[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hold out until you find the perfect man who meets 100% of your long list of requirements. A lot of women do that.

Of course, the rate of unmarried single women has gone up lately.. but at least they aren't settling for less than ideal circumstances.[/quote]

Is this a joke?  Women’s unrealistic dating standards are already overwhelmingly responsible for the current broken dating market.  In our “cheap sex” culture, of course some man who is a 10 was willing to bang a woman who is a 6 a few times.  Now the 6 forevermore thinks she deserves to be married to a 10, not understanding that there’s a difference between who men will sleep with when they’re horny and who they will make a lifetime commitment to.

Advising women to hold out for “the perfect man who meets 100% of [their] long list of requirements” is actually insane.  Do you think your dad was a 100% perfect Prince Charming? No, he was a human being with flaws, just like your mom—and yet society thrived with these matches.[/quote]

Let's take education as a simple case. A woman who went to college probably wants a man who also went to college. But, university enrollment at the undergrad level at most universities is 60-40 male-female. So just on that measure, and it's not a lot to ask for, and it's 3 women competing for 2 men.[/quote]

Yes, let us do take education as a simple case…of women’s absurd dating standards.  There are lots of well-paying jobs that don’t require a college degree—a 22-year-old plumber or electrician with four years of experience will likely earn significantly more than most 22-year-olds with a marketing degree (or most other non-STEM degrees).

Even some knowledge jobs, in the IT field for example, can be obtained and successfully done with the appropriate certifications and no college degree.

However, a college degree *is* important to those who believe in credentialism and status symbols.  Additionally, women who insist on a partner with a college degree are really looking for someone who ascribes to the left-wing orthodoxy that dominates these institutions.  Men, especially white men, correctly view these institutions and their ideology as hostile toward them and, as you noted, are avoiding them in increasing numbers. And now women are dismayed that there are not enough men engaging with the institutions and systems that seek their destruction—amazing.

So while a college degree is not necessary for earning a reasonable income in many fields or even obtaining knowledge (which has never been more freely available to so many people, via the Internet), many women view it as a requirement in a partner because they have an inordinate focus on class and credentialism and have strict ideological limits on the views their partners are allowed to hold.

So, yes, limiting one’s dating pool to only college educated men is not some sort of rational filter to ensure he can provide for a family, but is actually one of the superfluous “checkboxes” that many women need to abandon if they want to succeed in finding a partner.[/quote]
