I tend to like the educated type so I picked #1 but I'd put mechanics, electricians, plumbers and the like in category #1. They have a learned skill and tend to be successful.

You're entirely right about that, my sister the doctor married a plumber, and he makes more than she does!

You're not paying attention. I wrote, "assuming they're all good guys." There are bad and good apples in every profession. Stop trying to give brick layers a feel good advantage.

Doctor of what? On average, MDs earn more than plumbers.

No you're not allowed to draw your own conclusions. The poll reads "wealthy businessmen" and that means somewhere in the 2+Million dollars a year income bracket. OK so you would rather marry a mechanic at Jiffy Lube than somebody like Bill Gates or Donald Trump. Not sure I buy that but I have read some strange stories online.

Bill Gates is a good guy, however Donald Trump is a jerk.

If they are all good guys as you have said in your poll. I would have to say the one that I'm attracted too, and treats me good.
