I have your background, can flirt, and am not fat. Not meeting any men that for your criteria. Also I've met and dated a lot of Ivy League assholes. So there's that.

OP, look into this:

I think you are an ass for requiring an Ivy degree and if you wind up alone, it will be your own doing?

She had loads of people in our batch in love with her. So yes it is possible but you need to be confident about yourself and your looks.



In our batch? Where did you go to school, the mid west?


You're the one who is ignorant her (I'm an NP). Outside the US, many Commonwealth countries and sometimes the UK/Europe have a custom of referring to a class as a "batch".

"She was in my batch" etc

I've heard it tons of times. I'm assuming the PP was referring to LBS or something?



Batch. As in batch of cookies, or muffins, or whoopee pies . . .

The insult wasn't necessary, just struck me as an odd phrase. Trying to determine where the PP attended school for the MBA.

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. A physically unattractive woman with an MBA from Harvard is less interesting to a man than a cutie who works at Starbucks.

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.


This is increasingly less true as time goes by. In generally, men no longer "marry down" and women no longer "marry up."

Weight isn't the issue here. It's your elitist egotism.
Intelligence and true wisdom are not measured by Ivy league status. One can even self study and be far more educated than someone from a top ranked school. My SO is a self educated writer that is way more intelligent, interesting and bright than all the"educated" men I've known.

I LOVED this Lifetime Television movie! I watched it with my cats and it made me feel so much better about my life.
