Basically this. Women seek such amount of "success"(college, good job) which will allow them to meet the best partner possible, where best(to have secure family with) is mainly money, but also the men at high positions have psychological properties which women find attractive (hard working, intelligent or influential family, possibly functional amount of psychopatic/sociopathic tendencies, higb status in society/comparatively to their friend circle. With inteligence come sense of humour. To climb corporate ladder you must have some manly tendencies). This is seemingly interrupted by childlessness and hedonism in modern women, but these hedonistic tendencies again find them looking for these same men as they are the most attractive. However these men do not pick the childless+hedonistic women usually and that's why they end up "settling" with weak males, who have some status, who will provide their hedonistic thirst. Allow them to cheat, pay their expensive vacations, etc.
Women misunderstand men in this. They believe that successful men, they seek, will find them attractive based on their own success. This isn't case, as these men can pick and for settling usually pick younger, family oriented and attractive women, who do not have to be successful in career. This is why it seems to women that men date down, but in reality they do not. As men measure women by different qualities than women measure men by, but women do not realise it. Neither men realise what qualities women seek.
Hopefully this makes sense, am not english speaker.
