[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that smart, accomplished women overestimate how much a man will value her education and professional experience.  In fact, I think that men feel threatened by women who are more successful.  It stings when a man at your level prefers a state school sorority bunny.[/quote]

Smart, accomplished women learn early on in life - for me, it was in 8th grade - that you need to look for that true gem of a man who is not only not threatened by an intelligent, successful woman, but who seek that type of woman out.[/quote]

I must be the only smart, accomplished woman who had no dating trouble. I'm a national merit scholar who skipped three grades, became a big law attorney at 22 after getting a master's in chemistry. I have a bunch of other accomplishments. I always had a boyfriend and was married by 28. If anything, my smarts attracted men. Maybe it's that I'm super domestic? Or that I'm foreign (but married an American white guy)? I just never found that most men found my accomplishments unattractive.[/quote]

No, you're not. Lots of women with your CV get married and have kids.  OP just wants something to blame, rather than looking at herself.  Lots of misogynists are out in force (or maybe just one really nasty troll) to reinforce the idea because they hate the idea that women can be more accomplished than they are. [/quote]
