Do High-Earning Women Have Higher Standards?
At 1:01:10 · chapter starts 55:34
Chris Williamson cites Vincent Harinam's research showing high-powered career women have an increased — not decreased — preference for high-powered men. Macken Murphy explains the distinction between absolute and relative preferences: rich women want richer men absolutely, but as a relative ranking among all their preferences, resources may decline. The group agrees the cleanest explanation is simply that high-standard people apply high standards everywhere — the same perfectionism that drove their career drives their mate selection. Murphy adds that the Institute for Family Studies data shows the top quintile of women is already slightly dating down economically, but Steve Stewart-Williams reframes this as the 'tall girl problem': there simply aren't enough ultra-high-earning men, so settling is supply-constrained, not preference-driven.
Wealthy women don't abandon hypergamy when they earn more — they develop higher standards across every dimension. They want richer AND hotter AND more involved fathers. The social role theory prediction that female resource preferences would vanish has repeatedly failed.
