[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. Did your husband grow up in a higher socio economic household than yours? As a child of immigrants, were you attracted to people who were more "established" in the "mainstream American society"?[/quote]

Actually what I'm really curious about is the SES of the Asian woman-white guy couples. Does one more often than not come from a better SES background? Is there a typical SES background guy among the white guys that are attracted to Korean women? Working class white guys, highly educated elite white guys, what not. [/quote]

OP here.  I guess, yes.  DH comes from a middle class background (middle class America, not middle class DCUM which apparently is clearing a half-million a year).  I guess I am from a working class background.

I am not sure if I were attracted per se, even though I ended up marrying one.  I have dated men from many different backgrounds.  There were compatibility pros and cons with someone from a similar background but with men from vastly different backgrounds as well.  But, given my parents' background, almost anyone I met would have been more established in the mainstream anyway.

I would assume that most couples would be similar to AW-WM couples.  Probably similar educational background.  SES can be all over the place.  If we took a poll of all DCUM couples I bet there would be tracking with education, but more random for SES.  That has been my observation.

However, generally speaking, men DO come from the same or higher SES than the women.  I don't have a citation for this, but I feel this is true across the board.  Exceptions, yes, but I think it would trend toward the man having higher SES anyway regardless of race.[/quote]
