I could understand a woman not wanting a guy that's dependant, chronically unemployed and not looking for work, etc., but there aren't enough single, "intelligent" (whatever that means) professional types to go around for all of the women with unreasonable, impossible-to-meet standards. They say that they won't become a man's property, but in reality they want to sell themselves to the highest bidder - and the irony is that many will fail to even get any bids at all.

Often, the problems are that they are either nasty, or are unaware of, or unwilling to learn, how to be attractive to the opposite sex. Sometimes, it's several of those factors.
I do agree with you here. There are many awful, catty, horrible women out there who truly do only want a partner that can match and possibly exceed their salary.

I know quite a few men, however, who are the same way. Maybe this is due to the circles I travel in, but a lot of the men I am aquainted with require a woman to be college-educated and able to pull in a pretty hefty salary, even if she won't end up working when they have a family.

Again, maybe this is not common among men, but in my experience there are many people in both genders who consider fancy diplomas a requirement for attractiveness.
