I don't understand..
Relationships have always been like this. Women rarely marry down the ladder. They tend to marry up or near the same social level. Men are more common to marry down.
If you have a real problem with this, blame biology or our programming or something. But this doesn't deserve a 14 page thread. But sure, that woman you mentioned does seem high-maintenance. And woe be to the man who marries her, if she ever does.
