There is no indication that the OP is using online dating.
There is no reason to pour cold water on someone's happiness. I think the OP should focus on having fun with his date.
Women don't have it any easier than men in finding good dating partners.
only cause they place high standards on what makes a good dating partner ie good man.

You don't buy a job, you simply get selected.
You get a job because you have the right competence and you can "sell" yourself properly (in some contexts). Some people (myself included) want a job they really enjoy, and don't care a lot about pay or social status, but in those cases it's not a market thing at all. Then it's more like a relationship in that we prioritize the enjoyment over pay and power. However, dating sites are advertised and run much like markets where people sell themselves based on resumes, competence and looks. That's a really dysfunctional way to get into relationships.
for a lot of people and this includes women. it is the same. they base wanting a relationship off of what the other person can bring to the relationship. money, cars, things, etc. its one of the main types of relationships . others being love and more.
