It's no different than men who are frustrated and respond by throwing women under the bus.

Just write them off and pay no mind.

People love to complain about what's out there. That's easier than looking in the mirror and asking if the problem resides with them. What's also true is that many people are afraid to settle. They feel like they're just as deserving as the next person and that if they settle, people will think less of them and worse, someone better may come along and they'll have missed out. Of course, this doesn't stop people from just cheating. But I think some people would rather hold out for Mr. or Mrs. Perfect than come back down to Earth. I don't find it annoying when women complain about their being no good men left. I just roll my eyes when I see them setting the bar a little too high.

Or maybe the other answer, that what you see on TV isn't a real reflection on real life, and is full of women who think they don't really need men, yet constantly whine and complain that they can't find that special someone.
Trying to figure out the "why" is how the drama continues.

I think men and women find more to complain about when they settle, when they DON'T hold out for the qualities that really matter to them. I think the mindset of lowering expectations can be just as detrimental as it can be unreasonable, for some people.
