“fewer eligible males” - well, good for those males.

My life experience has been different, perhaps because the fields I studied and in which I worked are so male dominant, and that San Diego is one of the few major metropolitan areas where single men outnumber single women (thanks to the Navy.)

Mostly I’ve found that highly educated women are indeed more discriminating and I gather that young men today who don’t get at least one college degree are going to feel the pressure.

But I suspect this will all level out, sort of automatically. The meaning of a college degree has been greatly diluted to where now it is simply a perfunctory hurdle employers want, even if they aren’t willing to pay more.

As a woman with a college degree… let me just point out that a lot of us would give our eyeteeth for a man who can fix the plumbing, the electric, that carburetor, the water heater and furnace, the hole in the roof, and other things that your ordinary literature major needs to call expensive professionals for.
