Let me rephrase that as "There aren't enough 6'1 college-educated WASP men who look like football players and are charismatic and extroverted".

I was thinking the same thing… this article doesn’t exactly speak to non-college-educated women and minorities.

But for college–educated WASP women, yeah, there is a surprising phenomenon going on that nobody seemed to foresee.

Heaven forbid a woman also has their likes and dislikes.

Likes and dislikes based on societies arbitrary ideals of what an ideal guy is like.

Whats wrong with non-college educated men?

If you asked one of these women, I bet they'd say it's because they want someone who is as educated as they are, claiming some sort of preference of higher intelligence.

Of course, the real answer is money. College educated men make more money, generally.

Ya that's right, they're really just being gold diggers. No one actually talks to their SO.

Significantly more women go to college than a men which is a recent trend and culture has yet to catch up with this change.

Yup that's true, although mostly my fault probably.
