| As an American this does not match my experience at all. What profession were those women looking for? |

| Vets, climate change scientists, doctors, environmental lawyers and athletics. Bonus points for trustfunds and influencers. Women want to make as much as men but also want their partner to make more than them. Ever see a female doctor marrying a plumber or construction worker? No they marry Male doctors or lawyer of higher status. |

| ▲ | mghackerlady 11 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Has it ever occurred to you that all those fields have one thing in common? it's empathy. The people in those positions tend to not be the kind to murder you when you say no. Not saying that's true for blue collar men, but the odds are significantly higher. Also doctors and lawyers naturally tend to be around doctors and lawyers, that's hardly the crazy observation you seem to think it is | | |
| ▲ | ipaddr 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Not sure lawyers or climate scientists have more empathy then a middle age man who lives with his mother and cares for her while getting a disability check. But woman prefer the former. The answer is woman value status. Getting murdered is a hollywood / news fear that rarely happens. People should be worried about deadly things that happen often like cancer or heart attacks. Those are rarely the leading story on the nightly news. Programmers are around programmers but the rate they marry another programmer is much less. Even with a gender imbalance women programmers are not seeking male programmers like women doctors. | | | |

| Bartenders, starving artists, musicians, and athletes? |
| |
| ▲ | mghackerlady 11 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | They tend to have personality, which I and most women consider more important than looks or money in my experience | | |
| ▲ | johnnyanmac 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | I don't think most professional athletes are lauded for their "personality". The other 3, sure. Bartenders need to be good at talking to people to succeed, and artists need to be more eccentric (in a different way from nerds) for their own success. |
