I have a Ph.D. When I was in my twenties and guys heard I was working on it, I did indeed see some literally back off.

All of the women I teach with who have doctorates are married too but we all got married in our late twenties. We have often discussed whether it takes some men until their late twenties or older to not be scared off by women with a string of degrees. It always makes for interesting conversations!
