Much of this seems so true. Most of us dated around trying to find the "perfect" guy but almost all of us were in honors/high level academic programs. I remember talking with one my best buds and asked him what the deal was. He flat out told us one day that a lot of the guys we liked were too intimidated by smart women. We sort of laughed it off, but that always stuck with a few of us.

It's interesting to note that those of us in our group who are married have picked really smart brainy men as well. I'm married to a music instructor who also studied respiratory therapy, my best friend is married to a guy who is one of the top librarians in our city and also teaches at one of the colleges, one is married to a computer programmer, and the last is an incredible writer. The ones that aren't married tend to hang out with brainy men.
