To an extent. I find very educated women (grad school, law school, med school) for the same reason I find very educated men boring: they tend to be very focused on their life path and seem to think that I have a comparable level of interest in their field.

That's one reason many lawyer men and women are routinely rejected. Nobody cares about that crackerjack legal argument they concocted. When it crashes and burns, they never raise it again.

Also graduate school types tend to be fairly liberal/leftist, and it seldom stands up to even casual questioning on my part. I don't find a person who repeats bumper sticker slogans and then stares off into space when I ask a basic follow up question.

And that, invariably in my life, tends to be the kind of mentality I encounter with lawyer types and grad school types. One notable exception is doctors: they just tend to think they are god (which makes them intolerable for all sorts of different reasons). :-)

PS - Few people ever liked the smartest kid in the 6th grade. When that kid grows up, in many cases people still don't like them very much. That's to be expected and encouraged, I think.

I wouldn't dislike her because shes smart, because most would consider me smart too, but it just seems like many educated females are very book smart, but when it comes to other things they are lacking. I like smart women, but for some reason i get the feeling that most educated women are just very hard working, not smart. It's weird, i don't know if its the way it is or i just perceive it this way.
