Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker notices a reversal between seeking qualities in a partner and developing them oneself. 'Becoming the men' compresses that change into a witty phrase. It can suggest gaining the independence or opportunities once imagined as belonging to an ideal husband, without waiting for marriage.
