Let's do the math on this one. She's mid-thirties, physician making upper range of 6 figures. That means she's a specialist. Most specialty training (as opposed to primary care), requires 4-7 years of post-med school training. let's call it 5.

You might assume that the average med student finishes med school by 26. That's only if they go straight through after college, which is increasingly uncommon. A lot of people spend several years in research, or other stuff before they finally get in. The average age of a med school matriculant is 24-25. Let's assume 24.

So, start med school at 24. Finish at 28. Finish a 5 year residency at 33. She's in her mid-thirties. You do the math. She's been practicing at best for a couple of years. Here's what I suspect happened: she bought the feminist bullshit that somehow being a wage slave working for some anonymous boss's profits was more empowering than being a wife taking care of your family. She knew residency would suck, but it's temporary, and then she'd be a glorious attending, making gobs of money, being the top of the food chain thanks to her expertise, with everyone from patients to hospital admins laying down flower petals at her feet for "saving lives".

And then she got her first job. And realized she's basically a glorified McDonald's worker: working for a "nonprofit" that is just as rapacious as any Fortune 500 company, can be fired at any time, no pension, timed on how fast she moves patients through their 15-minute appointments, her boss is an HR-style chick who majored in English lit, knows nothing about medicine and cares even less about it, her bonus being dependent on whether her surly customers give her a 5-star rating on medicine's equivalent of Yelp (Press-Ganey scores). Oh yeah, and it's not temporary. This is her new life until she keels over and they haul her out of the office.

She spends one year at this feminist paradise (Look how much money your labor is generating for the hospital CEO! So much better than working for a husband and family that loves you. Don't you feel empowered? And spending all day typing into a computer is so much more interesting than raising a child, yes?) and goes screaming for the hills.

Now she wants to be a tradwife. But she has four strikes going against her.

First, she's mid-thirties. If a guy can't depend on her salary anyway, then why not marry a hot mid-twenties nurse instead? What does her being a doctor do for you if her salary can't count?

Second, because of the lifestyle she's been groomed to expect (she hasn't even lived it yet; she's been a student and then a resident. But she got through med school and residency by telling herself it will eventually lead to a jetset, carefree, lux life) she can't become a plumber's wife. She needs someone to give her the life she thought medicine would, except without her having to work like a dog the way she's realizing she'd have to if she stays in the field.

Third, in many ways, that mid-twenties nurse is richer than her: she has much less college debt. This doctor has just finished residency. She probably has at least half a mil in loans -- not even including compounding interest during her residency years -- that her future husband will have to pay off before she can even claim to have a net worth of zero. That poor dude has to take on the equivalent of a second mortgage and higher monthly expenses (for the lifestyle she wants) if he marries this woman instead of a nurse or teacher or, heck, a homeless woman with no teeth who'd be overjoyed just to have dental insurance.

And fourth, and perhaps most important: this woman has gone through 5-6 years of bruising training for a highly competitive specialty, which means she's developed a tough-as-nails ball buster exterior to survive. Almost certainly, she has no idea how to take that off when she's at home (indeed, it's been so long, she might not even remember how she was before starting residency). Which means that is her personality now. Whatever sweet, kind girl she was in high school and college, she's now a person who takes no shit from no one, views the entire world with a cynical, jaundiced eye, and is perpetually tired and burned out and pissed off that all her education can't prevent her from basically being shat on at work every day by people far less "intelligent" than her.

At this point, the only thing she has going for her is the money she brings to the table. Enough that even a guy from a semi-respectable profession (doesn't have to be a plumber; even a professional making $100-200k in something like engineering, or middle management, or law) might overlook everything else if it meant upgrading his lifestyle (and maybe he even stays home and takes care of the kids). And she's taking that off the table.

It's too bad they don't teach logic in med school.

These are great finds, @polishknight !

What strikes me most about these matchmakers, is they're kind of like the female equivalent of MGTOW. They're one of the few groups of women who get a taste of what it's like being a man having to deal with these over-entitled, listicle-carrying harpies. These women are just as demanding, dismissive, harsh, with none of the warmth or empathy that defines even basic human interaction, nevermind a romantic one.

And what's funny is, we men are supposed to pay for the privilege of hearing them list out their demands and carry out a job interview. Meanwhile, these matchmakers are being paid, and they still end up tearing their hair out and quitting. And they wonder why MGTOW is becoming so popular...

blah blah blah

This has got to be the most annoying job for women there is. Your success literally depends on convincing other women to "settle".

I'd love to hear how these convos go in private. "Yeah, I know, he only makes $10k, and I know you said you wanted $680,000 minimum, but take it from me, he looks great and seems like he'll make a great dad!"

