It highlights an uncomfortable biological truth. Men don't care about marrying down because they get a career in order to provide for their families. In contrast, women get a career because of social status, they look down on men without college degrees (even if it's something as stupid as gender studies) as inferiors because they will degrade their social status in the eyes of their female peers
If they just picked one deal breaker finding someone would be doable. The problem is they make all their "standards" deal breakers. About 1/3 of men have a bachelor's degree or higher. That's still a lot of men that a given woman could choose from. The problem is that they add that he also has to be 6 foot whatever, make $100k+, look like a male model, etc. They end up creating a man in their heads that either doesn't exist or has every woman within 100 miles chasing him.
