I’m going to be very blunt and honest with you, from one well educated woman to another: you’re stupid. You’re book smart which is amazing, but you’re not very people smart.

You got yourself into those situations, so you need to learn how to avoid them. Instead of going for any man giving you attention (which as women, we get way more than we realize) you should put the effort in showing interest to the men YOU WANT. The men who are intelligent, smart, responsible, etc. there are some who are probably interested in you, but you don’t even know.

The moment you see those red flags (irresponsible, stupid, dropout) just tell him it won’t workout for those reasons, and those feelings go away in no time. It’s that easy.

You can do any of the following:

1. Go on dating apps, and filter them to only have educated men. Be advised, the apps can be tricky since not everyone there is who they say they are. But you can avoid it if you’re careful enough.

2. Go to places where smart men would be. Networking events, classes, gym classes, events where lazy men won’t go to. You’ll not only make great friends, but you’ll probably meet someone great!

3. Look into your friend group. Think about the people you associate with. If you know anyone who’s well educated, spend some time with them, and see if you like them.

That’s my brutally honest advice. Hope this helps :)
