Except you forgot the role the looks of the woman has to do with it.
Men may be fine with someone not a threat to them in education and income, but by gosh, when it comes to looks, the non-model types, of which there are many, pay.

Its simple. Men value youth and beauty while women value status and resources. Yes, I'm aware these are generalizations and don't hold for every person. They are nevertheless, generally accurate. I wouldn't feel the least bit "threatened" by a woman who earned more than I did. It really wouldn't be a major consideration for me at all. I'd be fine if the woman earned less than I do too. Like most men, it just isn't a major consideration for me.
My ex and the girlfriends I had before her were not model types but they were my type.
Men don't feel threatened by women with more education or income than they have.
They feel at most a sense of foreboding, because they know that such women are, statistically, far more likely to subsequently file for divorce.

Mr. Kevin Samuels frequently pointed out that a majority of Black women are either obese or morbidly obese. Black men? Not so much.
Men are visual creatures. Nature made us that way!
