For whatever reason even from my perspective this article makes a lot of sense.
If you buy into the theory that everyone prefers to date someone who is 'better than them' then of course well to do, well educated women will find it hard to find men who meet and exceed their expectations. Partly because it's totally true that a large component of the the 20s - early 30s male bracket has seemed to have checked out and made lifestyles centered around adolescent pastimes and aspirations.
But another part of it is that these overly critical women do in fact need to get over themselves, get a better attitude and become more approachable. Maybe I'm a misogynist, but I find that in the professional world Gen Y woman seem to get a higher sense of accomplishment and self-actualization out of their career status, moreso than Gen Y men in simlar circles. These women build up these 'Sex and the City' like complexes where they think they're a lot sexier, classier, and savvier then reality and that extends into their expectations about their dating life and the men who occupy it.
