You can count the number of people in the class who are dating each other on one hand. However, it is not as if these women are bypassing future doctors to date intelligent or successful from other fields. I'd say about half of their spouses/boyfriends have a four year college degree in a nontechnical field and push pencils in lower management. I'm guessing the other half haven't even finished college and work on road crews, do landscaping, work at rental car counters, etc.

Out of curiosity, do you find this problematic? That is to ask if you find this improper in some way or another. Other than personal edification, the biggest mistake that I myself ever made was higher education. I'm just not cut out for medicine or to be a desk jockey.

Luckily, my wife was cut out for medicine, and after 26 years in her field, commands a very attractive salary. I stayed home with my kids for over 13 years, and now I'm doing work that I truly love: I build bicycles. It's my chance to be an advocate for the sport that I've always loved. I couldn't be luckier.

If it has worked for you, good. However, I'd say that most men do not have (and studies have backed this up) the psychological makeup to be happy/good househusbands. What these women seem to be looking for is just that, which is a curious reversal of the way things are supposed to be for most of us.
