We do not appreciate how fortunate we are.
Excepting China, India and the Middle East where female infanticide is common practice, all Western nations are currently experiencing this.
Girls who are more educated have trouble finding guys who are serious. That’s why most don’t end up in stable, long-term relationships. You can google for more information on this issue. On average, they have it much worse.
I once worked in a place with a lot of highly educated non-Jews. The girls had an extremely difficult time dating anyone relatively normal. Their dating life was filled with ups and downs that B”H we don’t experience. If they were less that genuinely beautiful, they were rarely treated well. The few boys had their pick of girls and no pressure to commit.
On my dates, the worst that ever happened was the guy running a series of red lights. I can’t even discuss their worst dates on YWN CR. I wish I didn’t know about them.
At least I can expect that even if a shidduch doesn’t work out, it won’t be public knowledge among my friends, and I won’t suffer long-term social and emotional fallout. I won’t see the boy again or have to explain myself to anyone other than the shadchan. I also haven’t wasted time, since we make decisions after just a few dates that don’t cover more than a week or two.
We are truly blessed.
