It would not be a problem for a male executive to marry a woman working part-time at a café.
Would a female executive marry a male who works part-time at a café?
- thisjepisje 11y agoIANAFE, but sure, why not?
- smil 11y agoHave you seen it happen? Heard about it happen? Read about it happening?
- michaelt 11y agoNo, but I could only name about two female senior executives and I have no idea about their marital status.
- smil 11y agoSo, in your experience, it doesn't happen a lot, right? I mean, since you've never, ever heard of it happening.
- beachstartup 11y agoquit dancing around your point. the answer is no, it is exceedingly rare, because women marry up socioeconomically. no matter how successful a woman is, her preference is to marry someone equally or more successful. people tend to provide extreme counter-examples to argue against this, but in the vast majority of cases, it's true.
- tveita 11y agoThis obviously depends on culture, but I think the majority of men and women marry a partner with the same socioeconomical status as themselves. The highly-visible counter-examples tend to come from fields with high gender imbalance, like your stereotypical doctor-nurse or boss-secretary matchups. I think it's reasonable to posit that this effect would be weak or non-existent in an equal society.
