A dearth of marriagable men has left an “oversupply” of educated women taking desperate steps to preserve their fertility, experts say.Sure, they should simply settle for less-educated men. But they won't. Because hypergamy.
The first global study into egg freezing found that shortages of eligible men were the prime reason why women had attempted to take matters into their own hands.
Experts said “terrifying” demographic shifts had created a “deficit” of educated men and a growing problem of “leftover” professional women, with female graduates vastly outnumbering males in in many countries.
The study led by Yale University, involved interviews with 150 women undergoing egg freezing at eight clinics.
Researchers found that in more than 90 per cent of cases, the women were attempting to buy extra time because they could not find a partner to settle down with, amid a “dearth of educated men”.

Hypergamy renders women barren
Overeducation is a form of self-sterilization:

Just as no woman will "marry down," no self-respecting man will spend the rest of his life as a "kitchen bitch."
Also, fortunately for "the children," who will be spared a life begun in bastardy, more and more men are being disincentivized from being anonymous sperm donors.
Enjoy your cats, "ladies." You had better hope that there are enough of them around tl bury you atvthe end of your dotage when you die without any family in attendance. As for those eggs, you might as well just throw them away. "Posterity" doesn't apply to you.
And what if more men changed their behavior in response to "what women want"? What if they stayed in school until age 30 to complete a master's or Ph.D.? Do you really think they'd want a 30 year old woman at that point when they could easily swoop the 21 year olds they see from day to day?
On the upside, the recent tanking in NAM fertility in the U.S. may have something to do with universities handing out degrees to NAM women like candy.
"The anthropologist suggested some women might need to be prepared to compromise some of their standards in order to find love. But she suggested society should act to increase the number of men going into higher education."
Finally, a woman shows signs of rational thought.
What might help is... y'know... not admitting (or, for employers, HIRING) women sight unseen while making white men jump through a 463-bullet-point checklist, just to virtue-signal that you're hiring enough women-'n-minorities.
Who wants to make the sex to a woman with a "pixie cut" wearing a pantsuit? If I spent 7 years getting my PHD in awesomeness and I'm earning that six figures, I'm getting me a pretty cheerleader trophy wife like God-Emperor Trump.
@JP
Good point. Let's hope that the women getting advanced degrees are disproportionately the fat / ugly / masculine ones who feel deep down they have to rely on themselves because men with choices don't want anything to do with them.
Notice that the article is from Britain, home to the ugliest women in Europe.
Nothing takes away the pretty like a sensible haircut and a powersuit.
"RACISTS" Men of color out there by the billions and these most likely white hoity toity types females can not even give them the time of day.
@Mr.MantraMan
At least until they're desperate enough to go full Butthex0r, or whatever that Swedish term is.
When the clinically insane and butch dykes took control of the feminist narrative the first thing they did was propagate a monstrous lie, that the production and nurture of society's next generation was unimportant, a process best left to stupid women or farmed out to the paid help.
I see a bright young woman as 50% of the necessary ingredients to producing bright children. Women who think that that's not "enough" are fools to whom con artists have sold self-destruction.
Anything you can do, I can do better...but I want to marry up.
(Apparently, the faceless, magic) "SOCIETY should act to increase the number of men going into higher education." In other words, "We should make a law that states that men must Educate up/ Money up/ Bad Boy up/ Man up and marry those educated sluts." Just one of the flaws in that theory is that educated men (taken on the whole) know better to than to marry an educated feminist.
And in the true nature of solopsism, they are betting in both directions. First by actively working to expand the current climate where in men are unwelcome at colleges. Second by freezing their eggs in case what they are seeing is not real and the federal government will simply print more educated badboys in the future.
Even if they were to acknowledge that the cyclical nature of their logic has begun to spin so fast that it has produced the oscillatory howl that flattened them in the last election...still....all you would get is... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I reject the premise.
The men don't want them.
