Yo, I'm 33 live in Atlanta, MBA, professionally employed, no kids, physically fit, Know how to dress..blah blah blah.
Not saying the above to impress you with my stat line. Just mentioning it so that you can understand.... what type of women that I come into contact with.
It's not your pursuit of education in itself that turns men off. Like you said its your lack of time. Because when I meet women and they say that they are in any grad school program........I kinda take a deep breath to myself and think "wow this broad isn't going to have much time for me. If she is really handling her business...then she shouldn

't have much time for me."
Because unlike WOMEN... Men (myself included) don't really care about how much postgrad education you have. It's not the primary thing we are looking at. As a man that has his stuff together...the primary trait I'm looking for in a LONG TERM MATE is a woman that I can start a family with. Meaning she can cook, take care of the house, and raise up some babies.
So a post-secondary education---really isn't going to assist with the main ojbective above.
It would be like
YOU meeting a man that you were interested in, and he tell you that he is taking classes at night 5 days a week in sewing and interior decorating (gay jokes aside).
You would probably be thinking as a woman "Wow this dude is spending a lot of time...time that he won't have for me...to acheive something...that you don't really expect for a man to do in a relationship".
Like I said as a man that has his stuff together, I care first about the woman's ability to
TAKE CARE OF A HOUSEHOLD while I'm gone at work. I don't expect my wife to be a stay at home mom forever......... but at least have to be secure in her ability to do such if the situation should command. All the other degrees and stuff is just
icing. But too many women are working hard on the icing and forgetting about the cake.
Now Let me edit this response to let you know...how I have seen women in your position make themselves attractive for a man.
1) Workout and be physically Active.
2) Be presentable every time you step out (conservative but sexy) We men are visual creatures so if we see you out...and you aren't "put together" than oh well....lol. I know as a woman its takes time and money. But it is. what it is.
3) Be amongst the quietest chicks in the room.(trust me)
4) Smile and be inviting
5) When you meet a guy that you are "initially" attracted too, let him know that you EMBRACE feminine traits and responsibilities. You don't understand how far this can get you with a decent man. I remember a cute chick (with no kids) that I was interested in. During convo she told me how she had taken her young nieces and nephews for the weekend...and listed all the cool activities that she did with them. I almost fainted...because I was thinking wow this broad values family......and obviously knows what to do with children...if when the time comes.
6) You have to verbally let the man know that regardless of your education or job title... you would value and prioritize being a
wife and mother 1st. ie. Michelle Obama.
Too many women try to impress me with stuff I could give a fuck about from a woman. As a man I don't care that you have an MBA. I don't care that you drive a BMW, I don't care thats a Prada Bag, I don't care those are Jimmy Choo's. I don't care that you got the latest and greates sew in weave. A FUCK IS TRULY NOT GIVEN. But this is are the things that these women focus on to impress us men with........and think these are the things that ELEVATE them from another woman in our eyes. *shaking head* Because these women are looking at what the traits THEY DESIRE FROM A MAN.............and assume that we are looking for the same things in return. Which is the ultimate fallacy.
Some women realize it too late. Don't be one of them. If you follow my advice many of your current peers of women will HATE ON YOU...and try to discourage you. Saying bullshit like "You ain't going to school to be no housewife" "Why you cooking for that nigga for? You work too don't you" "Girl if you have a MASTERS DEGREE, why would you mess with a nigga unless he has at least a MASTERS or better"
