The romantic admission would be to deny that practical considerations have anything to do with love; the person's background, his family, his history, his job, his education should have very little to do with whether he (or she, if the case may be) is worthy of your love. If you love him, does it matter if he is a prince or a pauper?
But really, such a question belongs in fairy tales and Hollywood movies. Forgive my cynicism, but the real world is very different. The real world is a practical world where love is always tempered by whether or not he can bring food to the table. Love does not feed the stomach, though it is the food of the heart.
This begs a question: all things else being equal, is it unreasonable for a woman to choose between a few men the best man who is able to best provide for her "practical" needs?
Say she has a choice: 2 good men. Or maybe 3. One is a doctor. Another has a simple degree in languages and literature. Would it really be surprising if she chose the doctor? Of course not. I would too. Wouldn't you?
