Marrying below your station

[Sunless Sky]

Hey everyone,

I just had a question on my mind lately. You know those movies where a Prince marries a peasant or something? It got me thinking, do people really marry below their station or is that just a Hollywood fantasy?

Some context here, I am actually currently looking for a partner for marriage and was given a list of prospects. In most, if not all, of the entries, the women want to marry someone that is somewhat equal to or greater than their station. Whether that be financials, education, etc...

So that's where my question comes from. I would appreciate any input.

Thank you

Wow, you have a list to choose from? That's impressive.

I have no respect for people thinking they're better than someone else because of their "station", their "class", their "cast", whatever.

You sound like your goal is to get married. Why? I mean, why is that a goal? Why is the marriage so important? I'm not against it, but just having a person in your life that is there for you is the important part isn't it? To sound like "I gotta get myself married" is just silly to me. It's like an objective you have to conquer, whereas just finding someone to connect with and create a bond is natural, then the marriage might happen from there. Am I making myself clear, maybe not?

I would absolutely endorse a male marrying "below" his station.
It is my dream.
What guy would want to hear some female b*tching about her miserable day in "human resources".
You want enthusiastic cooking, cleaning & s*x, young man. We all do. ALL OF US MEN!
So if you have that available to you...go for it!
