I am a girl. I would like to date a hard working and knowledgeable PhD guy like that rather than some small minded people who work in some companies just for money. People who do PhD are often curious people who are very passionate about learning. That alone I found very attractive.
Hark! Unfortunately girls are just as shallow as guys, for the most part. Most want to date the cool guy, who cares if he is a looser in hindsight. Guys are just as shallow, to be fair.
