Subordinate women are a disaster waiting to happen. Easy harassment case.
Business IMO needs to be kept business.

"Brown and Lewis found that males, but not females, were most strongly attracted to subordinate partners for high-investment activities such as marriage and dating."Well no kidding. So you went to graduate school and spent tens of thousands of dollars to learn that little nugget? What sort of male actually seeks out somebody that they know for sure will make every decision a challenge, every conversation a debate, and every single part of their miserable existence contested?
Putting two leaders into the same relationship is a quick ticket to a personal hell.
I'm sure glad we had these experts to warn us ahead of time.

Does this mean that the gene pool of "powerful women" will one day be depleted due to a lack of compliant men?

So men don't want to marry a "liberated" femi-nazi? Wow, that's news to me. My hats off to Captain Obvious over at the University of Michigan for filling us in on this one.

Extremely attractive women TYPICALLY do not go to college and pursue a degree. These women know that they can trade on their looks, and often do. Thus, when these women enter the job market, they will enter as a subordinate.
So, GENERALLY speaking; a man has a choice of a mega-babe he works with and is a subordinate; or a reasonably attractive (or unattractive) woman who is his peer. Do the math....
This is MY personal observations, your mileage and experiences may vary. I'm sure that there are fantastically beautiful, highly educated model-like sexys superstars in the workforce ... I just don't see them.

Their use of undergraduates, most of whom have never worked in businesses, makes me question their method. However, I'm not surprised by the results.

I can't help but think of Jack Nicholson's character from a few good men (Col Jessup). In particular, his comment praising high ranking women (so he could get a BJ from a superior officer).

"Brown and Lewis found that males, but not females, were most strongly attracted to subordinate partners for high-investment activities such as marriage and dating."
So the study found men prefer a subordinate partner, and that women prefer a dominant partner. That seems to all balance out OK, doesn't it.
To: beavus
Did they factor out that subordinates are probably prettier and younger?
Didn't think so...

Does anyone notice that this study is from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, that liberal haven that spawned the SDS, and has been for decades a Berkeley wannabe?

note the problem with this "study".
the trait that men wish to avoid is pushy, bossy women. It is an inaccurate description to say that the desirable women are "sublordinate". It is this kind of definitional skewing that makes this study fairly useless.
There are other psychic conotations to the word "subordinate" which the "testers" and "designers" of this study and the reporting on it, wish to convey and those meanings are other than the meanings strictly entailed in their original use of the term "subordinate" ---simply that a person is not your boss or colleague at work.
This is why thsess kinds of studies are so pernicious.

"Given that female infidelity is a severe reproductive threat to males only when investment is high, a preference for subordinate partners may provide adaptive benefits to males in the context of only long-term, investing relationships---not one-night stands." Sooo.... Men fear infidelity in long-term relationships, therefore, they tend to prefer subordinate women. The same subordinate women that other men find attractive. Because women with lots of men attracted to them are less likely to be unfaithful. Sure, makes sense to me.
