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.

Also makeup, piercings and tattoos. If you get past photoshopped "supermodel" weirdness the glossy press tries to push, it turns out that most women in child-bearable age are actually attractive, after you exclude those with self-inflicted ugliness.
Yes, abnormal weight (both body-positive and body-negative) is self-inflicted. So is slobbiness, makeup, etc.

Makeup, piercings, and tattoos can be forgiven if they are attractive enough. Fat not so much. And if someone is fat once, they are likely to stay that way or relapse.
