Women: higher educational degree, harder to gain true love?

guest7348	It was frequently reported that marriage marts were held in many Chinese cities. A noticeable fact is that countless women who attend the marriage marts have higher educational degree. There seems to be a sad rule behind the awkward phenomenon: the higher their educational background is, the harder for them to gain true love. An online poll surveyed among anonymous men on whether they would like to marry women with higher educational backgrounds. A considerable number of participants said they don’t want to marry women with higher educational background than themselves. The reason is that “women with higher educational degress (than men) would somewhat harm men’s self-esteem.” Unluckily, women with higher educational background contribute to a large portion of the “Leftover Women”. What is your opinion? Do you think women with higher educational background are harder to gain true love?

It would be expected that it is normal human behavior for men and women to find partners of at least the same educational background or intelligence. However, in real life there are many men who would prefer a subordinate partner to maintain their perceived superior status, and possibly high achieving ladies are looking for more than the average man. Someone who achieves is usually competitive and needs a partner to compliment their attributes. Put together this places such ladies in a difficult position as finding a suitable partner usually comes before the "falling in love" happens. So yes I would expect that a lady will find it more difficult to find a match than a man with the same qualiications.

If a man is already insecure, no woman will make him secure enough. A man should be confident in himself regardless of his status in life.

A Chinese friend of mine was worried about his daughter at school that she wouldn’t be able to find a good job.
She now has a great job along with and earns a huge salary and works extremely long hours.
He’s now worried that she will not be able to find a husband because of her success.
Generally woman don not marry “down”
I stand to be corrected but my understanding is that a Chinese man would never marry a woman with a higher salary or status than himself.
Therefore being a successful woman in China does have a huge downside.
On the other side of the coin Chinese woman worry that their husband will become too successful and rich which will lead to them having at least one GF.
