Sample Book Insights: #1 The man deficit is the perceived shortage of college-educated men, and it is often blamed on women not being able to find men who are willing to commit. But what if the problem is not strategic. What if most of the good men are taken. #2 The dating market is not good for college-educated women, as the number of men outnumbering women is staggering. The situation is even worse for women who want to get married and have children, as the dating pool is full of men who don’t want to marry or have children. #3 The hookup culture is a result of lopsided gender ratios and an undersupply of college-educated men. The conventional explanations for these trends, such as social entropy, never seem to involve demographics. #4 The dating market is not just difficult for college-educated women in big cities, but also in rural states such as Mississippi and Montana. The number of age 30-to-34, college-educated women who have never been married rose from 865,083 in 2007 to 1,133,956 in 2012.
