[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems to a low class or middle class issue. When you have the funds you can marry or date whomever with worry of income expectations. Low class problems [/quote]

Ironically though, study after study shows that men of upper class and with money marry women with money and top degrees (i.e., high earning potential).

The men i know who "didn't care" about their future wife's earning potential were all solidly middle class, degree from a mediocre college, but making good money in sales-type jobs - almost scraping into UMC.  They were very concerned about projecting their newfound economic status - but they were never "UMC" in the social class sense.  [/quote]

A 'top degree' could be a law partner married to someone with a masters in education. That's assortive mating, but her income potential is totally different from his. Or she has a PhD in a cool field and a prestigious job, but not much income potential.  I see plenty of those couples. The idea that upper class guys are only marrying the woman with the big MBA or law degree isn't true, and isn't what studies show.[/quote]

+1 Known plenty of big law partners who married low end earners. It’s not alway a high priority for mating. [/quote]
