I am looking for a man as successful or more successful than I am. I don’t think anyone wants to admit it, but when you’re on the verge of a successful career, you want a man who’s a success himself. It seems elitist, but it’s true. I can’t see myself having a husband who’s a gas station attendant—or even someone with less education and professional prestige than I have… I want a man who will be a good provider for my future offspring. It’s the feeling of protection you get from someone who has more power. Women are attracted to that even if they have plenty of money to support themselves. — [name withheld]
I don’t like hearing women in high positions or from privileged backgrounds say they wouldn’t marry men beneath them. I go into a fury when I hear that. Now if you were dating an uneducated man and he wasn’t an intellectual equal, then of course you wouldn’t marry him because you wouldn’t have anything in common. But that’s different from saying you wouldn’t marry someone because they didn’t have a certain elite status or didn’t make enough money. Women who say things like that are just status-seekers… I can marry a man I earn more money than when he is great in other qualities like attractiveness, intelligence, self-management, hardworking, supportive, and faithful. You might be surprised that his support during our courtship contributed to my financial success. I really don’t like the phrase “marrying down.” — [name withheld]
