This is a spin off of the marriage thread but me and Jet Jockey made comments that often men won't date women with advanced degrees. I have a masters and have been told by men I intimidate them. My own mother tells me not to appear too smart to men or to mention my degrees.
Well, degrees don't necessarily mean intelligence but a girl that is dumb as bricks is a deal breaker for me. So, yes I would date a girl with advanced degrees.
My GF just received her PhD in Neruoscience and has accepted a position with an Ivy League school. I'm pretty sure she's frequently the smartest person in the room.

As for me, I rarely tell guys about my degrees or my plan for grad school unless they specifically ask. I've found it's been more of a negative than a positive, but since I moved to a more educated area I'm hoping it's not as big of a deal.
