Yes. Princess Diana had no degree and was a preschool teacher . But she came from a noble family so she was an acceptable wife.
Hallie Biden doesn’t have a bachelor’s degree, but she is from a wealthy family so the Biden’s approved.
And if you are a doctor or a lawyer but came from a trailer park, it’s not like immediately you are going to be accepted into these social circles with wide arms.
I’ve seen some of these new professionals with some atrocious table manners.
Find me a young MD who grew up on a trailer park. There are probably less than 100 nationwide.
The median parental hhi of medical students is only $75k, so I think there’s lots.

And?
Times have changed, my friend. Nobody cares about that stuff.
Table manners? Presenting well? You are naive if you don’t think that matters professionally or in the marriage market. Regardless of America’s claims to meritocracy, changing class is surprisingly difficult. Continue being in denial.

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.
This is obvious basically everywhere except on DCUM.
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.
I can't think of any professional I know who married someone who didn't have at least a college degree. Back before women started attending college in large numbers, it was common for, say, a lawyer to marry a secretary. That hasn't really been a thing for several generations now.
It's bizarre that anyone would claim that a significant number of men are looking to marry someone with a significantly lower level of education and socio-economic status.
