Another idiot! This woman is unmarried and has no children. Just because I don’t answer all the questions here doesn’t mean what you think it means. Let’s face it, some of you guys just don’t like ANY women.

To those who aren’t stupid: Charles Murray wrote a book called “Losing Ground” about the separation/isolation between the wealthy and the middle class. Part of what the problem was, according to Murray, is that men are no longer marrying “down” (ie, the secretary, the receptionist, etc.) but are insisting on marrying someone with the same educational background and profession. You see this to the enth degree in Washington, DC. This has isolated lower middle class and middle-middle class people from highly educated and wealthy people and hampered women’s mobility and her children’s mobility.

This is a fact that is ignored by people who only know history from when they were born. Apparently, for most here, that’s about 2002.

My comment was tounge in cheek, sorry I didn’t make that more obvious to you.

I own/read Losing Ground. He is talking about demographics. A college educated man is more likely nowadays to marry a similar woman. But is that because a man is searching for that? Or because he went to college with them and later works with them more than in 1960? It’s 1960 when he goes back in time to compare to 2010, for those who have no idea about this book. You can’t conclude from his book that men are rejecting women based on their education. I have read articles with the name/theme of where have all the good men gone? And once you dive into the article, it’s college educated women past 30, complaining of the lack of similar educated men. I don’t think most men care that much about his wife’s education.
