    Grad School Attire

    Thank you! I just bid on a great looking sport coat so that advice sounds great. I'd be surprised if any of the other students wore sport coats. You'll have to decide whether that matters to you. It probably should.

    Dressing for the classroom

    (Jacket without tie is a major style mistake in my opinion, tie without jacket is not - I think that an open-necked shirt with a sports jacket, blazer or suit looks sloppy and unfinished. I've said it before and I'll say it again). . This has been debated in the past on this forum. My view: a...

    Dressing for the classroom

    Unlike many other occupations, what you wear is entirely up to you. I've taught at various locations in the U.S. (west coast, east coast, south), and I'd say that the formality varies somewhat according to the region. The kind of class you're teaching matters, too, I'd say. A professor in a...

    Should I replace my navy Jos A Bank with something better or add to my collection?

    I Right now, I have two suits - the Jos A Bank navy, and a HF 2 button in a solid dark gray (wouldn't quite call it charcoal) that I purchased from Gilt. I don't wear a suit often except for 3-4 times a year for business and the odd funeral. It doesn't seem as though you need a new suit...

    Dating a "high end" girl?

    There is so much wrong with that post that I don't know where to start. I'll just posit that even if you are quite rich, there are still things you feel that you cannot afford, so you are always in the position of having to decide whether to exist in a relationship in which you value open...

    Dating a "high end" girl?

    Are you ******* kidding me? Emasculating? Trade up? You are seriously gross. One other thought: If you find that not being rich is emasculating, you really don't have a very strong sense of self-worth.

    Dating a "high end" girl?

    Are you ******* kidding me? Emasculating? Trade up? You are seriously gross. I assume he was being facetious, but maybe not. The idea that most of these men are "trading up" when they get trophy wives is laughable, though. On the other hand, most of the time they get exactly what they deserve...

    Yale MBA - Ranking & Perception? (or lack thereof?)

    Federal judges might disagree with you. And law school faculty hiring committees, as well. And from my experiences at a law school that's ranked pretty high (esp compared to overall ranking/"reputation") in the "ranked by law firms" list, these lists don't mean as much as you might think. In...

    Yale MBA - Ranking & Perception? (or lack thereof?)

    the H-bomb would definitely drop more panties, but perception within the industry, as well as the professional opportunities that come with it, definitely slants heavily towards yale. I agree that Yale is clearly #1, but its dominance tends to be overstated by the Internets (typically by OLs...

    Yale MBA - Ranking & Perception? (or lack thereof?)

    Really? There are about 800 in each class at HBS, and just over 200 at Yale. If you need help with the math, let me know. You can't really be this dense. The size of the entering class does not impact a school's selectivity the way that you think it does. Think about it. Harvard UG has a much...

    Relationship Dealbreakers

    In a purely theoretical sense, I suppose that is true. But that's like saying you're rich because you have something you are willing to sell for $1M - it's worth nothing until you have a buyer. For every woman that gets laid, a man also gets laid. Women have more choice in who it happens with...

    Relationship Dealbreakers

    It's mathematical because it requires one woman and one man to complete the act. So - whether or not one desires it more or less than the other... they both need to be there. Now, it's possible that in a population of 10 men and 10 women, all ten women sleep with only one guy... that would...

    Relationship Dealbreakers

    This is a mathematical conundrum. If it were so easy for women to get laid, it must be equally easy for guys... assuming homosexuality out of the equation for a minute. See.... the REAL difference between men and women is that it's easier for men to lower their standards for the purpose of...

    Grad School Thread

    Eh, might as well. I just turned down a research Fulbright and accepted a funded offer to a solid MA program in philosophy. Hope it was the right choice. Your philosophy studies will give you something to mull over while you're serving coffee at the local coffee shop. Seriously, I don't...

    Relationship Dealbreakers

    +1 crude language (I don't mind the occasional swear word, but if a girl drops an f-bomb every five minutes, I lose respect and interest) +1. To mollify Pstoller, I don't particularly like it when men drop f-bombs every five minutes either. If you like intensifiers, you should be a little more...

    Relationship Dealbreakers

    -Girls that when you see them for second time are browsing over my facebook photos as I walk into a bar, acting like she doesn't know I'm there, but admiring my photos. That was just plain weird. -Girls that have had past history with psycho's - not normal psychos but hustlers who have...

    Relationship Dealbreakers

    Horse girls (girls who own and ride horses), I just want to eat the damn horsey as he is more loved than me. To this day I make it a point to buy horse meat and eat it with a grin on my face. +1. They're typically spoiled, incredibly self-centered, and want to spend all their time with the...

    Grad School Thread

    I guess I need to expand. I was recruited to attend the info session for the inaugural incoming Ph.D. class. During the session, I asked when I could start my thesis work. One of the co-deans asked, "You've already given your thesis some thought?" I told him yes, I had a research topic that was...

    Grad School Thread

    If the goal is just to have a Ph.D., couldn't you get a degree or two first, that would let you actually earn money and then fulfill the Ph.D. dream part time? Although, I will warn you, I went to check out upgrading my MPH to a Ph.D. and I just could not deal with the idiocy and ego of...
