As the number of highly educated women has increased in recent decades, the chances of "marrying up" have increased significantly for men and decreased for women, according to a new study led by a University of Kansas sociologist.
"The pattern of marriage and its economic consequences have changed over time," said lead author ChangHwan Kim, associate professor of sociology. "Now women are more likely to get married to a less-educated man. What is the consequence of this?"
Kim's co-authored the study with Arthur Sakamoto of Texas A&M University, and the journal Demography recently published their findings. They examined gender-specific changes in the total financial return to education among people of prime working ages, 35 to 44 years old, using U.S. Census data from 1990 and 2000 and the 2009-2011 American Community Survey.
Your dreams of finding a Sugar Momma may finally come true.

According to genital blood flow (ie, arousal) studies, there's, within the error margin, no such thing as "heterosexual woman". There's a small but non-negligible group of strictly-lesbian women (who also have certain other mental characteristics typical of men), but the vast majority are aroused by images of attractive members of both genders, usually with a slightly stronger reaction to women.
This is the true rather than self-reported preference; most women choose to have sex exclusively with men due to religious and social pressure, and the desire to have children. But since arousal is there, this is a choice.
This goes in stark contrast to men, most of whom are strictly heterosexual.

Hah, yeah, that second group is me. I can appreciate a well-built man, but in the same way as a well-build skyscraper or statue. Really wondering what my brain looks like now, LOL.
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...
