Overqualified for love??
| Mon, 10-22-2007 - 4:43pm |
Since I've been thinking of applying to PhD programs, this sort of thing has piqued my interest...it's sad that many women feel becoming further educated might hinder their ability to meet men, while if a man has a PhD or MBA or MD or whatever, it automatically makes him more appealing.

Well I can cook, too, so double trouble, haha. :)
It's a funny feeling for me....I'm usually the type not to let them see me sweat/cry/whatever. For some reason (relative anonymity, I'm sure), I tend to air my insecurities here. The thing is I like myself, I like myself a lot and I really don't want to change...so it frustrates me that I worry about what other people (namely guys) think about me.
We'll see about the PhD...art is something I love, but I'm in the fortunate and unfortunate position of having very varied interests, though most of them aren't particularly career-friendly (again, cooking, but cooking every night at such a rapid pace would drive me nuts...writing, wine, art, sports, etc.). Either teaching, auction houses, or arts publishing seem the most interesting to me.
There is no such thing as being too smart for love! That special man will love all of you as you are! You don't

I've been thinking about this thread for a couple of days now.
Right, if someone's arrogant and thinks they "deserve" more because of a title, I can understand why they'd have a hard time or be intimidating.
I don't care about degrees.
I have a Masters. I used to say I would date only guys who had college degrees, but since I went to a women's college, the male pool was R-E-A-L-L-Y shallow.
I've expanded my horizons, and Mr. Pooh is one of the most intelligent people I know. He only finished HS, as did many of our friends. But he reads a lot and stays current and has common sense. I've met college educated people who don't do that.
Some of my favorite boards:
The Single Life, Signature Making for Beginners, Life in Our 30s, Make Him Moan, & Job Seekers' Support Group
Who needs that kind of guy anyway? I'd like to think that most guys would want a woman who isn't a clinging barnacle, and I know that its never a good idea to be dependant on someone else for identity or support.
I'm currently pursuing my Master's as well, and while I'm a little older than some (29) I know I have to do this for myself,
