[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]@00:13, this is why I mentioned I'm not looking to be a SAHM:

[quote][b]Well . . . for starters, I think the guys would smell you from a mile away. [/quote]

I'm not trying to be a trophy wife! :)[/b] But I really appreciate this insider's perspective on HLS. I'm actually amazed because I know people at BU Law and a lot of long-term relationships formed there. I guess HLS kids just gun harder?

And yes, I went to an LAC that is not in the northeast and have a white-collar job in a field that I like. So I'm definitely not a street bum trying to screw my way into a good marriage.

I'm 27 so this is pretty much the average "Settling Down" period for women.

Shame that these men are all in hook-up mode![/quote]

OP you are totally missing the boat on this piece of feedback.  Regardless of your own perspective on what you're looking for, you clearly have a vision of what it means to find a Harvard husband and you are pursuing it.  THAT is what others will smell from a mile away.  It doesn't matter that you have your own job.  What matters is, you have this attachment to a Harvard-grad hubby, and most people will have no respect for that.  I have an ex who is a Harvard law and Yale undergrad grad.  I'm also an Ivy League grad, but actually my ex ended up marrying a great woman who never went Ivy League.  The thing is, when he met her, she couldn't have cared less about his "credentials".  She cared about HIM.  That you don't know that people can smell the difference pretty much guarantees that, while you will probably succeed in finding SOME Harvard grad who will marry you, you're destined to be miserable.  Because no matter what you *think* having a Harvard hubby will get you, it will never ever ever give you whatever you truly need if your priorities are like this.

This is not a flame, it is a heartfelt post.  I truly hope for you that when you least expect it, some awesome security guard or teacher sweeps you off your feet and you end up happier than you ever imagined you could be.  Because in the end, isn't it about being truly happy?[/quote]
