Nice article. The closing line reminds me of when we were kids we’d say “First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage.”
Hey lady - Save a baby from abortion. Adopt it. You will experience real Joy in your life.
Hypergamy. Men marry across social status or “sexual capital,” or down. Women marry across, or up (not down).
For a math PhD, pianist and author, there are not many men who can, or are willing too, meet her standard - ESPECIALLY when all of our post-modern society, feminism, and the economic / corporate world is telling her “you don’t need a man or a family to define your self-worth!”
She just needed to go to a few redneck bars and she would have found her dream guy.
No. They found her personality annoying. Calling it "intimidating" is a nice way to cope, though.
We all make our choices, and must live with the results.

There's a video of her there. I think she's cute.

” breaking up with her because she’s too smart and credentialed”
I have never heard any guy say he broke up with a woman because she was “too smart and credentialed”.
I could list a thousand other reasons though....
I wonder if any of those might be a better explanation.
Lol.
Men want women who are fun and low maintenance. She does not seem to be that.
Asians are culturally direct in what they want. They will walk up to you, if they are interested in you and love-bomb you.
Learn to cook and spend the tattoo money on cute outfits instead, practice walking with a book on your head and the lady like way to cross your legs while sitting.
My wife has three bachelors degrees, a masters degree and a PhD. We have been happily married for 46 years have two children( both with graduate degrees) and three wonderful grandkids. We met in graduate school when we were both in our late 20s. I don’t think this woman made very good life choices.
“High-IQ knowledge workers, and the greater number who pretend they are, often treat intellect as if it’s the only measure of worth. That’s preposterous, and plenty of men maintain other top criteria for a spouse, such as kindness, homemaking skills, compatibility, sense of humor, patience, and so on.”
And titties... don’t forget the rack.
Women today are given endless instruction on how to pursue advanced degrees and high powered careers. And they are given zero training on building a family and a home.
And they simply cannot let go of their mistaken belief that a man wants a competitor and a high achiever he doinked other guys till her youth was gone. He isn’t inspired by that photo of her at Machu Pichu alone.
They just refuse to get it.
An x lib gf had an a ortion in college because she wanted to make her high school sweetheart happy because he didnt want a child. Even promised to marry her after they graduated. Every at late 40s she would break down cryi g because she was still not married, and she murdered her child for selfish reasons. She is a therapist and and huge supporter of abortion... total mental nut in hindsight....go figure. Just another leftist trying to heal her wounds, cover-up for murder of her child, by being a radical abortion rights feminist
I met a woman once who was in foster care for years, then finally adopted, when she was in high school. Her adoptive mom was an older, well-to-do woman with horses and time to share and love to give. It was a great blessing for both of them.
This woman in the article could adopt an older child.
Well, Joy. What about the cases where the woman refuses to put out years into the marriage? What then? I know of cases like this.
LOL. It seems the writer has a comparable career path for her industry. I doubt she spends all her time raising children. She is lucky she did find a man when she was child bearing age. Maybe he was attracted to her natural gender and that she is Native American.
How many good guys did she turn down because they weren’t PHDs and/or weren’t high income? Did she actually try to get a man in her 20s or was she focused on her career and put it off til she was in her 30s and they were mostly looking for a younger woman?....CERTAINLY all the ones she might’ve been interested in were looking for a younger woman.
I’m willing to bet these are far more relevant questions than the author of the article asked.
