[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended a HSYP college and have a professional degree from another top school, so I know lots of people who come from high income families and/or who became high income. My circles at this age (50s) are almost entirely people in the top 15% of income earners. I don't think that any of the men I know, even those younger and older than me, have been drawn to a woman because of her income. They were certainly drawn to women because of their "pedigree" and their access to/comfort with the lifestyle of upper-echelon people. It's always surprised me that they never award brownie points to women earning over $200K. They want women who are cultured, well-read, and who are at ease with powerful and wealthy people. If anything, they seem to be uncomfortable with Boss Babe women whose careers might legitimately be more impressive/well-compensated than their own. I think OP just stumbled upon two oddball men.

That attitude was common in, I would say, mid range to older Millennials and older (Gen X, Boomer etc.) They want a well-educated woman from a good family/family money, similar upbringing, but wanted her to have one of those high pedigree but lower earning and more flexible careers that mostly people with money have. Careers in publishing, art, non-profits, ritzy private schools especially preschools. [/quote]
