Finally, here comes scientific evidence.

From Science Daily:

Whether a young man’s mother earned a college degree and whether she worked outside the home while he was growing up seems to have an effect years later when he considers his ideal wife, according to a study by University of Iowa sociologist Christine Whelan.

High-achieving men — those who earn salaries in the top 10 percent for their age and/or have a graduate degree — are highly likely to marry a woman whose education level mirrors their mom’s.

Could this explain why the wife and the mother-in-law never see eye-to-eye, because they are too the same? You tell me, I don’t have a MIL! Ha ha ha. And I think I will never have one. ;-)

Okay, I guess that much has been given all along. Only that there are still too many men in the world who get more blinded by a woman’s pair of legs instead of her brain and personality.

It would be interesting though, to see what eventually happened to those guys who married a pair of legs. Well, as a friend of mine always say: such guys only get that, a pair of legs!

Hmmm…it’s nice to know that men are now learning that brain+personality definitely trump a va-va-boom body. :-P
