[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I’ve noticed the exact same trend. I was in a historically black organization and hung out with women of another one. The prettiest girls, who always had men falling all over them, were invited to all the formals etc, are still single in our early 40s. The more average (but still cute) girls went on to get married and have several kids each. All these women have great careers and they tended to marry men who were similarly career minded.

[b]I think the critical difference is that the prettiest girls always thought a new guy was around the corner.[/b] So there was no incentive to learn from mistakes or become a better partner. I think there was also a bit less incentive to invest in career on the unspoken assumption that they would simply marry into money.  The more average looking girls just couldn’t take as flippant/entitled an attitude, which is why I think they learned from mistakes, became good partners, were more thoughtful about dating earlier, and now have families.

Watching this trend unfold has been eye opening for sure. [/quote]

That is a super interesting point.[/quote]