The problem is the assumption by women with a PhD in Sociology that they're somehow marrying down when they marry a plumber or a guy with a BS in something useful that makes twice as much money.
I think a lot of this boils down to the sunk cost fallacy. She spent a dozen years and hundreds of thousands getting her mostly unmarketable advanced degree. Now she realizes children are more important to her than career, but she already has too much invested.
Women confuse a college degree with self-improvement.
They do the same thing with sexual experience.
Once she embraces the wrong premise, every action moves her further from happiness.
Modern life is saturated with such falsehood. Only those who reject the fads & fashions, and determine for themselves by brute logic how they should live, have much hope of avoiding the tar pits.
Both men and women have this problem, but women are naturally predisposed to be worse.
This is exactly why men have run the world since time immemorial. Women never see the big picture most can't look 5 minutes ahead. They do know that they've been told to go to college their whole life but for what that is the mystery. Lefties constantly try to deny the laws of economics and the free market no different than what's going on here. No difference between them and children.

I couldn't imagine wanting to continue seeing a woman who tells you she's frozen her eggs. That already means you're "on the clock" to be her donor daddy. It also raises a bunch of questions about her and her past. Plus, it's creepy. Might be "progress," but it's still just weird.
How did we go from teens screwing in the backseat to this in 50 years?
The doom of feminism is inevitable. The only question is whether it will be replaced by a Christian patriarchy or a Muslim one.
The reliability of power to the freezers is the only thing keeping this whole scam going.
So apparently society needs to change to solve this problem, which was not created by "selfish career women putting their fertility on hold" (whaddya call freezing eggs?), but by men "intimidated" by educated women (which is actually disgust at their relentless self-absorption).
It's almost a joke how deluded the educated idiots quoted are, and how completely opposite reality their "educated" views are. Of course, their views are mostly that way because, really, it's men's fault:
Dr Gillian Lockwood, executive director, IVI said: "It exacerbates the problem of men not wanting to 'settle down' and start a family until it's almost too late for the woman to conceive naturally."
I hate this planet. Watching my niece graduate college, now she's thinking "GRAD SCHOOL!" ..... in Communications.
WTF do you do with a Doctorate in Communications? Besides teach losers Communications?
Gee, better hope no other broads had THAT idea before you did... I'd say "Good luck" but I hate to lie and give out false optimism.
Is the percentage of broads that can think past Stage 1 higher than 5%?
WTF do you do with a Doctorate in Communications? Besides teach losers Communications?
That's the degree you get when you want to go into broadcasting, and the math doesn't work. Where I went to school the communications classes were full of very attractive women who wanted to be news anchors. My class alone graduated enough of them to fill all the broadcast studios in the US for a dozen years. I suspect most of them ended up in marketing.
Is the percentage of broads that can think past Stage 1 higher than 5%?
It's not even anywhere near one percent. The ability to think long term goes hand in hand with the ability to discern cause and effect - something women are demonstrably hopeless at doing.
WTF do you do with a Doctorate in Communications?
Another popular landing place for such folks is school administration, especially positions like "academic counselor". Most of the Comm majors I know ended up in such spots at HS or college level.
I always wondered myself about all these communications majors. Clearly, as I've noticed over the years, appearance is a factor, as the hot and decently looking ones get the anchor and reporting jobs. I always wondered what happened to the uglier but more "talented" ones. I think Tatooine Sharpshooters Club is on to something here.
The only news segment these women aren't getting into anytime soon is the weather forecast. That's the domain of men and extremely hot Latinas.
Two words: Fake Education
I'm confused. Do these women really think they'll be chasing their little kids around at an age their grandmothers babysat grandchildren?
Talk about delusional. 60 year olds don't have the energy.
This is just Darwin in action. Propagating ones genes into the next generation isn't about the IQ to attend college.
In the end, it's the only "contest" that matters.
I like hiring "educated" women. It improves my bottom line.
