Psychologist and professor Jordan Peterson explains the paradox that women face in the working world: as women gain more power and status, they may be less attractive to men, which can lead to difficulties in both their personal and professional lives.
The societal pressure on women to become educated and successful can lead to a smaller dating pool, resulting in disassociated men and singleton women who have difficulty finding a suitable partner. However, curtailing women's ability to become educated and successful is not the solution to this problem.
The increasing female achievement with status, education, and resources is making it difficult for women to find men they are attracted to because of the evolutionary psychology that underpins the dating market. However, the fact that women are outperforming men in college cannot be undone to resolve this issue.
In a hypergamous society, women are faced with two choices - settle for a partner who may not meet all their requirements or be alone. Men, on the other hand, do not have the option to settle and are bound by evolutionary precepts.
As people get older and have accumulated more education and employment experience, their dating pool may decrease, especially if they are seeking a partner with a similar or higher status, particularly for women. However, individuals with advanced degrees or higher are more likely to be married or in relationships, regardless of gender.
