This is a complex topic and it appears from the comments so far most people prefer to parrot trite notions rather than think about the issue at hand. We live in a world where the Internet creates an illusion of plenty. There are dating sites, porn sites, social media sites, all crammed with - seemingly - an endless supply of desirable potential partners. We are hardwired by evolution to seek the best genes with which to commingle our own in order to pass our DNA into the future (even if we don't actually want to have children - our behaviors and our self-image rarely coincide). In times past we'd have a very limited pool of options and we'd quickly discover our "rank" within our tiny society of hamlet, tribe, or village. But today we go online and are presented with the illusion of plenty. And so our tiny primate brains are confused and we imagine we can acquire a much higher-ranking partner than would hitherto have been possible.

In reality, however, what's actually happened is that nearly everyone has miscalibrated, and so everyone is seeking a partner beyond their reach. Not surprisingly, this leads to disappointment - not only among men but also among women. The problem is profound, but as most people aren't very thoughtful, the response is trite soundbites rather than a more adequate analysis of the fundamental problem.
