Smart Moms - Was Dating Hard When You Were Younger?

I dunno, my older sister and I are considered quite bright. I never had trouble having male friends and dates from middle school on, I had more males interested in me than I cared about. I never had to adjust my ambitions and my BFs and now H were not intimidated by me being articulate and ambitious. My sister also has never had any shortage of male interest nor dates. She got the masters in special ed as she intended and married the guy she wanted. She was happy to stop out to raise her kids and then tutor.

It probably depends. My niece is very bright and also an attorney. She married an attorney and opted to switch from a crazy high powered job to a govt job after she started a family, vacunase the stress level, hours and benefits made for s better work/life balance. Her H went from working for a firm to working on his own for a better balance and more satisfaction.

I could go on but think the point is the pool may be smaller but lots of folks seem to navigate pretty well anyway.
