She brings up an interesting point. I'd be curious to see some data on women who date "beneath" them (particularly career wise) in terms of relationship stability. Personally, I know of many women who date men who are not as intelligent or financially successful. However, frankly, the women are (without mincing words) fat, which corroborates the related NYTimes article [0]: "Using longitudinal survey data on married American couples, it found that women can compensate for two additional units of body mass index with one more year of education." The more attractive and successful women I know tend to date equally or more financially successful men (it is difficult to be more intelligent than these women, so it can only be said that the men have very lucrative jobs or come from wealthy families).
