It seems to me the more interesting questions are not whether "success" reduces women's likelihood of marrying simpliciter, but rather whether there are traits that women who are very successful exhibit which make them less likely to marry ceterus paribus than women who do not exhibit those traits.

"...likely to marry ceterus paribus than women who do not exhibit those traits."

Gee, does knowing Latin make you smarter than someone who doesn't know Latin? Are you in the camp of Teresa Heinz who is of a belief that the more languages you speak, the smarter you are? (Which would make Mrs. Heinz one smart cookie?)

Is English so imprecise and limited that you can't express your thoughts in English? Or are you just trying to telegraph something about your own character traits?

So who is this Ceterus Paribus dood? Is he related to that Russian spy, Regus Patoff?

I think you're on the right track. Keep in mind that their definition of "smart" women are women who have stayed in academia longer getting advanced degrees, and have had more time to get infected by campus feminist dogma

In order to have a successful relationship, there must be some degree of forsaking a little of what you want, in order to make the other person happy. Women who are not willing to do this will lose out to women who are willing

Also keep in mind that a successful man is generally willing to marry a woman who makes less than him and has less education, while the highly educated woman is not. This greatly reduces the number of possible prospects
