Rich men tend to marry ambitious women

In many online circles, there’s an idea floating around that ambitious women are less attractive to men. But this turns out to be a myth. IFS Senior Fellow Lyman Stone found that men with higher incomes tend to marry high-income women. This throws water on the idea that rich men, who have more options in the dating pool, tend to pick lower income and less educated women. Instead, men and women partner with their peers in education, income, ambition, and social class broadly.
