This exact dynamic happens in Pride and Prejudice (none of the Bennett sisters want Mr. Collins even though marrying him is the only way to save their home; multiple Bennett sisters almost ruin themselves for broke Mr. Wickham). It’s cross-cultural.

What’s interesting is the way this century-old passage demonstrates the way in which a woman will quite literally ruin herself and her prospects for a man to whom she is particularly attracted, and also disdain a man who is not only capable of providing well for her, but is eager to do so.
