This thread reminds me of the Princeton alumnae who wrote an article telling girls to spend 75% of their time looking for a husband.

They already revealed to a stranger like you their elite and rich status at an admitted student school visit? Or you have an insightful eye that can see through someone's eliteness and wealth from the first sight?

50% of Harvard grads marry each other. At Princeton it's even higher. There are stats and this is my social circle. (This is from 15 yrs ago)

Eh, new format glitch above so the bold didn't take.

PP (maybe the OP?) said "...otherwise hbs alumnae wouldn’t quit working at higher rates than lower tier b school alumnae."

Give the stats and the source that says "hbs alumnae quit working at higher rates" than alumnae of these "lower tier B schools" and what precisely is determined to be the latter type of school. Reputable source for an actually statistically valid survey, please. Making stuff up doesn't count, nor do statements like "everyone knows this is true!" etc. So: Where did you get this, and why don't you post numbers and their source?

No - otherwise hbs alumnae wouldn’t quit working at higher rates than lower tier b school alumnae

Intelligent men want intelligent wives

If they choose to have careers or not is only part of the package.

Ie going to hbs is the signal , not actually using the hbs degree for the next 20 years

Re: the bold above, source and actual stats, please. The interior of your own cobwebbed brain does not count as a "source."

Actually if you graduated from GW it was he who married up.

And thank god you did after this gibberish response

I bet his family was thrilled he found you

My son goes to a T20. At the end of his first year he started dating a student from a nearby school, not quite in the same class as his.Two years later, still together. My elitist husband is super annoyed, even though he married me, and graduated from an Ivy while I went GW. Go figure.

But dating indiscriminately just because one is in college?? It’s a recipe to become a man whore or a cum bucket.

Good judgement is always required to find a quality spouse.

Do you hold young men to the same standards or are you just a misogynist?

Yup. Young men are held to same standards. Did I not mention man-whores??

OK... did those Harvard women end up marrying guys who went to Big State Universities? I bet they didn't.

Doesn’t dei help women have a greater selection of men with higher T to date at t20 school than they would otherwise?

That’s a positive no?