Her female clients will only let themselves be convinced if

• She somehow establishes herself as more beautiful and successful with men
• Is brutal with truth bombs (the older matchmakers who don't pull punches)

Most will opt for the former, which means putting forth the appearance of success with men.

Then for the few "eligible" men she finds, she has to be a realtor pawning off a crappy house. "It leaks a bit and needs some TLC, but the location is great! Adjacent to the town dump and Title V passed!"

She's doing that retarded thing...... "All this money that I have that I won't share entitles me to all your money that you will share".

She has a near zero chance of finding a guy right out the gate just from the salary preferences alone.
What she doesn't realize is that the guy who makes at least the same as her is what she needs to maintain her lifestyle.
She doesn't take into account that what he is making now is only enough to maintain his lifestyle.
Which means, in order to maintain hers AND his lifestyles, he's going to have to make at least double what she makes.
She says she makes high 6-figures, so at least $600,000, which means he needs to make at minimum $1.2 million.

There ain't no coochie in this world that's worth $1.2 million, especially if they're just an average-looking woman at best.
She'd have a better chance of finding a politician with cancer and marrying him.

@Typo-MAGAshiv This doesn't qualify for weekday content apparently, but I'm curious: Is it because the matchmaker told the story? Rule 1 does apply since she's looking to have kids with him?

@Vermillion-Rx I'm glad these know it all boss babes are becoming spinsters because they decided to pick a man's career path while maintaining a woman's sexual strategy Good luck with that

@Typo-MAGAshiv Weekend material. Good stuff, though. These matchmakers discussing how demanding and unrealistic their female customers are have become more and more prevalent in recent years, and they never cease to amuse me.

Standard post wall woman pricing herself out of her desired market.

Sadly, I think the only reason the matchmaker realized how contradictory her clients demands were is because she has a job that literally requires her to think about other people's wants and needs in order to be successful in the short and long term.

The average woman however can get through her teens and twenties basically being completely oblivious to any wants or needs outside her own if she's pretty enough or men are desperate enough. And so most end up like her client, being on the wrong side of 30 and failing to grasp that a successful man is not going to accept a woman that is both old and fully intending to be a sandbagger.

She can be young and low earning, or old and high earning, but not both old and low earning while demanding high quality of life at his expense. Too many negatives for nothing positive in return.

These women are expecting an Old Money lifestyle while bringing none of the family trusts, properties, and socioeconomic connections that make it possible much less sustainable.

This is a good find as it shows something we talk about lots from the female perspective.

Hypergamy can't be have your cake cake and eat it. Ladies you want to marry up. It makes perfect sense that you want to be able to have your children, be a good mother and stay at home and not lose your lifestyle but you do have to consider what you offer in return. Self assessed "average looking" boss babe brings what? Well money. What else. Has she been educated to be a good woman and mother? Has she got good genes? Has she got habits that will make her a happy homemaker who will bring joy to her husband?

So basically miss, you are useful at doing what you have trained to do. Stick to the career and buy a cat. You have no education in homemaking but you think you deserve that role? Its like a housewife saying she wants to be a consultant surgeon.

They talk about the value in educating women. I agree but for what? To be men? Ok (though I doubt you will do it as well as most real men) but then don't expect a woman's life. Why don't we educate women to be women?

She is so deluded by her fantasy that she fails to see the basics of home economics. She wants to be a stay at home housewife, with a husband and kids. Yet she also wants the same material standard of living that she has a a high-earning woman. She claims that for that reason, she wants a husband who earns the same as her.

Except that is not enough. He will obviously need to earn way more than her, as his income will be supporting at least two people. So her requirements are even less reasonable than they appear at first. It is essentially not possible. What she wants is akin to winning the lottery.

Realisticially, there are two options for modern women, neither of which she is willing to choose. The first is to become a stay-at-home wife, but accept that you will have less money than before. Cut out the expensive vacations and fancy dinners. This is still doable on a single income and many men would be happy with such an arrangement. Alternatively, you keep working so you can keep your material conditions.

Unfortunately for them, these women are clearly choosing the secret third option: Stay single and hope to one day win the lottery whilst bitterly complaining about men.

As an aside, it bothers me how ready she is to give up her career. She must have studied and worked hard for it, yet apparently she doesn't care for her work at all. Where is the sense of duty to her field, her coworkers, or her patients? A male physician would never be so callous.

Average looking in my opinion.

At least the matchmaker leveled with her, though she could have stopped with the "first bucket." High-earning guys want a women who is "very pretty, very young," and Ms. High Six-Figures doesn't qualify.
