see, I kept thinking that as I got older, I'd start being attracted to guys just for brains but it hasn't happened. Maybe I'm just going through a phase post divorce where I don't want something serious...and these sexy but not too brilliant guys just represent fun instead of a real relationship...not sure.

uh, i went to B-school at harvard and i gotta tell you -- there's NOTHING sexy about those men. it's b/c to be that smart you have to be a tool. maybe i'm a tool, too. but i'm cute at least. and i was really young when i went! [ Reply | More

I went to Wellesley & the Harvard B School guys were the worst to date. But at the time, they were the dumbest too. Harvard undergrad & Harvard Law guys were better & nicer (more important). But I liked the MIT guys the best - as friends as well as dates [ Reply | More

OR here and the "EXACTLY" post wasn't from me. I guess the MIT guys I knew were the artsy guys (film dept or in a punk band or other things), or the druggie guys (made their own LSD & speed & had access to nitrous oxide tanks) & even some jock guys. Bu all were really really smart. [ Reply | More

sounds like a fun era. by the time I lived there (around 92/93) I think MIT had lost most of its cool guys from what I could tell. so you were in boston for all the old punk band heyday? must have been fun. [ Reply | More

LOL, talk about a stereotype. Dh went to b-school at Harvard. I visited all the time and all I remember was the many of you women who thought you knew it all and acted like everyone was too good for you. So many great men there if you are willing to lower your ego and actually talk to them. FWIW, there are also many wonderful women there too, I just question whether you are one of them.

don't feel bad--if you're clear with yourself that you're in it for a fling. plus, just because many cops suck as husbands doesn't mean the guy you're dating is going to suck...I guess it's just good to know what you're walking into. [ Reply | More
