This is true in the same way that beautiful women are just as likely to be intelligent, funny, kind, and successful as less attractive women.

Yes? Why would this be surprising? Who do you think most Ivy League graduates marry? It’s…other Ivy League graduates. Plenty of beautiful women bring their own money and brains to the table.

Yeah but those women are not marrying some poor guy. Even rich women want to marry rich man.

I mean have you just heard now of assortive mating? Yes, wealthy people of both genders marry other wealthy people even if the man is more wealthy than the woman, they don’t marry penniless baristas who dropped out of high school.

Yeah, and this is so misguided.

Most rich men would be FAR better off with a hot, grateful, low maintenance ex-barista that is 15+ years younger. We don’t need an intellectual challenge in a wife. We don’t need someone with her own massive ambitions. I have friends and colleagues and business associates for that. We need someone to care for children, tend the home, work out, and provide sexual gratification. That’s it.

Every time I see this, I wonder if these posters imagine all children are under six years old.
Do you really want a barista telling your son whether or not he should take AP classes or helping him with his college applications?

Or do you imagine that after years of your absence at home, you are suddenly going to become the person your children come to for advice?

Marry the hot barista if that’s who you want to be with, but that marriage comes with it’s own challenges.

Ha. I did almost all the childcare and housework, worked out, had enthusiastic sex 4-5 times a week, and H cheated because I wasn’t intellectually stimulating the way OW was. Literally when I was broken down sobbing he said to me “I can’t talk to you about The Hero’s Journey”.

Funny thing is I am far more educated than both of them. It’s just that I was too busy doing freaking *everything* so that he could pursue his sh!tty art and writing. I didn’t have the time or bandwidth to sit on my phone all night reading “literary critique” and watching indie films the way he did.

I am so sorry, but "I can't talk to you about the hero's journey" is so pathetic it's hilarious. What an absolute loser. I hope you are healing okay.

I think it's more like they imagine that they will have kids with an intelligent ambitious women, divorce her when she gets haggard from taking care of those kids and the household generally plus working full time, marry a hot barista, then have their now-ex help their kids with college.

I think this is why fewer and fewer women are interested in marriage. Except for hot baristas who need the money.

Even if this is the case, it's not generally what happens. Marrying an ex-barista lowers your social standing if you are truly in wealthy circles. Unless maybe its' your second wife.

This is the most DCUM response ever. You think a man should be deeply concerned with college admissions. What about a woman who will spend time with the children loving them, listening to them and not competing with the husband professionally? I do understand why educated men now want an educated woman ($$$$), but I don’t think it’s actually in the best interest of children.

The barista would be young enough to know that most top tier privates have or are phasing out AP. And she would be slinging coffee around her Georgetown, GW, AU class schedule while she proofs to mommy and daddy that does have a work ethic and she can spend summer traveling on their PP. Since she came from a wealthy family and is well traveled, well spoken, and knows how to present for the occasion. So after college if she doesn’t need to work why would she?

Would she also know how to spell and write a grammatically correct sentence? Or is that optional…?

I know quite a few millionaires and billionaires. No one is looking for a barista. They all brag about their smart and accomplished wives. The women are supposed to be aspirational role models and go-getters in their own right. Also, when you have money, your wife isn’t with the kids all day.

That sucks. I’m the vaguely misogynist PP your replied to. Your Xh was the problem. You seem to have the special sauce, you’ll be good.

Thanks. I hope you can see that being “just a barista” and marrying a rich man puts women in a very vulnerable position, and from my observations it rarely works out well for the woman. I was lucky, I worked and was able to rebuild quickly, but I know many women who weren’t. I don’t have any interest in re-marrying or entering a LTR, though. There’s just nothing in it for me, I make my own money and I’m not interested in being cleaning up after a man or taking care of his kids.

It speaks volumes that you see women working as “competing”. That’s not how healthy marriages work, it’s not a competition, it’s a collaboration.
