[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my circle women’s college and profession matters but once married, it’s usually her decision if she wants to work or stay home after kids, men are okay with both choices. Men with high IQ tend to enjoy beauty but they crave intelligence.[/quote]

Man here.

Yeah, I don't really think profession and career are a big issue, but intelligence and education are.  And I think that's different from most women, who do worry about a potential husband's career and generally don't want to date down.  At least, it seemed to be a concern among my wife's friends, who were graduates of prestigious universities.

I think certain part of it is just compatibility.  When people talk about the very well-educated and successful types seeking out like similar types, I think that some of that is because it's difficult to really keep that pace all the time.  Lots of smart people go to Ivy schools and do well enough before opting out of the next series of constant climbing in a corporate/academic/professional world where they train for marathons between their 5:45 wake up and 6:35 call with London.  I think that's especially true in the DC area where plenty of people slide over in to GS role for work/life balance reasons.[/quote]
