It would be interesting to see how people's reactions towards you would change given you'd win 10 mil. € one night. Would people really be so vain as to start noticing and accepting you more? I mean, this is the regular scenario in a movie, but I have a really hard time imagining this in a day-to-day situation.

I'm sorry, are you confusing me with FuzzQi, or did you think I go around laughing at my own jokes?

This is a surprise to people? Why would you not want to be financially sound? I'm not all that fussed about marrying a rich woman but I certainly wouldn't complain if my future wife made a good living.
Also, I think I'd rather have a wife that works, rather than a full time housewife. I just don't get the attraction there.
I guess what's surprising is that it's getting more common for women to do it. The report claims that the number of women marrying men with higher standard of education has doubled since the 1940s, but also says the pay gap has fallen from 30% to 10% today. So what... a lot more women are "marrying up", but there's less financial incentive for them to do it?
How many more men have a higher education compared to before though?
Statistics can be misleading if you don't look at the whole picture. Cancer is a classic example. There's an increase in cancer over the past 50 years but people are living longer so it partially explains that.
Not sure that's relevant because I think it's a significantly higher standard of education than the woman. It's not like only men are going through higher education.
Women actually are graduating college more than men these days anyway. So it will get harder and harder for them to find a guy with better education than theirs.
