[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These threads are so stupid. It's impossible to accurately summarize the preferences of half the population (i.e. men). Most of the men I know are married to successful professionals, and I genuinely can't imagine most of them dating a nanny or similar seriously. Their serious relationships have all been with women they viewed as intellectual peers. On the other hand, lots of men don't care about their partner's professional success or earning potential. People are all over the map.[/quote]

You’ve assumed someone’s job title implies a lot about their intelligence overall. I wouldn’t bet on that. I know lots of idiots with multiple degrees. It’s quite possible someone works whatever job for a host of reasons that might not be obvious. In any event, men find all sorts of women attractive. But I’m pretty sure job title ranks lower on the list than many other attributes. [/quote]

Obviously it's not 100% predictive, but all else being equal it's more likely that someone at a bulge bracket IB shop or in Biglaw will be brighter and better educated than someone who is a nanny or other unskilled labor. The former jobs are a lot more selective, for one thing. And some men do care about professional success when choosing a long-term partner. Others don't. My point is that it's ridiculous to try to generalise about what "men" want.[/quote]
 
You’re insane. The same accurate generalization has been stated on here multiple times, and some women keep pushing back: “no men really want this ...”. It’s simple, and you’re ignoring it.[/quote]

? Did you read what I wrote? How is it insane to say men want different things and you can't generalize?[b] I know my husband, for example, would not have considered dating someone who worked as a nanny as anything othet than a college or grad school side [/b]hustle. He is ambitious and professionally successful and interested in someone who was the same. Most of the men i know under 40 are like this. I don't assume I can extrapolate from my experience to all men, though. [/quote]

Sure he wouldnt. That is something men say to make women feel their career makes them attractive. [/quote]
