[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mid 30's single professional guy here (though I'm in NYC - I know I'm not the only one here).  As others stated, we really don't care how "successful" you are at your jobs.  It's not really a negative for me, but might be for other guys.  Most smart guys, though, DO want a smart and educated woman, just not one that uses her job to act superior to others.  A B.A. from a decent school is quite enough - if you have a Harvard JD or MBA that's cool with me - but it doesn't make you more attractive.  Being in good shape, fun, and nice do.[/quote]

Yep.  Once I learned this I found my spouse.  He is happy I'm smart and I think he appreciates the income I bring home a little too much.  That being said, we have a great time together and he's attracted to me.  I love to cook for him, have sex, dress up for him to go out, decorate our home and plan our social life.  I'm sure he appreciates these things a lot more than my career success.  [/quote]

The problem is that I don't really want to fit his idea of "fun and nice." I just want to be me, the hyper driven, educated, ambitious me. Oh well.[/quote]

So find a guy whose idea of fun and nice is the same as yours.  I'm hyper driven, educated, and ambitious, and married.  So are many, many other women in the DC area.  [/quote]

Exactly.  I'm the PP.  Sorry but most men aren't going to ask you out because you're "driven."   Instead, they will be drawn to your personality and your looks.  Not to mention there are sooooo many smart and educated women in DC.   I doubt the men you've been going on dates with have been previously dating women without solid careers or am education.  Your looks and personality are what stand out.  Sorry but if you aren't nice and fun - men won't be interested.  Would you want to date a man that isn't nice and fun?  You prefer a mean man that's a drag?  [/quote]
