Carnation, that might be kind of indicative of the population base. I don't have any hard core stats on hand but I am almost sure that college age females out number colege age males in about that proportion. So it may be more of a case where women have to be more competitive because more women are going to college than say 30 year ago.

In this state, most of the colleges have 55% women and 45% men. There have been a lot of theories advanced as to why that is but nothing concrete has been figured out.
I have a Ph.D. While I was pursuing it, many people informed me that if I got it, no one would want to marry me because "your degrees would make men feel inferior". I wasn't insisting on a husband with a doctorate but I wanted someone who was intelligent no matter what degree he held.
So...my husband has 2 bachelor's degrees and some work done on a master's. We don't know if he'll ever finish it but it honestly doesn't matter. He's as intelligent as I am although it's in different areas--like he's a whole lot more mathematically inclined than I'll ever be and knows much more about the physical and social sciences! Believe me, it evens out.
I think the key is to find someone with equal intelligence.
