[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All things being equal, I think well-educated men with good careers prefer to date/marry well-educated women with good careers. Attractiveness vs. career probably varies by person.

The bigger question isn't who they date/marry, though. It's what they do afterward. I think that for many men their ideal is a well-educated, high-earning woman whose career doesn't require any sacrifices on his part. See the thread about the woman whose spouse forgot to pick up their kid from aftercare because "he had a meeting", nevermind that the woman ended up having to cancel a meeting to rush over there.

DH and I are well-off enough that I can hire help to outsource a lot of household demands, but I've still actively chosen less-demanding roles partially because I know he won't fully step up. I've got enough of a unique skillset that I still make a high income, but I've turned down almost double to avoid our family life falling apart.[/quote]

You are every educated upper middle class career oriented men’s dream women.[/quote]

I’m the PP whose husband actually fully participates in running his own house and raising his own kids bc he’s a good partner who values my career happiness. This made me throw up in my mouth. You need to either make enough money to fully support a comfortable SAHM lifestyle, or f***ing pull your weight in your own house. You expect all the benefits of a highly educated intelligent woman giving up her own career to run your house, but you can’t or won’t pay the real cost of that, so instead you just sit there and happily watch your wife get the worst of both worlds. So gross![/quote]
