A bit weird that the article stated “good men” but every example was about a rich man…

      Not really. The cultural standard is that the man will generally marry at their class or lower while women will marry at their class or higher. So you have women who are successful and therefore should have a husband at that success level but are finding there are few men at that level for them. There is also a lot of competition because men at that equivalent economic success have one of the most open set of choices as to who they can partner with according to traditional gender norms.
