[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 meet this same criteria and lived this exact life and my ex decided to have mid-life crisis and run off with his affair. We had a $1 million house and two helpers for driving, free vacations, fun friends, healthy kids and healthy spouses. Men just have issues mid life I've decided.[/quote]
