I conducted an interview to a 22 year old female. The question to the interview was: whether her experience with relationships fit the pattern of homogamy -- dating someone of of similar/same education, race, and social class -- and why we tend to see the pattern of homogamy in society. According to my interviewee and according to her dating experience, she has followed the pattern of homogamy. All her boyfriends have been either from the same school, or college where they have mutual classes, also speaking of race, since she's Armenian, all her boyfriends have been Armenian as well because apparently their culture encourages the people to marry to their own race, and most of the time they share the same social class. My interviewee thinks that the reason why people follow the homogamy pattern is because it's more convenient to them and the society's expectations.
