That’s a useless metric.
People can be smart without degrees. And people with degrees can be stupid.
No, it isn’t. Your entire comment is telling. I would want to be with someone who highly valued formal education & academic achievement, and would for our future kids.
Most educated women would do the same.

Some men would, others wouldn't. Same way, some women would rather marry a hot guy with no career than an average man with a matching career.

Their relationship is the rule because he married a woman SIXTEEN years younger than him. She is way younger and hot. So her job was a small bonus but call me back when he dates someone with a high profile job and she appropriate.
I mean to say age appropriate
It’s not like she was 18 and he was 34.

My wife is a SAHM and former nonprofit worker so, yeah, literally don’t care. We do just fine with one income.
However I didn’t marry her for hotness. I married her because she’s a great person generally and, as predicted, a great mother.

True but higher percentage of SAHM mom are prettier and get more men willing to marry them as it is, while plain women have to add additional value with degrees, career and income.
Freakonomics has done a number of episodes on female beauty. Bottom lines- working women tend to score higher on attractiveness, which is likely because beauty carries a premium in the workforce (for both men and women).
This doesn't mean that all working women are more beautiful than all SAHMs. Only that, in the studies reviewed by the Freakonomics podcast crew, the data suggested that working women tend to score higher on that scale.
That makes sense if you think about it, bc working women have to dress and groom to please a wider audience.
Yep--and at the top of that scale are likely women in client-facing jobs because their jobs are the ones where beauty carries the biggest premium.