There was a time when I used to laugh at the absurdity of this Enfield skit, but these days I find myself thinking of it as a joke less and less:

It's not about a man's education but his social status. The left has been indoctrinating Americans for decades that if you don't have a college degree you don't have value.
Many men are eligible. It's the women that are ineligible. The time they took to earn that degree and start their degree ensures no one wants them.
"The left has been indoctrinating Americans for decades that if you don't have a college degree you don't have value."
It's not just, or even primarily, the Left who's been doing that.
From a practical, gaming perspective, it's not that hard to mitigate the education/credentials obstacle to properly induce tingles. It requires one step only, with a bit of tact and observation.
Solution: Neg the hell out of whatever credentials and education she holds.
And yes, this works. If she has a degree or credentials in something you know nothing about, don't engage her in any logical discussion or argument on that topic. Even if you run rings around her, she'll still hold the same opinion because she has a piece of paper and you don't. Instead, steer the comparison to something that is obviously in favor of you. If she has a worthless degree, it's going to show up economically. Mock her relentlessly and playfully for it in both word and by showing off your own money. If she has a worthwhile degree, you're going to have to use your own expertise in a different area to make her "feel" you're more than her equal. For instance, almost any man is better at fixing or building things than a woman is, so you could get those to compare favorably with her area of expertise ("All that schooling and you can't even change a light bulb?" "You save lives every day and you can't even hammer a few nails into the wall?")
In other words, if she's initially attracted to you, and her credentials are worthless in your eyes, it will suddenly become much less important to her, and your value just increased in relation.
As a personal example, I met an Australian girl in a bar recently. She said she was in Insurance and was obviously proud of the fact as she was apparently a key player at her firm. I deliberately misheard her and for the rest of the night kept mentioning that she was "in shorts" as a profession. Whatever delusion she had about her own importance was shattered immediately, and for the rest of the time I was there, she practically refused to talk to anyone else
Men don't care about credentials, they care about results and success.
Couldn't be more true, as it applies to other men. When it comes to careers though, a man doesn't care what the woman does. I'd be happy banging the cute girl who stocks shelves at the grocery (we actually have one at mine, she's maybe 20 yo) while I ignore the fat bank branch manager next door who wanted to go for a ride in my truck when I came in to refinance.
This is sad af
The real problem for these women is false hypergamy.
They believe they are of higher social station than they truly are.
Just look at how stupid the students in that video are. Thirty years ago those morons couldn't have gotten in. They've memorized a few phrases like "Cis-normative" and that makes them think they are smart in the face of all available evidence.
Admitting stupid students is nothing new of course. When I was in college. Two thirds of the Ivy League's student body was born admitted to their family's university, even if they were challenged by successfully tying their own shoes.
At the state college level it was football players. Bubba Smith famously presented his professor with a sheet of paper with typed answers to the written essay final he'd just been given.
Both of those were big sources of income for the institution in question so awkward questions regarding qualification went unasked.
However...
I've said it before and I'll say it again, stupid women shouldn't go to college. That used to be so obvious that it didn't need to be mentioned.
Now it's too late to mention it. The rocks have avalanched their way into the university system.
"Now it's too late to mention it. The rocks have avalanched their way into the university system. "
Everything that has a beginning also has a middle & an end. Higher Ed is in its senility phase, and is being euthanized by the fads of our times (feminism, Kraonomics, all of the sub-fantasies of the embrace of unlimited resources & rejection of limits & boundaries.)
We're given the gift of living in times of increasing challenge. It's a gift because men & women require difficulty in order to prove ourselves worthy of the ultimate prize, a continuing line of descendants.
The Ultimate Prize is not of the world.
Female suffrage is what happens when men will give anything for sex. Deeeeegenerate.
@ Cataline - "College" has become just another consumer good. That's why it's so popular with women: it's the most expensive form of "this year's hottest handbag" they can find.
Add in debt financing, and the ladies have found their playground.
