[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a difference between men and women:

A highly-educated, successful woman is usually not interested in a man who is less educated and doesn't have a great career.

A highly-educated, successful man is much less likely to expect his partner to have a near-equal, or above, level of attainment. Men just aren't wired to have expectations of "success" from women. [b]A physically unattractive woman with an MBA from Harvard is less interesting to a man than a cutie who works at Starbucks. [/b]

Most ivy educated, successful guys are going to want a women whose looks and personality are commensurate with what he regards as his level of success.

OP, if you insist on an ivy educated man, you are probably going to have to look for a man who is older and just wants a companion.[/quote]

Yep - And given the job market that cutie at Starbucks more and more often is college educated and/or interesting so it isn't like we are comparing HBS alum vs. high school dropout. The last starbucks hottie I dated was college educated and was a fantastic companion at galleries, film festivals, and museums given her knowledge and background. That made her way more interesting than a battle-axe that can do DCF or other valuation analyses, read financial statements, do swot/4 p's/5 forces/growth-share matrix consulting BS, etc.

It is sexier to be able to talk about Modigliani than Michael Porter.

The other starbucks barista i've been with was in a ski town - ultra fun and down to earth woman that was a bit older but dropped out of college and ski-ed/boarded whenever she wasn't working. Once again - much cooler and interesting and NOT a dullard.

resume-elite women, if they want to be less 'frustrated' need to expand their dating pool as much as resume-elite men - you would think book-smart women would understand markets and supply/demand intuitively. [/quote]
