I don't know why the women are complaining. They wanted equality right??

Females are hypergamous by nature, meaning they are looking to move up the socio-economic ladder. For example it is far more common for the male doctor to marry the nurse/cleaning lady than a female doctor marrying the male nurse/janitor.

Unfortunately, our modern culture has made money the biggest indicator of male status.

So now that women have become economically empowered and equal to men, the dating pool of available "acceptable" (higher earning/status) men shrinks drastically.

If you're a high earning male in Vancouver you have quite a swath of women to choose from (lucky s.o.b's), while the lower earning men are checking out because they don't want to compete with women, and cannot meet the 463 bullet point list that most Sex and the City types have rolled up in their over-sized hand-bags.

Roissy can explain this much more eloquently than I.

"When women make as much or more money than men, when they have equally prestigious jobs and an army of assistants, they will find that the pool of sexually desirable men dries up, and the inevitably lowered status men who are available to them are perceived as veritably castrated. Male dating inequality results, where more and more men are deemed unworthy mate prospects while the few men who still wield high status over the majority of women find their prospects enlarged."
