[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been known for awhile now, especially to those in these circles already. But people on here, seemingly outside the circle, want to delude themselves into some fantasy that the rich successful guy is going to pick the broke barista because she's kind and cute. No, like marries like.[/quote]

Sure, but men are generally way more willing to "date down" than women are -- they tend to care little about professional success (though they might still care about overall pedigree).

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've noticed with group of friends that men now are interested in high income women w/ high earning potential vs being with a traditional idea of a woman who wants to stay home while they earn the money. Many of my physician female friends are in high demand and all engaged or married to other physicians, engineers, lawyers, etc, despite working tons of hours and not being "available". If you think about it, this allows for more resources and a better lifestyle than a single income household. One can easily afford a nanny and housekeeper with these dual income professional salaries while still saving for retirement, college, traveling, paying private school, etc  so this trumps the SAHM/breadwinner paradigm financially. It also protects against the potential swings of the economy. I grew up hearing that men wanted a "hot" wife that was attractive and available with no though to their earning potential. I think this has changed...[/quote]

Lol, I love the rationalizing:  "Men don't really want hot women anymore!  Now what they really value are degrees and my income.  Who needs hot sex when you can say your wife went to Johns Hopkins?!"[/quote]

Nobody's bragging about Hopkins unless they played lacrosse there.   :D [/quote]
