[QUOTE="david, post: 2063212, member: 207029"] For men with degrees, who want marriage and children (“marriage” includes long term relationships with a woman): The men date and sometimes marry, women with degrees of a similar or slightly lower age, in the first 3-5 years after they leave University. However after this period, the single men remaining tend to start dating women younger than them, many of whom do not have degrees and may marry them. The remaining men who then get into their 30’s, often marry women 3-8 years younger than them, the majority of whom do not have degrees. This then means that Tradesmen often marry women who do not have degrees (as normal) and these women are skilled, semi-skilled or unskilled. Unskilled men are then left with fewer women to marry and in some cases this is a good thing, as women face social problems in an increased percentage at this level (e.g. abusive/alcoholic/unemployed husbands) and it reduces the number of “big families” who live off unemployment pay. Of course, men with degrees often opt out of marriage and children altogether. However these men are not included in the above trend. The “casualty” of this trend is a lot of unmarried women with degrees who want marriage and children. However, this is not a problem to society as these women continue working (and occasionally opt to become single mothers). Represent - "However after this period, the single men remaining tend to start dating women younger than them and many of these single women do not have degrees. The men may then marry these women. Yes, I have a degree with honours. "Social strata" is a realism, the fact that you find it offensive is not my problem. Turdman - have you been to jail as well? [/QUOTE]
