[quote=Anonymous]I agree with this.  I'm a professional woman but have never had any issue dating "down" (although I don't see it that way.)  When I lived in NYC, which everyone thinks is even worse than DC for dating, I happily dated guys who made $30K or less - a starving artist, a guy who fixed computers, a librarian.  They were good guys and had a lot to offer.  In the end I married a man who has his own small business and makes an OK living but not by NY/DC standards.  I work more regular hours now too and get a smaller wage.  But we make it work financially with 2 little kids.  He's a great dad and very supportive of my career.  We are true equals in our partnership.

I knew people in NY who had lists of things which their "ideal guy" had to have - had to be a high earner, had to be tall, had to be a certain age.  I ignored all that and just looked for a guy who was compatible with me, had similar values and a good work ethic.  Now a lot of my old friends are either still single or married to men who work constantly and are married to their jobs.  Not what I'd choose although extra money would be nice of course!
