There were about half a dozen very attractive 26-ish women in my early-80's MBA class. Only one of them ever married and none had children.

When the topic comes up at reunions, they mumble something about "men do not like to compete with their wives".

The guys say that these women worked too many hours to socialize normally and expected Prince Charming to show up at their door and then be subservient to their career. BTW, with all of the money these MBA women made over the years, they look great even today thanks to spas, surgery, $200 haircuts, etc. Their attitude is pretty sour, but they look good!

Now there's a red flag -- women who think that an intelligence differential between spouses causes "competition"...

I also had women in my MBA class with similar results as in your class.

One of the problems with marrying MBA women is that the couple will now have two careers that will pull them in different directions--literally. He gets a job offer in Chicago. He has one in L.A. Now what. :-(

One partner needs to be the dominant breadwinner who will be prepared to subordinate their career if needed. Otherwise the marriage just won't work.

Since the MBA women want to use their skills in the workforce they will tend to discourage a high-powered, high-earner mate. On the other hand they will tend to look down on blue collar types.

I think most MBA students (male and female) recognize that this is just the way it is.

And their looks will be appreciated only by their undertaker. Too bad for them, but that's what you get for living a philosophy based on hatred of the other sex.

It'll be interesting to see what their attitudes are like, when they're all in their 70's and hanging out together at the Old Folks home, or assisted living joint.
