The advice may be good advice from a practical perspective and still be a frustrating reminder that the advice is necessary because some men just do not have it together in the self-esteem department and need to feel smarter/richer/more prestigious than their date.
I think the advice is likely to help the writer. I also think it's a crying shame that women should have to minimize their achievements so as not to scare men away. And they do get scared away. When I was in law school, I met plenty of men in clubs who seemed very interested, danced with me, asked for my number, etc., and then vanished into thin air after they asked where I was in school. The word "Harvard" messes with a lot of men's minds. Maybe the smart "advice" would have been for me to lie or refuse to answer the question, but I just wouldn't do it.
