[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended a HSYP college and have a professional degree from another top school, so I know lots of people who come from high income families and/or who became high income. My circles at this age (50s) are almost entirely people in the top 15% of income earners. I don't think that any of the men I know, even those younger and older than me, have been drawn to a woman because of her income. They were certainly drawn to women because of their "pedigree" and their access to/comfort with the lifestyle of upper-echelon people. It's always surprised me that they never award brownie points to women earning over $200K. They want women who are cultured, well-read, and who are at ease with powerful and wealthy people. If anything, they seem to be uncomfortable with Boss Babe women whose careers might legitimately be more impressive/well-compensated than their own. I think OP just stumbled upon two oddball men.

Are you the same poster who always posts something like this. How “high value men” (gag) care about pedigree? [/quote]

I’m not that PP but - yes - they do care. “Associative mating” is a thing. People come from the same cities/suburbs, attend one of a few very $$$ private schools or boarding schools, attend the same colleges (their parents and grandparents went there as well!), the same grad schools in the same fields, and eventually marry someone in this exact same circle. [b]The days of the rich big time law partner marrying a pretty but lower social class secretary or waitress are long gone. [/b][/quote]

I agree with associative mating but disagree with the bold. Plenty of high income men are happy to marry teachers, nurses, lower level office workers, etc. and plenty are still happy for those women to be SAHMs. Now, they still have to meet in the first place, which is where a bit of the associative mating comes in. I come from a very blue collar background but I'm smart and I met my DH at a state flagship college. He grew up UMC and then went to law school after college. I'm attractive and have a good personality, but I didn't go to a fancy K-12 school or belong to a country club, was not well-traveled and didn't have any upper class hobbies. In fact had student loans. [/quote]
