I have a doctorate in one of the STEM fields. I never lacked romantic attention from men. Even when I was middle aged and attended professional conferences I needed to make it a point that I was a faithful Christian. This immediately established a cordial and **professional** working relationship. Now that I am retired it still occasionally happens that men are overly interested in me.
They are not only too smart, they are also too “hot”, and too humble.
Wow, this lady is confusing smart with pompous. She just is not that smart. Her degree is just not that impressive. Most of the women in my family have graduate degrees from fine colleges, and they can find people to date and marry. My neighborhood surrounds me with women doctors and lawyers who are also wives and mothers.
Reading this lady’s article, I would not like to date her either. She is full of herself. And even if she is nice looking, men do want to actually like their girl friends. Clearly this women is very hard to like. The reality is, most guys won’t trade sex for putting up with a bitch.
Declaring that a college degree today makes one “smart” is a naive statement.
I read all the time that women are now looking for masculine men and can't find them. They got what they wish for - equality with gutless, metro wussie boys. They thought they could have it all, but are now finding out there are few real men left, except for the military (debatable) and first responders.
Live with it, you feminazis. I have no sympathy for you and hope you all die alone. While my Wife is a strong accomplished woman, she prefers me to take charge on important matters and expects me to protect her, which I will to my dying breath. Patsy Shroeder and National Organization of Women (NOW), enjoy the loneliness of your own making. You all screwed up the natural order of men/women relationships. That includes you dumb-ass slutty Girls of Spring Break fame who are now maturing and wondering what happened. Pfft.
Liberals engage in lazy moralizing. To be liberal is to be smart, educated, rational, love, good by their own definition.
She’s saying I’m really liberal, educated, liberated - indoctrinated.
So there aren’t any men good enough for me.
Fine, dear, you won’t find any barring a few feminist men hoping to get laid who will cheerlead your masculinized sexuality until you aren’t pretty anymore. And because of sexually promiscuous women like you, it is harder for everyone else to find a mate to marry.
And a lot of men are now too smart to get married. ;-)
“factory worker turned her down for being too clever”
Maybe he was being nice and told her she was too ‘clever’ instead of calling her ‘manipulative.’
Maybe she’s so smart she doesn’t understand sarcasm and/or nuance.
What man, excluding Pajama Buy, regardless of education would want to date these Social Justice Warrior nags? They will be down your throat if your disagree with them with a lecture on mansplaining.
Ok, I think we are being trolled here. She is not that smart. She must have lots of friends who are in her situation or who are smarter, more accomplished. But she is a media major. So she just wants to get published as widely as possible. I am guessing that while she was swiping left on her Tender account, she decided to pad her resume as well by producing an article so stupid as to get us all to respond. This article will get picked up and reprinted all over. It’s that ridiculous, so it drives us mad.
Lol, right.... Delusional for sure.
These two geniuses didn't have any trouble.
another mean, old, lonely, woman a 22 ...lol
There is a difference between smart and educated. A chimp can be taught to do certain things but that does not imply smart.
Foreign women benefit greatly as do US men.

If “too smart” means tons of classes in women’s studies and psychology, I think I see the problem right there.
They may have the wit, but they do not have the socialization. And this isn’t just a problem for women, but men as well.
Properly, boys and girls need to be raised together in a chaperoned environment, to learn how the other gender functions. It is the ordinary stuff of life: eating, cleaning, doing chores, good times and bad times, all of it has to be done together.
It is questionable if this can adequately happen if it only begins in adulthood. By that time, their social template is likely stuck on “loner” for the rest of their lives.
Adults caught in this situation, might be able to socialize themselves in a proxy relationship, such as subordinate and superior, invalid and helper, etc. But it is doubtful these relationships will socialize as much.
The most amazing thing is that there is still any factory work in the UK.
The reason it sounds insufferably smug is because it is. When women with a Gender Studies degree or some other invented credential think that makes them smarter, better, more valuable, or more important than the men around them, that smugness shows. I wouldn't date them either. I am highly educated, as is my wife, and I have always enjoyed the company of intelligent women - educated or not. What I despise are the people who think a credential matters in terms of who they are.
These women will be lonely for a long time, and rightfully so. If a woman's "high intellect" does not lead her to the right answer on why it's hard to meet someone, then being intelligent (or probably just educated without being smart) is not worth much in their lives. Even an average intellect should be able to find a useful answer to that question.
Leftists claim to like being "empowered". The most empowering idea in my life has been that my problems are my own fault. It would have been easier to decide that all women were at fault when I had not yet found the right one to marry, but I could not possibly have fixed that problem. that conclusion would have led to a lonely life. It's much more satisfying to assume I am at fault whenever something is not working out. If I am responsible for the outcome, I can either change how I act or where I look - a big win for me several decades ago.
