"It’s not that he’s just not that into you—it’s that there aren’t enough of him. And the numbers prove it. Using a combination of demographics, statistics, game theory, and number-crunching, Date-onomics tells what every single, college-educated, heterosexual, looking-for-a-partner woman needs to know: The “man deficit” is real. It’s a fascinating, if sobering read, with two critical takeaways: One, it’s not you. Two, knowledge is power, so here’s what to do about it.
The shortage of college-educated men is not just a big-city phenomenon frustrating women in New York and L.A. Among young college grads, there are four eligible women for every three men nationwide. This unequal ratio explains not only why it’s so hard to find a date, but a host of social issues, from the college hookup culture to the reason Salt Lake City is becoming the breast implant capital of America."
That book is completely bullshit because it wants to have its cake and eat it too. It wants women to be equal earners and equally educated with men (great idea - truly fully support this but hasn't been this historic norm) but it doesn't want women to do what men have done since the beginning of time (date and marry someone of lower education/lower earners).
So yes 'it is you'. "you" are free to be as open minded as men when it comes to dating (i.e. change the historical norm for women just as the female education/earning gap has changed over history), which would relieve pressure in the 'market place'.
