Women do not like to date/marry “down” as a general rule
It's called "hypergamy", the desire of women to mate with the best available. Women would rather stay home than go out with someone who doesn't meet their standards. Men are less picky.
Evidence: “Two in three relationships start on Tinder, 50 men, 50 women. Forty-six women show all their attention to just four men and what do those four [men] have? They signal success with a college degree,”
Women would rather share "Prince Charming", than have "Jack the auto mechanic" all to themselves. Go to a book store and browse the back covers of "romance novels" to see what women fantasize about.
The article is all about women being deprived of what they regard as suitable mates, because more and more men have stopped playing the game.
