[QUOTE="Days of Broken Arrows, post: 1238349, member: 4258"] Regarding hypergamy: It's true in the larger, biological sense. But that doesn't mean every woman acts on it. A went to a semi-rural high school, where most kids came from modest backgrounds but still went to college. I know scads of couples who met in high school and married just after college. Close to 100 percent of them remain married. A lot of the women aged better than the men. But "hypergamy" didn't kick in and push them to leave their husbands. They stayed and from what I see (and hear), most are happy. When considering hypergamy, we have to take into account family backgrounds, etc. Most of these people came from stable, two-parent families. They might not have been super-sophisticated, but they were all decent people. The problem comes when a man wades into a family filled with divorce hell-holes (as I did) and thinks he knows better. Which I clearly didn't. [/QUOTE]
