[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think men do not really look for anything more than good looks, especially at the get-go when it comes to meeting people.

Uh women specifically.
(Sorry.)

As long as a woman is attractive, fit, a great cook/housekeeper as well as an excellent Mother, w/a great sense of humor and has her own interests in life.
Those attributes mean so much more to many guys vs. how much money they generate.

A successful lawyer, physician or entrepreneur, etc. would marry a Nanny/Teacher/Nurse as long as she was physically attractive to him.
Bonus points if she is great in bed & enjoys frequent sex.[/quote]

This is outdated. People assortive date now. Especially lawyers and doctors. [/quote]

It’s amazing how so many people continue to ignore this. [/quote]

Lol like the towns this lady wants to move to (CC MD or the like) aren’t chock full of sahms?![/quote]

SAHMs with Ivy degrees (where they met their spouses) or former big law, medicine, finance who left to raise their kids. These husbands want smart accomplished wives who will pass on smart genes and raise their kids well. No one marries the secretary anymore. [/quote]

You don’t have “smart genes” just because Mummy and Daddy could afford to send you to nice schools. [/quote]

If you are anywhere near being familiar with admission process of these schools, you would have known that money are just a good "extra" and not a guarantee of admission. They have hundreds of applicants from all over the world and a few are accepted. And even if you are not intelligent, after years in a private school you will have a huge educational advantage vs your peers in public schools.

My son recently came from a summer camp where he lived in tents with other kids of different background. Wilson HS kids is all about drugs, girls and partying vs a DC private school HS student who is all about college admissions, grades and future career paths. He literally felt that they spoke in 2 different languages: he's trilingual besides being far more eloquent in English. He is 2 years ahead in math vs public schools AP math level. Even their English is different: they don't know words like "abysmal". Nobody played chess or ever traveled anywhere outside the US. It was a eye opening experience for my child how privileged he truly is.

So now guess why top tier colleges still accept higher percentage of grads from my son's school vs DC public schools

I think this should just be pinned to the front page of DCUM forever!!!!! :mrgreen:  :lol: [/quote]

What was his other observation is that  there is no such educational gap with European schools. They had couple kids from France and Spain (from bilingual families). These kids go to public schools in their countries, are fluent in English and about same level in disciplines, sports and socially as my son in DC private.

US still has this huge educational gap between public schools: even the best public are way behind private, and thus this highly selective "casts" society when kids grow up. Everyone marries someone from a similar background: nobody wants relatives who use drugs.[/quote]

So you went to public school, correct? Because surely a graduate of an elite private school would correctly use the term “caste” not “casts.”  If you’re going to be an education snob, you’ve got to be word-perfect in all of your communication, PP.[/quote]
