They're willing to, but they don't want to. Female attraction is a very primal thing that craves a life partner who provides safety and stability (on account of babies), a less educated and less financially well off man doesn't really scratch that itch. A women will endlessly test her man looking for reassurances that they are still strong enough to be a good provider, a man who is more educated and successful will have a much easier time enduring those tests and the relationship will be more stable.
A relationship where the women has a higher standing than the man is a relationship that's working uphill.
