IS THE DATING PROBLEM A CLASS ISSUE?

Dear Man Talk: (Yes a serious question) Isn’t the dating problem we’re seeing a class issue? I mean every one of these women is from the lower, middle, and upper proletarian, and a few from the lower middle class? And most of them are what we used to call “wh–te trash” or “trailer trash”? Aren’t these women all trying to escape their rather obvious low status (Sexual, Social, Economic, Political) Market value? And isn’t it just that what they want is attention and resources from men that are above their market value? And that their attempt at overreach by all their posturing is frustration at their failing? And that men who can take advantage of their fantasies do? And isn’t it just that men are more clear about their own sexual market value? And that men are more in control of their sexual market value? So that this crisis is affecting underclass, laboring, working, lower-middle, and hardly any middle (educated professional), and upper-middle (educated capital managing professional) and certainly not lower upper, middle-upper, and upper classes? I mean, it sure looks like that. Am I missing something?
