Sure thing. What do you think?

Baloney ... that’s a pretty enough face ... if the person and personality animating it is also pretty.
What a dumb-ass.
I don’t. Her attitude is the source of her problem. She should stop the excuses and start being a woman that men would like to be with. If that’s what she wants. And I don’t mean she has to act stupid. OTOH, she should give up on the Wymyns Studies crap. Men can smell that crap a mile away, and don’t want to come home to it at night.
I am the club advisor to the (unofficial) UCSB Gun Club, so I meet 40+ college students a year. I can tell you that if a young lady wanted to meet eligible young men and impress them with their compatibility in interests and hobbies (since the brains/career thing is already proven equal by their attendance at a level 1 research university) she could do worse than join a college gun club. There are PLENTY of fine young men who come to our events, and a young lady with her head screwed on right could TAKE HER PICK. I’ve seen it happen more than once.
Maybe instead of hanging around Harvard she should go down Mass Ave. and meet some guys who (in contrast to Harvard) have some actual intellect and are hardly likely to be intimidated by hers. There’s plenty of guys at MIT who are looking for a smart girl. Or does she find their intellect intimidating?
Sure thing. What do you think?
Is Ms. Petri a dish? ;-P

Beware of what grows in that sort of dish ...
I take it you did not take Biology?
But why are you looking for men at a place like Harvard??? Remember the immortal words of Roy Blount: “Studying literature at Harvard is like learning about women at the Mayo Clinic.” There's a message somewhere in there about finding men at Harvard and learning about literature at the Mayo Clinic or something like that.
Exactly, and thusly her comment about the Harvard men being uninterested, why should they bother?
I’m lookin’ for a pool boy-— are you available?
(granted, it’s a kiddie pool, but I can find other things to occupy your time ;) )
Having dated a Hardvark, mind set has everything to do with their plight.
Many think they they are *much* smarter than everyone else. (news flash for you hardvarks - you don’t have a monopoly on smarts, but you might on snobby attitude)
It is this attitude that keeps them out of relationships. I think this conclusion is also supported by the article.
In fairness - there are also many fine people who happen to be smart at Harvard. The good ones generally don’t define themselves by their connection to Harvard.
Well, there's the problem, right there. She doesn't understand guys.
The thing is, guys don't have a problem with smart women -- the smarter the better, IMO -- as long as the women in question aren't more concerned with being "smart" than with being a human being in company with other humans. Guys want to be around women who are enjoyable to be around.
My wife is very smart -- but she doesn't define herself by "smart." She's a joy to be around because, among her many virtues, her intelligence makes her interesting and funny (and she gets my jokes). She can keep up with anybody.
We're friends with another family, OTOH, the woman of which is "smart," and all she wants to do is have "smart" discussions. She gets her teeth into a topic, and simply will not let it go -- if you want to talk to her, you have to talk about her subject of the moment. She's difficult to be around.
I suspect Ms. Petri is one of the latter sort -- she's got her subjects, and she won't let them go. And so guys avoid her.
Advice for Ms. Petri: lighten up, sweetheart. Your intelligence will be treasured if you make it part of a package. It's a burden if "intelligence" is the only thing you bring to the table.
Why? No one else is snobbishly complaining that they can’t get a date.
My picture is posted on my profile page.
Well, everyone in college has a Facebook page - certainly every undergrad at Harvard.
And if you don't put the fact that you're in a relationship on your Facebook page, it is essentially taken to mean that you are single and looking.
Someone who is in a relationship that they actually take seriously would not fail, on Facebook, to mention that a relationship exists.
Especially since the person you are in a relationship with most likely has full access to Facebook too.
< howls with derisive laughter>
Harvard has an ROTC building now?
In my day, we had to cross the river and go to BU for pretty much everything. (I was at MIT.)
That said, I suggest she maybe shave AND maybe stop being such a damn insecure witch.
Men don’t want to marry idiot bimbos, but they don’t want to marry a woman who thinks she has to act like a man (but talks incesantly like a woman).
LOL.
Or what you stir it with.
