My point is that women almost always date up and sideways, not down. She wants a man who makes as much or more money than her, has as good of, or a better education than her and has as much of, or a higher social status than her.

Oh sure, she'll fuck the carpenter, but she can't bear the embarrassment of introducing her carpenter boyfriend to all her girlfriends, even if he does make more money than her.

I imagine that women with advanced degrees must be the most depressed group of people on the planet.... except the lucky ones who managed to find a man they're not embarrassed to have a relationship with.
