Yeah but I’d bet they’re smart enough not to end a sentence with a preposition.

Or marry well educated men whom they take to the cleaners (or at lest get better child support) in the divorce?

This is why well-educated men marry their equal (in terms of $$$). She may not be an OT10, but an OT7.5 and makes good cash is perfect imo.

Low IQ people make poor decisions.

This is why they are more likely to be poor, fat, uneducated, and commit crime.

This isn't hard to understand.

From what I've seen, that rarely happens. Of course I do live in Louisiana

I guess I was really thinking more in terms of people who start their relationships in college then marry shortly after graduation.

I've also seen a lot of highly paid professional men married to well educated lower paid women (i.e. teachers). Though, honestly, I also usually see those marriages lasting or at least ending in a more amicable manner.

Check that grammar snobbishness smartypants.......

Grammar snobs love to tell anyone who will listen: You should NEVER end a sentence with a preposition! Luckily for those poor, persecuted prepositions, that just isn’t true. Here are a few preposition guidelines:

Don’t end a sentence with a preposition
1 In formal writing

Which journal was your article published in? (Casual)
In which journal was your article published? (Formal)

It’s not an error to end a sentence with a preposition, but it is a little less formal. In emails, text messages, and notes to friends, it’s perfectly fine. But if you’re writing a research paper or submitting a business proposal and you want to sound very formal, avoid ending sentences with prepositions.

2 If something is missing

He walked down the street at a brisk pace, with his waistcoat buttoned against the cold and a jaunty top hat perched atop.

The preposition atop is missing an object all together. Let’s try that again:

He walked down the street at a brisk pace, with his waistcoat buttoned against the cold and a jaunty top hat perched atop his stately head.

It’s ok to end a sentence with a preposition

1 In informal writing or conversation

To whom should I give a high five?
Who should I give a high five to?

Unless you’re a time traveler from another era, you’ll probably use the second sentence when speaking. Informal language is generally accepted in conversation and will likely allow your conversation to flow more smoothly since your friends won’t be distracted by your perfectly precise sentence construction.

2 If the preposition is part of an informal phrase

Five excited puppies are almost too many to put up with.

Also correct:

A good plate of spaghetti should not be so hard to come by.

Both ‘put up with’ and ‘hard to come by’ are commonly accepted informal phrases, and it’s OK to end sentences with them. Note, however, that you should avoid these phrases in formal writing.

Less educated probably stems from shitty and likely divorced parents so they had no model of marriage or parenthood upon which to base their life.

Plus daddy issues turned them into skanks.

Lack of confidence in a quality man staying with them. Deep down they know something is undesirable about them and they'd rather go with someone they are more confident will stick around.

Men seem more likely to date women at their socioeconomic level or just slightly lower, and women seem more likely to date someone much lower.

Cognitive ability matters more than salary. We typically associate salary with intellectual ability but it’s not a perfect correlation. High-IQ people tend to pair, marry, and reproduce creating high-IQ children.

And, as society progresses, the gap between the intellectual elite and the lower classes widens. It’s an interesting phenomenon.

Apparently getting in and out of the hole ain’t the problem.

All kidding aside, you make a good point.
