[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both my parents are Harvard MBAs from the late 70s and both were very successful. I once asked my mom if what attracted her to dad was his potential she said, no he was really cute and fun. They’ve been very happily married 45 years. [/quote]

That’s nice and all, but it is likely your mother had the privilege of choice- a female Harvard graduate in the 70s likely came from a stable, solvent  home and wasn’t desperate to upgrade her lifestyle.[/quote]

NP. Not only that, but a female Harvard MBA student in the 1970s had her choice among her cohort of male students, at least those not yet married. All of them were bound to be successful, so she had the luxury of having "cute" and "fun" as additional criteria. Well done, regardless.[/quote]
Do you really think she'd have her choice though? I'd actually think that most of the men were not looking for a fellow MBA spouse with that kind of ambition in the 70s.[/quote]

NP. yes, I think she had her choice. this was before online dating. she was there, around them, in their classes. my ok looking cousin went to business school in the 90s and it was the best dating scene of her life.

so saying "my mom didn't marry for money!" i mean...she married a Harvard MBA. Pretty clear the guy was gonna be at least somewhat successful.[/quote]
