Men are more than wallets and women are more than bodies. Anyone who is looking primarily for that feature and willing to marry up or down to get it deserves what ever nightmare that marriage ends up being.

My family was / is UMC so I had no desire to marry up, I was more than comfortable.

Once you’re known as eye candy the perception is difficult to change (until you age out of it). I much prefer to be with my equal.

I think it's important to make up for social inequities in life. I'll use my beauty as a weapon to help me because my gender has so often been used against me.

It's best to marry an equal who thinks he's marrying up.

No more 'important' than it is for guys.

It was not important to marry up in terms of social status or class. I met DH when we were 22 and he was hot, smart, and kind. He grew up very poor and I’m proud of him for getting to where he is today.

It was pretty low down on my list, but I think part of that is because I was in a good position to find an equal. I didn't really have a desire to "marry up".

Marrying way up is as bad as marrying way down, hard to maintain fair balance.

Curious what people think.
