Picking based on economics is underrated in our society. We often pick based on love/attraction. We can see how well that's working out.
People self-select based on socioeconomic class. The Harvard grad with the professional job isn't going to pick the convenience store clerk who barely graduated high school.

Depends on the sexes. If the Harvard grad is a man and the convenience store clerk is a very attractive woman I'd say chance are high he would, but most certainly not vice versa.
Past behavior is usually a good indicator of future behavior.
Well said.
I think there chances are unlikely a man (or woman) would change in regards to being an abusive partner or engaging in abusive behavior. This below is very clichéd but has a ring of truth:
You cannot change others. You can only change yourself.
Rarely. But women stay because they've been brainwashed/threatened and many end up dead once they do leave. Best to avoid the relationship at the first red flag.
Such negative responses. Some of them remind me of all the male bashing chicks at the Lilith festival. (It was so scary there)
And I've seen tons and tons of bad boy turns good situations.
It's not a case of a "bad boy"---- unless your referring to a naughty 8 year old , a defiant 12 year old or even a rebellious 16 yr old. Not what this is about....
It's not a matter of "male bashing"--- give me a break--this threads subject is men who are domestic violence offenders--- that is what is "negative"- a lot of people regard domestic violence as a negative, not here to "bash" men in general

True enough. But the convenience store clerk whose life is a mess financially and otherwise is different from the convenience store clerk who has his/her act together.
