Querist (US)
As a college professor, I have had the opportunity to meet several incredibly lovely, intelligent, and charming Chinese women who are all "leftover." The majority of the ones I've met (keep in mind - skewed sample because I'm working in universities) were highly educated, which seems to frighten men in general. It's not just a Chinese thing - Western men seem to be afraid of highly educated women too, especially if the woman is more educated than the man.
