I've heard of this "disability," but it's more commonly mentioned of on the stage of Ricci Lake. Generally women complain that they are too pretty and that men are intimidated by it. It's usually just their aweful personality.
I personally don't buy any of this too good looking or too smart crap. It's a copout for failure. |

MrkThMn,
I wish I were kidding. I guess I don't necessarily look at it as a form of intimidation, as much as it is a distraction. I have had an interviewer tell me that he would have a difficult time working with me, because he was too attracted to me, then proceeded to invite me out for a drink.
Just today, I received a phone call from a gentleman that I was networking with on Monday for a COO position. He called to ask me out for the weekend.
So, no, I truly wish I were kidding. It just seems to happen to me often. My brain power tends to get overlooked, because they're looking at something else.
