My brother, who is 22, has commented to me that the girls that he hangs around with don't seem to complain much about any perceived lack of quality men. Does anyone have any insight as to why?
Probably because most girls in his age group are still playing the field and aren't looking very hard for marriage material yet. There's a lot of mediocre guys out there who will do for short-term flings and all that, but when it's time to get serious the pool of viable candidates narrows considerably.
Also, ladies are more likely to complain among themselves about the lack of quality men than they are to the men themselves, unless he's one of those "friend-zone" guys who gets to listen to about how all those other men suck while he stands there screaming internally "duh, I'm right in front of you!"
Many younger women don't care about finding a 'quality man'. This is not all of them, mind you, but the common, simple young and attractive woman nowadays wants to 'have fun' and try the dating carousel.
It's only after 35-40 some of these women decide to look for a so-called 'good man'--and in many cases there's really no love whatsoever, she just needs some help with the discarded offspring of all the guys she mingled with while young and carefree.

In my experience, women don't really get into a habit of discussing their dating issues with men unless that man is a really good friend she can trust not to make an advance on her.

What a charmer! - I bet you've got 'em lined up....
I think there are a number of topics that the majority of women will only discuss with their female friends/sisters/etc. These topics are very unlikely to be brought up if a man is present, even if that guy is a good friend with a good head on his shoulders. In many cases there's no hard feelings and no animosity towards the guy. It's just that other women are far more likely to be understanding, relatable and just "get it".
The subject in the OP is likely one of those topics. OP, it's probably best that your brother just not worry about it.
(The same holds true for many men talking about certain things only with their male buddies.)

What makes someone a "quality" man? Who confers this title on a guy? USDA? FDA? Or is there a QMA? Should I keep asking questions? Should I stop? That's seven, so feeling lucky I'll cease.
