What Women Want: To Marry Up

On graduate women dating blue-collar workers, SMU Associate Professor Norman Li said that the tendency for women to marry "up" has been supported by mate preference research across various cultures and periods. Not only are there social and cultural elements, there are evolutionary underpinnings too. SMU Associate Professor Kirpal Singh commented on the social issues and said his observation was that society was still old-fashioned, especially when it came to social status.
