I've got something interesting to read if you're in a mood for a break before we get back to all the seriousness...

1) If you weren't single when you arrived, odds are you will be by Thanksgiving.
2) For two years, you will work hard but have a very good time.
...duh!3) Women are scarce and therefore in demand. Men are a plentiful commodity.
like we haven't covered that already in this thread already.. 4) In the dating world at large, an MBA makes a man more appealing, but not a woman.
...interesting new info... 5) Everything—including romance—moves much faster in B-school time.
6) People will warn you not to date someone in your section. You will do it anyway.
7) You will attempt to have a secret relationship, and you will fail.
8) No matter what you think, no matter what people tell you, this is solemn business.
Hahaha..the fourth one is very interesting! not that it will discourage anyone from doing an mba
Obviously it shouldn't.
The example given in the article is based in a small town bar, guys there will certainly get intimidated by an MBA woman. (So much for the coy ones...)
Engage in a reasonably mature group and one'd find a variety of guys there, 'few' of whom will certainly enjoy dating a successful women just for the sake of intelligent and fulfilling company!

Why do you think MBA/Law school would not add value to a girls` dating ... potential (? correct word ? )
I would love to date a successful and independent girl, knowing that she is with me because she likes ME, and not because of the fact that I would guarantee her a financial stability. I am sure many guys think the same way.
I agree with the thoughts but not with the word 'many' ...

That's my personal view as well. However, many men find intelligent, qualified women to be intimidating. Also, reflected in some of the comments before, typically, when a man looks for a woman, it's looks that matter the most. When a woman looks for a man, she typically values ability/success as much or equal to looks. Again, this is a stereotypical way of looking at it, and there are many other factors at play.
Looks certainly play great role for kindling the attraction, but what carries a relationship beyond that hookup stage are the 'other factors' you referred to ...
