The dating market for women is getting tougher. In part, this is because fewer men are attending universities. Why would male enrollment in higher education matter for women? Because women, on average, prefer educated men. One source of evidence comes from women's personal responses to dating profiles posted by men.
Researchers analyzed 120 personal dating ads posted by men on the West Coast and in the Midwest.
They found that two of the strongest variables that predicted how many responses a man received from women were years of education and income. Similar results have been found in Poland.
Researchers analyzed how many women responded to dating ads posted by 551 men. They found that men with higher levels of education and higher income received more responses. A more recent
study in Australia of more than 40,000 online daters found that women were more likely to initiate contact with a man if he had more education than themselves.
