a vagina (ie because woman).
Men are visual first, second and sometimes third. That can mean any number of things to different men; but a woman’s social or economic status is usually at number 3 or below in men’s consideration - if considered at all.
After that, she only dated men who were lawyers, powerful, or rich, but often divorced, which always left her an easy “out” as to why she should let them go. Unfortunately for her, she snubbed many “perfectly fine” men who she just didn't see as worthy of her. “Nice” guys just weren't as exciting or as smart as the other men she'd already been with.
She now is in her mid-60s and still not married. She says she just wants to settle down and not have to worry about working, but she can't afford that luxury.
I don't see a good chance for her to be married to a decent man, now.
Women are hardwired for hypergamy, marrying men of equal or higher status.
You’re right that we have devalued skilled labor, such that many women with a bachelor’s degree won’t marry a working electrician and instead risk being alone if not living with an uncommitted bachelor.
A friend of mine, female engineer, married a construction contractor. He had a bachelor’s he didn’t, but earned close to what she did. She was mocked for marrying “down”. Fast forward a few years, she has two boys, and many peers are never married or married without children.
Feminism is self-selecting the most accomplished women out of the gene pool. In the US, the childlessness rate is about 20%, go to Germany, and it is 30% of college educated women.
I have a Master’s. Had quit school about half way through my Bachelor’s so finished it after we got married. Went to work for a private university and got my Master’s for free while there.
Hubby has no degree but is 10 times smarter than me. lol
