[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- what is it about a Harvard man that you are so fixated on? Just curious. Would a Yalie or Princeton man not make the cut?

Some people are geninely turned on by intelligence. If that's your deal...that's fine but you need to recognize that you are greatly limiting your chances by only looking for a Harvard guy. There are so many incredible places to find amazingly interesting and intelligent people. Or do you want the status of being able to say your bf, fiance or if you are really lucky :( your husband went to Harvard? Just curious.

I only ask because my husband is an Ivy League grad but I only found out after we had been dating about a month or so and frankly it had no bearing on my feelings for him so was just curious.[/quote]

I graduated from an Ivy League school, then backpacked internationally for 6 months.  I met so many brilliant people who never went to college, I seriously wondered if all that money to college wouldn't have been better spent on a 4-year international trip.  While that never would have worked for my parents, I never limited myself to dating college grads.  I date smart, kind, interesting men.  Married a great one, but a beloved ex (1st guy I ever really fell in love with) is now both an Oscar-winning and Emmy-winning artist.  I'm so happy for him!  Saw another ex yesterday at the March on Washington, herd someone call his name to ask for an autograph (he's a successful political strategist, but got there by taking on big bold social problems effectively, not through grad school nepotism).

When I think of all the awesome BFs I would have missed if I'd been so ridiculously narrow-minded as OP, it makes me stop and give thanks for learning early that there are complete stars who never finish school, and many complete assholes who are at the tops of their Ivy League classes.  Degree doesn't tell you diddly about the content of a person's character.[/quote]
