Dating’s new odd couples

On the road from dating to marriage, the white-collar guy used to be the destination, while the blue-collar guy was the fun detour for upwardly mobile women. But, judging by all the female lawyers, professors and marketing execs pairing up with cops, carpenters, and construction workers, hard-working “regular guys” have become the new destination. At its most glamorous, we see this trend expressed in the happy marriage of actress Sandra Bullock and motorcycle man Jesse James.
