Depends on your definition of "up" and "down". While women may marry somebody less attractive than them, women usually will NOT marry somebody of lower education, social status, or income.
Meanwhile, a professional man will marry a waitress if she is sufficiently eager to please him.
I had a supposed “ good christian woman “ tell me, that MOST women would not accept me because of the “ way I am “ ..... She was talking about my physical handicap and physical deformities.
You know what I told her ? ...... “ your not saying anything to me that I don’t aready know about women “......
Gee ? And just think ? We are constantly indoctrinated by the media that “ women are morally superior than men “.
We hear it from women all the time in the media that ? It’s the MEN who are shallow , superficial, selfish, and immature.
