> Yoga instructor is missing. That's pretty much the ideal wife (lots of free time, unreasonably fit) I see why you made a throwaway account to make this comment, but am surprised you haven't been downvoted into oblivion. Does HN really need it to be pointed out how sexist this comment is?
How is this sexist? He's just expressing his preferences (which BTW seem pretty universal - who would want to be in a relationship with someone who's unhealthy and has no time?!).

EDIT: Nevermind, some commenters further downthread pointed out that the visualization was adjusted to always show same sex lines. For me it was some of these jobs not having heterosexual lines in both directions. "Electrical Power-Line Installers and Repairers", "Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters", and "Welding, Soldering, and Brazing Workers" don't have any female -> male lines at all if I'm readi…
> the visualization was adjusted to always show same sex lines. We went back and forth on this a lot. Just showing the top relationships by number would result in omitting all same sex relationships, which didn't seem right. Their inclusion seems to have caused lots of confusion though - maybe it should have been called out more prominently than in the methodology. Even better would have been to have a toggle to show…
I guess I should stop using Tinder/OkCupid, and start going to teacher meetings

Funny you bring this up. I was on a date last Thursday and this girl (29 yrs old) was constantly trying to figure out how she was better than me....IN EVERY FACET OF LIFE. For example, she went on and on about how she is a badass since she went to the Amazon forests to a nice touristy shack with a guide and a bar. She told stories of hammocks, mosquito nets, snakes, insects and other wild stuff. After a long time, sh…
> girl (29 yrs old) > I'm 27 Besides you can afford to keep dating for another 5-10 years, she has to settle soon due to fertility window. Pickiness is the bane of latest generations...

I used CoffeeMeetsBagel. Nearly every women I'm matched up either has a Masters, PhD, Law Degree, or Med Degree. Too bad none of my statistical positives (wealth in real estate, part ownership of a successful startup) show up in my profile. Wouldn't be surprised if they balked at my lowly Bachelor's degree. I say this as a person who met a woman who said she basically doesn't date anyone who has anything less than a…
> I say this as a person who met a woman who said she basically doesn't date anyone who has anything less than a Master's degree. At first, I thought that is petty. However, such bluntness is helpful to you; you get to very quickly (i.e. never date) select against a potentially improper partner. Supposing you have a Bachelor's, would you want to date a woman who only dated men with a Bachelor's degree or higher? My f…
Sure, why not? I only have a BS and it's probably the case that my wife (PhD neurobiologist) would have only dated someone with a college degree. Someone else's particular preferences aren't much of a concern to me, provided I meet them.

Why as a queer woman? How's that relevant?
She means it's also good news for her...
Could have just stated its good for lesbians too (and included like me), and been done with it, and come off as less hostile.

This is one of the interesting connections on the chart. My theory (being an ex-welder as well as a dancer) is that both of these are strongly one-gender dominated professions - almost all my welding friends were male and almost all my dancing friends were female (in three different states no less). And for the majority of marriages up to this point in largely heterosexual historical data, you don't meet many people…
So how are software developers supposed to meet women?

Feale air-traffic controllers have a thing for female announcers. Guess they're into sexy voices.
With the adjustments in place to highlight same sex couples +relatively unique combinations of professions -- I'd love to see someone speak up with HEY! That's me and my spouse! I wish they had the numbers on those. Actually numbers on all of them would be interesting (raw, % population, % couples, etc).
