[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who will our daughters marry then?[/quote]

No worries, and I say this with all seriousness. Alot of successful, educated women marry “down”. Lots of senior level women at my corporate job have low-achieving husbands, househusbands, SAHD husbands etc. That seems to be the norm among that cohort UNLESS they don’t have kids. In that case, the husband may or may not have a good career like the wife. I can also think of a couple high achieving exec women at work who are single, either via divorce or never married.[/quote]

Get ready - it’s rough out there.  My beautiful Ivy grad daughter is dating a drop out server.  Great guy - I’ve grown to be happy for her because at least he’s kind and thoughtful and not a weirdo or ahole.  He supports himself, has a car and apt (with roommates). She’s young - who knows where life will go.  But many of her friends are in similar situations.  Another friend’s Law school daughter is dating an Uber driver.  Ivys have high percentages of gay men so that adds to the shortages. [/quote]
I think young women are going to have to temper their expectations if they want to get married.  There just aren't enough high achieving men out there compared to women. It's kind of sad, really.[/quote]
