It's not complicated. We don't pick a wife based on her career. We value looks, personality, and intelligence in the woman sitting in front of us, that we spend our lives with. That's not news! The kids will turn out however they turn out.

But women do pick their husbands based on his career?

Apparently. Career, income, status. There seems to be a lot of keeping up with the Jones among women that I and my buddies didn't do when acquiring wives.

I call bullshit. You never compare your wife's looks to your buddy's wife's looks?

I did not try to get a wife as hot as the next guy's. Nor did my friends try. I found a woman who was cute _enough_ for me. I thought she was pretty and I was proud to have her on my arm, but at the end of the day what other people thought of her was irrelevant.

You are as rare as the woman who doesn't care what her potential husband does for a living.

I don't think so. None of the guys I know ever stated that they were trolling beauty pageants for wives. You meet someone cute enough, who shows up. The first part is easy at 30. The second part is never easy.

Of course, if you're holding out for status and affluence, then you're dealing with guys with an incentive to be players.
