That was an actual headline in the Domion Post today. The story goes like this:
Callister said the most significant finding of his research was a 10 per cent increase in the past two decades in highly educated women marrying men with fewer qualifications and, in many cases, lower-paid jobs.In many cases women are marrying men with lower paid jobs? They must be truly, truly desperate.
This had happened largely because of a lack of eligible partners of equal educational or economic status, he said.
