[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outdated in elite schools.  Every one, male or female, is so career oriented.  No one is investing in "finding spouse" seriously.  Most break up at graduation due to jobs in different locations anyway.  [/quote]

BS. Two ivy kids. Both married their significant other from college. This is the highest probability of finding a match that is similar to your kid’s IQ , earning potential and socio-economic environment. They will never again be around that many eligible singles in their lives…..[/quote]
This. One caveat, though: girls will have to initiate with many of the clueless boys. Those that refuse because they want more confident men are the ones who end up single in their mid-30s, watching their now-confident male former peers date whoever they want. Then they will have to “settle” or not have kids, or both, given their age.[/quote]

Accurate. Geeky boy Ivy types do just fine in their 30s. But they also tend to be nicer guys. Get them in college and they will be great husbands. These guys will ultimately do well either way. But for women, things often do not work out.

The popular Ivy type guys with early confidence are the ones who leave their wives in their 30s and 40s for younger women; they are the ones who develop midlife crises and seek the glory days. We have all seen this many times…[/quote]

You guys must be old. You do realize that after college, in whatever area your kids end up working, there will be tons of single men and women worthy of your little geniuses, right? Where do you think people with "your kid’s IQ, earning potential and socio-economic environment" are going after college? And in any case, you do realize that your Ivy schools have successfully broken the snobby mold you are imagining, right? The inlaws you are looking for are scattered among other schools now, and if you don't know where, you don't know.[/quote]
