Re: What about guys' choices?
by TJA
Buggie, I've met ALOT of them. I had a buddy who graduated with a degree in education and had just started teaching math in high school. Going out to bars with him was an education. He would meet lots of women because he was good looking and charming but once they found out what he did their faces locked in a smile and they found a way to exit the conversation quickly. He met several women who taught at his school who told him directly that altough they love teaching, they could NEVER marry a teacher because they need someone who makes enough money to compensate for the fact that they don't make much. Believe me, it is a very real element in the dating world and it weighs heavily on men's minds from an early age.
