But when is the last time you heard of a super-model dating a hard working construction worker?

I'm not a super-model, but am built like many of them and not only did I date a hardworking construction worker - I married him.

Many of my acquaintances snickered about it as I worked in a suit and tie world. None of them are still with the same person 15 years later like I am..........

Ah, but the exceptions make the rule. You were wise, and chose based upon the right characteristics; but as a whole, you are in the extreme minority; and I think we both know this.

Congratulations on 15.

It has been said (and not by me) that the following statement is true:

A man will date/marry the most attractive woman his income can attract; and a woman will date/marry the most powerful/wealthiest man her looks will attract.

From casual observations, that statement holds a lot of water. Not necessarily in every case (assuming this statement does not apply to you), but it seems to be true more often than it is false.
