Oh, it gets worse, too.
As women get older, they're more interested in marrying. Who's left in the marriage pool when the woman is 30? Not the reliable, steady, attractive guys, but the guys who've never been married, and the guys who've been divorced. (And the guys cheating on their wives. Only delusional women think these sorts of guys are worth marrying.)
Which men at age 30 or 35 have never been married?
1) The players. The guys who can find a hot woman, have a sexual relationship with her, for a night or for a year, then pull the plug and find another hot woman. Even if he's pulling not-so-hot women, he's getting the variety he wants, without having to make a commitment.
2) The losers. The guys who are too nerdy or too broke or too flaky or too something - they'd like to be married, but nobody has found them good enough yet.
How about the divorced men? There's a good reason most of them are divorced. Sure - you can blame it on women's hypergamous impulses, but truth is, something went wrong. The guy played more alpha than he was willing or able to sustain, and let himself go somehow, and his wife pulled the plug. Even the guys who got married *because* they were decent providers - they got laid off, and didn't find better paying work right away, or something else. First time, that can be bad luck, but it also makes you more unlucky in the future, and women sense that.
So not only is the dating and mating pool smaller as women get older, but it's lower quality, too.
