When I described the grass-eater phenomenon to my Dad, he said that if he hadn't gone to college in a STEM major, he'd have been drafted to fight in Korea. I don't think that sort of motivation would work today for several reasons.
In those days, girls didn't put out unless you married them, you had to have a job to marry them, and employers didn't hire draft-dodgers. Today there's no correlation between a man's employability and his sex appeal -- if anything, there's a negative correlation.
New failcomment system also fails to publish my comments, it's not limited to yours. Keep trying, it will usually work, eventually. Blogger deliberately trying to kill itself, I expect. Captchas should be off. If it gives you one anyway, it's against my explicit instructions.
