[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to an expensive private school that catered to political families and all the men went on to marry equally educated, well-traveled, bilingual women. They aren’t particularly beautiful women but they share the same life experiences and fit in their families. This is a well-studied phenomenon btw, assortative mating is the reason for increasing, permanent gaps in IQ distribution across the population.[/quote]

This is obvious basically everywhere except on DCUM. [/quote]

DCUM is basically the only place I've seen where men push this, "guys like a happy, pretty barista from a trailer park who flatters them over someone nice and similarly educated from a good background" narrative.

Which I find particularly weird in DC, which in my circles is like THE land of assortative mating. Besides IQ, it's also why class mobility is at an all time low. Statistically, no, men are not marrying the baristas and high school educated secretaries no matter how many here crow about it being the law of the land. It doesn't bear out in reality.

When that topic comes up it’s not that men marry baristas. But it’s not that they are getting excited over the law partner or the ceo either. They are marrying women from good backgrounds that have interesting or flexible careers, but don’t bat an eyelid if they quit later to be SAHMs if they are elite men. [/quote]
