life - Female graduates cannot find Mr. Right

The problems is of all big cities in the world, but hitting now China in a larger way: female graduates - baptised the 'third' sex - find it harder and harder to link up with a man as they get better education. ESWN collected some material on this issue.
Professor Yu Jiangbao of Xiamen University blames partly also the picky women themselves:

On the one hand, the female graduate student hopes that their mates should have education not less than theirs. On the other hand, the males hope that the females should not have more education than theirs. These are the sides of the same coin, but it leads to the same inequality in choices by gender. These attitudes creates two consequences. On one hand, the female graduate student increases significantly their requirements: that is, on top of the usual standards of height, wealth and status is added education as a minimum requirement. This posed a barrier in the marriage market, and decreases the number of choices.
