[quote=Anonymous]I am the PP who noticed that most of my professional women friends who stayed on in DC after law school have not gotten married.

I moved to a smaller city and got married and have children.  I am sure this would not have happened for me if I stayed on in DC.

However, if a woman choose to stay in DC, I don't think she should compromise regarding men in one regard - intellegence and education. I would never date anyone without a college degree or good job/career.  I mean, come on, as an intelligent an educated woman, I knew I would get nothing out of dating a non-educated man and/or men with no solid career plans or ambition. I hate the starving artist/lazy type.  A teacher is fine - so I did not need to have a wealthy man.  BUT the honest to god truth is that I am bored out of my mind with less intelligent men (and frankly, this applies to my friendships with women too; I know myself; I gravitate to the other grad school educated mothers rather than the 20-something high school educated mother at my kids' school).  Two of my attorney friends married high school graduates and I really think they are paying for it now..not in terms of wealth  --one guy makes a lot of $; the other one is disabled - but in terms of sheer exasperation.  it is frustrating for them to be with these guys..One can't spell beyond a 5th grade level.  They watch football at day.  These women have nothing in common with them.  they make all the big decisions in their life because their men are not capable.

So what I am saying is - don't compromise on intelligence. [/quote]
