When a woman manager or physician or attorney or biologist, etc comes home from a long day at work making mega bucks, she will expect dinner and a clean house.

She can keep on waiting.

I have not encountered many women who would be content in a marriage with somebody who makes less than her.

Currently, there are lots of women professionals. SandyB probably knows a good number. Does anybody see female executives dating sanitation men? She might date a buff construction worker occasionally, but she won't let her friends meet him

What will happen is the excess educated women will die bitter and alone. The less educated men will still be able to find women. Men don't NEED a wife with a professional career as much as they need a woman who will love and respect them

Heaven knows I don't need a woman that doesn't love and respect me. Like I said, I have no interest in a relationship with a woman who has significantly greater career time demands than I do. I don't want an absentee galpal. I think its fine if they want to go their way, I just have no desire to be the man in their life.

Part of the deal of making the big bucks, unless you go your own way (like I did), is extraordinary time demands, difficulty in planning and keeping dates, dealing with the angst because of office politics, etc. I had no desire to do that myself, and I have no desire to deal with the residual angst from a romantic interest that has to navigate all that stuff.

Women like that should just meet men with a similar career, or with men who don't mind the disparity in lifestyles, and leave the rest of us alone.

My best friend is a bicycle mechanic at a local bike shop, and his main squeeze is a Phd, and is the principal of local school.

You are saying 2 different things. If an excess educated woman cannot find a man, then an undereducated man will not find a woman - it is the same equation from different sides.... and that is what women of the future will have to "change".

Currently, men will marry "down", it is not uncommon for a man to marry a less paid woman, a waitress, or whatever, but you rarely find women marrying "down". Since the men of the future will be less educated and less paid, women will either have to adjust/change, or else neither the less educated man or the excess educated woman will find someone.
