Do you though? Even in the clip they mentioned that successful people tend to be around each other and date/marry each other. Lawyers marry doctors, engineers marry COOs, etc. There's a misconception on this forum that rich men are out here marrying peasant girls and librarians like it's 1860. The majority are marrying equally or similarly successful women (financially). Or marrying women from rich families. Sure some rich men marry lower/middle/etc income women but that's not the majority.
People pay attention to too many sensationalized stories. That's why telling working class women they can marry a certain type of man is unrealistic. When you marry a person from the same socioeconomic background there's social code that doesn't need to be explained because they already learned how to navigate, and these women are already in their orbit.

Her accent....she sounds Asian-American.

Almost like a Filipina that's fluent in Tagalog and English. Maybe Korean or some shyt.

Asian broad with a 6'0"+, good looking white boy.

She's probably reasonably attractive but not a dime. May have better options but they're short Asian men or ugly white boys. She has zero interest in the 6'2" Nigerian American doctor because :mjpls:
Let's be real. There's no 6'2" Nigerian American doctor interested in a 40 year old YT or Asian chick

Lol she should have set the rules from early. Although moving in together in less than a year is stupid.

My partners brother is an actor. He met a chick who was a lawyer, they hit it off and got together she got pregnant and they now have a daughter.

Now, this chick was already making ridiculous money. Before she gave birth, she got made partner at her firm late last year so the money is even better.

They brought a very expensive place last year and both are on the mortgage papers.

Their deal is this, between his jobs, he looks after their daughter, maintains the house and just does things that she doesn't have to even think about when she gets home from work.

That's a fair arrangement. He recently just wrapped on a big movie for him, I feel their arrangement works.

Women are fairly new to these high paying roles that put them in the position of being the provider. They need to realize that when you make enough to hold down the finances you can decide what you want out of your partner and it doesn’t need to be money like it does for most other women. fukk what everyone else has to say, decide what you want and stay convicted with that.

She’s on the fence cuz she went after the boy toy with no ambition and now she’s feeling embarrassed talking about and bringing him around her peers. High earning men don’t care about the opinions of others so they wife up the model who can’t earn as long as she checks other boxes. She needs to decide what boxes she wants her man to check, not what others think he should check.
This

If it was a woman no one would bat an eye

The reality is that society is changing

Stay at home husbands ( although still frowned upon mostly) are becoming more and more a thing in society

Ain’t this similar to Jesse Williams where his wife was the breadwinner before he got on greys?

Sort of lol.

Breh started raking in 250k-400k an episode. Then his wife was trying to come after his money, so he left to do so Broadway show for a 60k salary, so his child support payments were lower

:lolbron:

And that’s why we say that women who don’t pursue education and great careers are setting themselves up to be sitting on the outside looking in. The only men telling women education isn’t important are low income or low class dudes.

This x100. It's why I spent so much time clowning this forum and the nonsense from Kevin Samuels. Anyone who has worked in a professional setting, gone to college, or glanced at marriage demographic data knows that successful men gravitate to successful women. The idea that a man doesn't care what you do or if you went to college is nonsense. It's important and it becomes a status issue in those types of circles. Getting up the ladder becomes the game, and the fastest way to do that is with a successful spouse who helps raise your credit limit and helps get you into those social clubs while you send your kids to private school.

I've dated a woman who didn't go to college and worked in retail in her late 20s. And now I'm dating someone who makes a lot of money and is successful. I understand both things happen. But overall the norm is the latter: successful men pursuing successful women. So if you are a woman hell yes you should get as much education and success as you can. And hopefully pursue men in college who are on the same path as you.
