One of Walsh’s pet observations pertains to what she calls the “soft harem,” where high-status men (i.e., the football captain) maintain an “official” girlfriend as well as a rotating roster of neo-concubines, who service him in the barroom bathroom or wherever the beer is flowing. “There used to be more assortative mating,” she explained, “where a five would date a five. But now every woman who is a six and above wants the hottest guy on campus, and she can have him—for one night.”

Otherwise interesting article. But this explains how girlfriends end up with big cocking alphas!

Bigoted arrogent and so very self absorbed . Also far too long ,rambling and poorly researched, rarely rises beyond assertions .

Her starting point is that only men with money and status are worthy or "marriageable" and then quotes assertions from people whose views support this idea.
I don't see that a big dick comes into it, I kept seeing reference to status , in our society this is usually money position etc .

As an aside, the whole alpha thing seems to be big with guys who are wanna be gansta types and seems rare in guys with status ,education ,money etc ,so have little connection with the guys she is talking about.

Exactly. See the thing about woman who is attracted to bad a** is this: He make her feel safe. This applies to most men who carry themselves. So if something goes down, she knows that your man will step up to the plate when needed. It is a natural aphrodisiac.

This talk of women marrying down and capalist men are pigs refering to men in western society, the rambling museings . I think author is a bit disturbed ,in a second generation feminist kind of way.
In any case this is a commercial link. I took it out but replaced it with info of where to find.

She seems to be looking for money etc not a "gansta".

No matter what you are always going to find biasness and prejudice in authors because they go by point of view and personal experiences.
It's like this.
Say there are 10 percent of men who are just a**holes with the 90% as cool as can be. So this woman blind dates 10 men out of the 100 and out of her misfortune, she gets the a**holes. Now what her opinion be of men based on that experience. So even though most of the men where gentlemen, her experience caused her to fall into prejudice against men. Is she wrong? Yes because there are more than 10 men in the world but I understand how she arrived to that conclusion. This applies to most anything when it comes to biasness and prejudice.

Your maths is lousy work out the odds on what you just said .
In any case her problem isn't the men she dated it is her own nature .
Interestingly high status ,educated men are not so interested in education in a woman . So the men she regards as her peer group are looking at far younger women.
