In Sweden highly educated women are marrying down. Just goes to show there's no reason not to break this sort of data analysis up per country and sex, it's not hard to do and will give much more relevant numbers to whomsoever it concerns.

>In Sweden highly educated women are marrying down.

It's certainly happening in Sweden, but it's far from common. An almost universal constant in research of this nature is that women highly value a partner who earns similarly or more than them.

Just a nitpick, but it doesn't matter what you value if you can't find it. Else the data would look quite different, e.g. all incels would be married. So what matters is what women find, not what they value.

Sure does, you just don't marry if you don't find anyone you want to marry. It is that simple.

For example, we can see that even in Sweden women who earn less are more likely to marry and men who earn more are more likely to marry. Women who earn a lot are less likely to find a partner they like as you say.

Do you have a source for this?

I got one: https://theblog.okcupid.com/how-important-college-is-to-mill...

It's the same in germany. It also comes down that people here don't care that much about degrees but value other things more if they have to choose.

Dating and marrying are two hugely different things. Stereotypically, dating unemployed musicians and artists few years before marrying a white collar worker from your own social background is almost a rite of passage.

Sorry, just anecdata from people I know. Perhaps I should not have posted.
