...but most guys don't want to be with a woman who's smarter and richer than they are. You can say that again. Try playing Trivial Pursuit with a guy who isn't a bookworm. It's very painful for them. They don't want a woman who's better at their profession, either (which is why I'm looking outside of mine). They also don't want someone who's interests don't fit into a neat little box. When a guy I knew called my interests hi-felutant (sp), not that I was really interested, I wrote him off.

Seriously, You DEFINITELY are really looking in all the wrong places.

The men I meet, think it is grand that I have such varied interests, intellect, that I am successful, I know how to invest, Im involved in conservative politics, that I can handle guns, and can hunt and fish, etc. it turns them on. Most of the men I meet, not only would want a successful woman, but love women whos interests do NOT!!! "fit into a neat little box. "

The only men I know who "don't want a woman who's better at their profession" are the incompetent ones, the ones who are good at their professions, really admire a woman who is also good. So who cares about the insecure and incompetent workers?

The best calf-puller in Loop county Nebraska is a very feminine woman(when she is not calf-pulling), and she is so popular, with the men, because of her skills. I also know some very talented computer professional women, who attract good men like honey. It is such a treat for good men to find women who are competent and knowedgable at many things.

Sounds like maybe you are meeting men/losers in bars? or what? You need to find some intelligent and secure men.

No, computer geek I met work. We had a couple things in common - we're both of the same faith and both baseball fans.

I don't go to bars often. I did get hit on a number of times the last time I went, but...no. Just...no.

I live in St. Louis. (A city that's somewhat been forgotten. And neglected.) I'm a lyric soprano - classically trained (and I sing a lot) - and I like high art. That was the big thing. Around here it's not just men, but a lot of women, too. I mean the grief I get because I won't cut my hair short and actually can name opera singers other than the three tenors....

I'd rather go to the opera or the symphony (although, now that I'm in the chorus...) than go line dancing. It's just not my thing. I belong to the cultural institutions here, which are really world class. I like to go to museums. Jane Austen is my favorite author.

But I still am a baseball and hockey fan. There's nothing like a good hockey fight. I listen to rock in the car (to keep myself from burning out) and jazz when I get the chance. I'd like to travel more often than I can. I don't like beer, but a nice dry white....mmmm.

Sometimes guys just don't understand....
