Women marry equally or up and men marry equally or down.


Depends which criteria were are talking about: looks? Intelligence? Salary?

If I'm a lawyer and I marry a ugly fat doctor, did I marry up?

If I marry a hot nurse, did I marry down?

What if I marry someone really pretty and smart, but she makes a low salary at a non-profit?

I'm talking about Status and.wealth. Women marry up for status/security. That's not an opinion, that's social science. Men marry down status-wise for hotness.

No successful woman CEO marries the mail boy. She fricks him, but she doesn't marry him. Whereas none of us are even slightly surprised if a CEO or other powerful man marries some super-hot receptionist. Men marry down status-wise for beauty every day. That's how we are wired. If she touches your pee-pee just right and looks good in her lingerie, game over. Simple creatures we are.

One exception to this is the classic way we did this in my generation-you met a girl, you fell in love, she makes a bet on your potential and hopes her instincts were correct and you reward her by being successful. That's still, imho, the best way. Meet someone in college and go from there and grow up together before all the other stuff above corrupts everything beautiful.
