Re: Are you career oriented/professional girls willing to marry down?
I can only answer from a British guy’s perspective. Girls are outperforming boys in education here - one of the main reasons for this is that decades ago, when the trend was reversed, government bought about sweeping reforms to the education system to improve girls performance, such as the introduction of soft sissy subjects, which were given equal merit and weighting to the traditional subjects that boys excelled in as well introducing coursework elements and structuring exams heavily weighted with open ended questions. Now that girls are outperforming boys, no government is tackling this issue with the same level of urgency as they attacked the issue of decades prior of female under-performance.
This nakhra of not marrying a guy who is less educated etc. is partly why there is a muslim spinster crisis here in the uk. Guys just go back home to bring a biwi (becasue they can’t be asked to deal with brit paki girls and their nakhra) whilst girls of a similar age aren’t prepared to import a groom. I know from first hand experience from my phupos who didn’t marry for this specific reason until their mid thirties, when they had to compromise. They had nakhra because of their careers, their doubles masters, their good looks (they can still be easily mistaken for being persian/iranian) etc. In they end they compromised and married bald kalus with pot bellies.
Moral of the story - cut the nakhra out!
