A previous thread related to this discussion. > [@Educated achieving women dating](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/educated-achieving-women-dating/1002009): > > Horrible title but hard to summarize the question. Background: the number of college educated and beyond women in their 20s and 30s with pretty high paying jobs is increasing while the number of men with those characteristics is not. Statistically men of lower education level are more likely to be of more traditional values. Women of higher education level more likely to not be. Women generally are more likely to swipe right for a man who has higher income and higher education. But which is pr… Culturally a huge number of straight men are happy partnering with a woman of slightly lower or roughly equal status (income as a major proxy but also education level). Fewer men, especially those of lower status, as as thrilled to be the lower status member of the relationship. The converse is also true. In America today there are more women reaching higher education and often income levels than men. Higher status. Lower status men are intimidated and these women are often less interested in them, often also are of different values and interests. So yes more unpartnered highly educated higher status women often of more liberal values, and more unpartnered less educated less well paid men often of more conservative values. The latter group can be dangerous. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/young-men-and-relationships/1014156)._
