Great article. Thank you for including the videos clips. Unfortunately, I hadn't caught this discussion. I agree with you, Keke Palmers logic does seem exaggerated and bit extreme. Its definitely deeper than money/finances. It seems to me that true love doesn't fully exist when both parties are rich/wealthy. It becomes a business decision first and foremost. "Dating down” is about socioeconomic status—a web that includes education, upbringing, values, exposure, and cultural capital. This is so true.. And I believe that women are dating down because we have never been taught to vet men properly based on those aspects. High earning woman have to date down because the majority of male counterparts have yet to reach their balanced alignment level of success or higher. And if not this theory, higher earning women have more control within their lifestyle and how they choose to have relationships due to education, values and money.
Yes what you said about vetting is so true! A lot of women only vet for money and looks, but then are shocked they aren’t compatible with the person when they’re from completely different parts of the world and their life experiences are different. The differences don’t have to cause issues, but they will if someone becomes jealous or resentful or already have negative preconceived notions about them due to their differences in socioeconomic factors. And yea Keke needs to be more realistic, she’s a superstar…if she wants to date down it needs to be someone in her world already.
