Because some women think they are deserving of a Kardashian existence -- too much reality television. [/quote]

Unmarried woman here. I make much more than 100K a year, own my home, and have a degree. I'm not at all uncommon in this area.

Why should I marry a guy who makes less than me? Doesn't own a home? And can't provide me a higher standard of living than I can for myself?

Especially considering the childbearing years and work would effectively halve my own income.

I'm genuinely curious.[/quote]

You're still single, so I would guess you're not pretty enough to attract men who earn more than you. So that's a reason you might marry down.[/quote]

NP here. I'm 30 and make $250k+ depending on bonus. Men fall all over me constantly. I think I'll probably pick one when I'm 32-34 yrs or so, but why on earth would I want to rush it? I'm having a ton of fun!

And if I don't get married (unlikely if I ultimately decide I want to), I know I'll be 100% fine by myself. There's really no downside. You don't need to take out your projections and massive insecurities on others. [/quote]
