The Education Gap and Dating Imbalance

In this podcast, the author John Berger discusses the education gap between men and women and its impact on the dating market. He noticed that many successful women were struggling to find suitable partners, leading him to investigate the lopsided gender ratios in colleges across the US. Contrary to the common belief that it is an urban problem, Berger reveals that the issue exists nationwide and globally. The dating market is divided into a white-collar segment with an excess of women and a blue-collar segment with an excess of men. Berger's first book, 'Data Nomics,' delves into this phenomenon, while his latest book, 'Make Your Move,' offers dating solutions for women.
