For some women, success has a price
IN an episode of Sex and the City, Miranda goes speed-dating, only to discover that her law career is a turn-off to the guys. When she says she's a flight attendant, however, suddenly she becomes an object of their fantasies.
This story is just fiction, but a recent survey suggests that its premise might be on target.
Ray Fisman, a Columbia University economics professor, conducted a two-year study on Americans' dating preferences. He ran a speed-dating experiment at a local bar near campus.
"[Men] preferred women whom they rated as smarter, but only up to a point," Fisman told the New York Times. "It turns out that men avoided women whom they perceived to be smarter than themselves. The same held true for measures of career ambition: A woman could be ambitious, just not more ambitious than the man considering her for a date."
