Heard today is Single's Day, and as a single who is sick and tired of her relationship status being the same for the last few years, I'd like to ask - What are you doing to find men who are at your intellectual level? I can only find men who are either intelligent but insecure about success in my professional life or they're just hard to connect with. Help me change my status, ladies! Drop your tips :D

This “singles day” is a new thing I’ve been seeing but I have to laugh a little because it used to be my anniversary with my ex … it must be a sign.

To your question, I would try to find men in intellectual settings or self improvement settings because those men are at least trying to match your energy. The pessimist in me says it’s just harder to find because women have continued to level themselves up over the years and men have largely stayed the same. Men are more insecure than ever tbh.

Ultimately it’s better to be alone than with the wrong person… I love to believe there is someone amazing for me out there but I could have settled down (emphasis on settle) by now, but I want someone to spend my life with someone who will add to it.

Maybe in a class or a group activity.

I get where you’re coming from. I earn more than most, I have a PhD, and I love my work. I’m going to suggest not worrying about being partnered. You’re successful and smart (and probably awesome).

One of the best things I have accidentally done my entire life is worked to really like myself just as I am, prioritize friendships with some of the most amazing women I’ve met, and just focused on happiness.

I think the realities of relationships never match the ideal. I mean, movies and music really distorted my perception of love and romance, and I honestly don’t mind. If someone can’t tick all the boxes I’m so happy on my own.

To me, unless someone can make me just as happy if not happier than I already am, I don’t want it. FTR, I care deeply about people, and I love making people happy so relationships can be great, but I think it’s good to be in a position where you’re happy either way.

I am trying to write a stock letter to send to parents everyday that their child does not come to virtual learning sessions. I have been told by administration that even though I have spoken to parents and know why students are not coming to zoom classes, that we still need to contact them everytime they dont come. For some of my students this is everyday due to parent work schedules and disability issues.
Is anyone else having this trouble? What are you saying to parents to cover yourself?

I’m looking to transition from an academic medical center to pharma or a biotech. I have about 8 years of clinical research experience overall — 7 years combined as a CRC (CRC I, CRC II, and senior CRC) and 1 year as a PM. I’m also recently ACRP-CP certified.

I’ve worked with many different industry-sponsors and CROs throughout the years, but many jobs I am applying to require experience at a biotech/CRO/pharma company. Would really appreciate any advice or referrals. Thanks in advance!
