Its the jocks that have the women dripping off of them, not the scientists.
Er, a man who is physically attractive and who also is smart, and acheived some kind of outward success like advanced degrees or business acumen, is considered a prime catch.
The women in my example had the same attributes, yet they were rejected for the very same reasons a man would be considered desireable. A doctor or lawyer is still considered my many mothers as the ultimate son in law, so much so that it is a cliche.
The bottom line is, women tend to be attracted to men who achieve because it is considered powerful and masculine.
More than a few men are threatened by intelligent women or women who achieve, feeling that it puts their masculinity at risk.
Maybe you don't realize that this goes on all the time, in both blatant and more subtle ways, because you are a man.
Believe me, no women I have ever spoken to about this has ever failed to tell me a story along the smae lines as the one I related.

Please note that these brainy females attempted to seek partners at a bar rather than places where more intellectual pursuits were going on. Maybe if they went to scientific, historic, or artistic social functions they'd find guys interested in women who are intellectual.
Er, read my post. The bar was popular with young professionals and other students.

Believe it or not you can be very smart and very sexual at the same time.
Oh, brother.
I am so glad that you are here, holmes, otherwise I wouldn't have learned that very smart people can be very sexual.
Thank you
so much.
