I don’t know exactly what to make of this. Any thoughts?
If it were representative (it probably isn’t - but it might be worth it to try and do one that is), it suggests that the theory that (typical) women are highly interested in the *status* of their partners, and want a partner of equal or higher status to themselves.
This could cause weird side effects if it’s true at the large scale. For instance, if women don’t want to marry a man that earns much less than they do, but are perfectly fine marrying a man that earns a lot more, then the logical thing for straight men to do is to work more hours in paid employment. (This happens to be what straight men actually do.)
