Men near the bottom of the ladder have seen their earnings and economic status collapse. This has made them less attractive mates, both because of the earnings collapse itself and some of its likely secondary effects. Diminished capacity to support others, especially relative to a normal standard of living, might also cause them to find relationships less attractive or even humiliating.
Women across the board have seen their economic prospects improve. This has made them more capable of escaping or avoiding miserable and abusive relationships, which are much more common on the bottom.
Utopia, you are standing in it!
