Please note I make no claim that it is exactly the same in both directions.

Of course reality is complicated, and it depends on any individual’s specific SES and other factors.

The circumstance of a highly educated financially well compensated woman frustrated that there are many women competing for the pool of men who are either at least as well financially compensated or educated as they are, is different than that of a lower SES woman frustrated that there is tough competition for men in their … acquaintance… who are financially and otherwise secure enough to establish a long term relationship with. Neither of those is the just a hook up question either.
