[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our very sexist society, women are still selling looks and fertility on the marriage market. Men are selling their ability to be a provider and to succeed at a career. At 30-35, women are hitting the end of their fertility and their looks are (just a little) starting to slide. Men are just starting to hit their top earning years.  Women rule the dating world from 15-30.  Men rule the dating world from 35 to death. From 30 to 35, power is about even.[/quote]

How is this sexist? Women contribute to this just as much as men. If women dropped the need to find a man who will "put a big rock" on her finger and have a big law job, etc. etc. and instead only evaluated men based on looks these dynamics would change. It's female hypergamy for $$$ and status that create this situation. And don't tell me it's because men hold women down from being capable of making a good living. If we looked at the Meg Whitman's of the world, they rarely marry down. Men win, because men are easier to please. [b]A sunny disposition and a tight ass that looks good in yoga pants is enough for us.[/b] Women need to let go of their obsession with magna cum laude and white collar jobs.[/quote]

That's not true at all.  Men from upper class families usually marry their own.  Men with high educational achievement usually marry similar women. Power couples, not Cinderella stories, are still the norm, because assortative mating. [/quote]
