[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ambitious, rich guys now want to end up with their coworkers, not their secretaries.  Go to an elite grad school, get a high paying job yourself, land a colleague.  Then when your career schedules are too much with kids you can slide back into the cushy role you want.[/quote]

+1. [/quote]

Another +1, from the kind of guy you want to attract (but happily married).  While a few marry hot secretaries, the senior executives at my firm making $$$ mostly marry mid-level executives.  I totally get it; these are gorgeous, fit, incredibly bright, driven women.  What's not to like.

Maybe other men want insipid wives, but the men I know with similar educational backgrounds and career trajectories like smart, ambitious women.  It can make for conflict in home life, but there is undeniable chemistry.[/quote]

Most of the people I know in the C-suite are married to homemakers. Indeed, a female CEO of a F500 I formerly worked for fits this bill. I don't believe they explicitly set out to marry stay at home partners. In fact, I think it's the opposite:  being married to a SAH partner really frees up the working spouse to be all in at work and get ahead of the pack over the years. [/quote]

They may be homemakers now but I bet most of them worked high powered jobs beforehand.  Smart, ambitious people want their spouse to be smart and ambitious as well.  CEOs expect their stay-at-home spouses to run the house like a COO (and provide good genes to their progeny).  Best way to marry a smart, educated, ambitious man is to be a smart, educated ambitious woman.[/quote]

No, this is not true in many, many cases. Men believe that as long as she has a degree, and it could be any degree, then she is smart enough to marry. For those that are truly rich, their SAHW are not running things, they might hire the maid, pool person, and nanny but the other stuff is done by him. Especially since many of these men cheat of their wives, they are not stupid enough to leave the "real" decisions in the hands of a scorned woman. [/quote]

We know a surgeon married to a high school graduate and boy is she dumb - she watches Fox News all day and posts angry brainwashed vitriol on FB like its fact nonstop, most of the kids have serious LD’s. Cute kids but not smart. I hope he likes what he signed up for.

I think the stereotype is for a high powered man to marry a smart woman and to coax her into having her career take a backseat to his.
