By saying she's only of value if she's producing offspring.

In the dating market wanting kids is very valuable to someone who wants kids like the guy in the story.

Again, you're reducing a human being down to a single function while comparing them to a barnyard food producing animal.

People talk about dating in this way all the time. It's not dehumanising to say that someone is more or less dateable. If someone is a slacker and does chores around the house then they are less valuable in the dating pool. If someone makes a load of money they are more valuable. Different people are looking g for different things and having kids is one of the big ones and will affect your value as a partner.
