for richer or poorer
A recent poll of 66,000 men in the UK has found that the
ideal female is 133 pounds, has blue eyes, long blond hair and doesn't earn too much. (That rules ScarJo out, notes
Telegraph.) In fact, UKDating.com says that 54% of males would not date anyone who earns more than £25,000 a year. Interesting, since an
Elle/MSNBC survey
showed that only 12% of men would be resentful of a wife who out-earned them. Unfortunately, the
pay gap means that
women get paid 16% less than men for the
same work on average, according to a new report from the International Trade Union Confederation. That's worldwide: In some countries (China, Japan, South Korea) it's as high as 33% less; in Europe it's around 14% less.
