Rainbow Dash is a competent go getter who has already made her way in the world. Pretty much the driving point of the episode is Zephyr Breeze's desire to have a place in the world, and his overwhelming fear of possibly being a failure. By marrying Rainbow Dash, Zephyr Breeze would have access to a stable income, and stability, without having to make any necessary risks. In a nutshell, she is everything Zephyr wants to be from a status, social, and personality perspective.

By playing off his infatuation for Rainbow Dash, pretending she is obsessed with him, he effectively anticipates failure, and so when rejected, can play it off without hurting his own self image.

It's pretty dark when you think about it, but at least the episode has a happy ending.
