>The article does not define what "confusion" means in this context. Does it mean that people are confused about what their criteria for mate selection are? About who is available as a potential partner? About what kinds of relationships are desirable? The article is confused. This isn't the first study on the subject. Basically online dating data has come out and the vast majority of women are only dating the top 10% or so of men. The top 10% of men have tons of choice and are dating all women, but aren't getting serious with anyone. Why would they when they have so much choice. Back in the day they couldn't get this much interest at the bar. This has led these men to represent all men to most women. These women are increasingly upset at these 10% of men because they wont settle down or are too much of a bad boy. These playboys leave a bad experience for women in general. But the grand confusion is in the shift. If you assume the top 10% of men ultimately settle down with the top 10% of women; more or less. Then there's a 90% confusion rate. Women who aren't top 10%(not everyone can be) who have dated many top 10% men and think they deserve a top 10% but truly dont.
