I think we've been seeing it in small doses so far. There was always this effect with the top % of men at the bar or club. But now online dating has exaggerated this to previously unknown extremes.

So maybe the effect won't be totally unknown, just a continuation of current trends - like later marriages, less children, and higher divorce rates.

I frequent bars and frankly don't see it in practice ... if a girl wants only top 10% of guys, there is 90% chance she will go home alone. She didn't dress up and spent money for that sad outcome. So most men who approach women, get theirs.
