Among her year co-residents, all the men are married; all the women are single.
And the women aren’t single by choice, but because they don’t have the time or energy to perform the typically “female” (nurturing, supportive, caretaking) role in a relationship.

Yes, I can see that happening. And, I can see many male residents wanting to be married to have someone “take care of the loose ends” at home.

(Also a lot of men are intimidated by a potential spouse who will substantially out-earn them.)

This has been true for a long time. Men don’t like the comments made (often by other men)…and they don’t want to feel that they’re going to be “vetoed” because they’re the lower earner.
I have a female doctor friend who found it VERY difficult to “get dates”. She finally married around age 40, but the marriage was doomed because her H’s co-workers made comments about how he was a “kept man” and such because she earned 4 times what he did.
