The answer it... MOST women. Because MOST people in the USA marry into their greater socio-economic group. |
| I married my husband when he made 5 figures. We were both just graduated from law school and just starting out our careers. He now makes mid 6 figures. |
| Two partners married each making $60,000 is a damn good life in 90% of the US. |
Why are you specifying men (versus women)? |
| I come from a little community in the US where the average HHI is a mere $50,000 in 2022. A lot of people I know there are married. |
| Low self esteem? Or maybe the low income man is better looking and more charismatic than the higher earning woman. Or maybe they met in high school/college/early twenties before anyone made decent money. |
| OP posted this to feel superior to the masses. |
Women who earn more and doesn’t need a sugar daddy, women who earn less and doesn’t have choice, women who fall in love. |
| My Yale Law grad nephew just started working with an NGO for $51K. His GF is an year older, already working with a big law firm and making $250K with large bonus and great benefits, they are marrying next month. She has her own money, could care less about his income. |
Report back to us in five to ten years when they have a couple of young demanding kids that she carried, birthed and nursed all while managing a grueling big law career that she had to keep up with to support the family. |
Not judging. Just trying to understand the mindset of those types of women. |
Ask your servants. |
| OP has a 6 figure income and still can’t get laid. |
I'm a high level exec and my husband is a teacher. Our kids are in college. What do you want to know? |
| by definition, half of all women marry men at or below the median. That's kind of how distributions work, genius |
