What makes you think that these women with degrees would require you to talk math? They will have colleagues to talk shop with. After working in the shop all day, would a mechanic expect his girlfriend to talk fuel injection? No, they would have other things to talk about. People want connection, conversation, attraction...and that can't be summed up neatly in a pretty parchment and letters after your name. I think the pedigree matters less than you think. 
Hey stranger! Where've you been? ...and that is easy enough to arrange you know ...

What makes you think that these women with degrees would require you to talk math? They will have colleagues to talk shop with. After working in the shop all day, would a mechanic expect his girlfriend to talk fuel injection? No, they would have other things to talk about. I was being sarcastic about that People want connection, conversation, attraction...and that can't be summed up neatly in a pretty parchment and letters after your name. I think the pedigree matters less than you think. Trust me on this..they don't wanna date just "anyone". Especially if they got colleagues and they go to meetings and so on..sooner or later it's gonna come up in a topic and there she is, all embarrassed or won't talk about his plumber or carpenter husband or boyfriend. I dated someone who became a medical doctor, and soon she started working that was it..I could never really figure out what made her dump me, but if not entirely but it was part of the reason of just me there who isn't fitting into that group. I understand what you are saying. My history and perspective is different... I worked in post secondary for 15 years and I can assure you that a degree does not make you smart. In fact, I worked with as many really dumb people who had a lot of letters after their name as I did smart, socially conscious, well adjusted ones. The mechanic that worked on my car was well travelled, well read and truly one of the most interesting, smartest and most 'datable' guys I've ever met. He was well mannered, articulate and comfortable in any social situation whether it was hanging out at a football game or having dinner with the President of the College. I would date him in a heartbeat over the 'formally' educated men I worked with. Everyone is unique and I'd prefer to get to know them as they are. With or without a PhD. But you are right ... there are some that look for the formal letters and make assumptions based upon that. But some people also know better ... |

I am having a hard enough time of finding a date now. Are you telling me that once I get my degree I am done for as far as dating goes? Well that stinks. Be cool...stay in school |

Trust me..they don't scare me, neither I debate their intelligence/dumbness...my interest is more about what do they think of a mere mortal like me? I know for sure, they won't look at me as another fellow PHD psyhciatrist rocket propulsion neurologist, there is a bias. Or...what is this have to do with dating? Why boast about it like I'm supposed to be looking for human values and personality, all I see are job resumes, not profiles, which supposed to give an insight into someone's inner self. Instead of that, I see a 2 dimensional sheet of paper telling me that this person has been in school for at least 10 years and now makes over 100,000 dollars. |

And they probably spent more than that getting their education! I personally do not even have one single college credit but an IQ higher than 98% of the population.... NONE of that shlt matters to me at all. |

I have a degree and I'm saving up to study for my Master's next year, though my family is encouraging me to just continue to Med school. Eh, I'm digressing. Anyhoo, if I am looking for a date, I would have no qualms on dating anyone who has no college degree. I've met a lot of a-holes from all levels. It's not the diploma that makes a person, nor is it the one that keeps the partner. It may be a nice thing thing to have, but it won't assure anyone of a great relationship. Art pretty much hit it on the mark, the personality and attitude of a person is what makes them great as a partner and will be the deciding factor regarding the duration of any relationship they would get into. I also see your point when you said that they wouldn't look at you as one of them, or something to that effect. Yes, you are correct to assume that most of them will feel that way. It's like this, a college degree is an achievement in itself. The "letters" you get for furthering your studies, even more so. It's natural for a person to be proud of his accomplishments. I think we can say that someone on a blue collar job who does his best to master his art, is of the same way. Even if he belongs to a blue collar job, if he works hard to "master" everything there is about his job, then that in itself is an accomplishment. All of it, when dissected to its most basic, is the same thing. I believe that in order to belong to ANY group or looked upon as an equal depends on the respect you earn. I know someone who doesn't have the PhD's and such other, but earned the applause and admiration of a very elite group of individuals. He earned their respect by accomplishing things and surpassing expectations. Personally, I don't see anything wrong in taking pride of one's accomplishments. H*ll, I worked my arse off to put myself through college and still do to save up for my Master's. What would be wrong is to have too much of that pride and use it to belittle other people, which brings us back to attitude. It's a circle. |

How can you discount a person's goal to earn a degree in their chosen field of study?
I applaud their sacrifice and dedication to achieving their goal.

I don't care whether he has a degree or not, so long as we can have an intelligent conversation. I want common sense smart AND book smart.
There are as many out of work people with degrees as those without right now. Personally, I think the degree thing is a financial racket any more, but I fully admit I've been burned and will have to suck it up and pay for nothing. The colleges take your money and don't have to guarantee they'll even meet the classes that fall under your requirements. |

I was browsing through some profiles at another website and to tell you the truth, it seems like everyone has became a professional with all sorts of master degrees and 3-4 universities done etc. It frightens me.. 
I'm outclassed! HOw am I supposed to date these women who will require me to start talking about mathematical formulas and take them to a cocktail parties at the CEO golf club? my education has helped me become understanding, open minded, accepting and hopefully intersting. I have used my education to help those less fortunate, teach my own kids when they had poor teachers in school (they have all been honor students), and to influence those in power to embrace just causes. we smaaart gals need luvin in the oven too u guys

But ...hmm..maybe you assume that I haven't gone to colleges and I don't have a degree. That's the whole point. I doubt anyone seen me flashing around what colleges I may have completed and what other various achievements I have reached. When I meet someone, they know me as a "person". Later on ..I may reveal myself a little more, but I rather make them like me who I am as a person, and perhaps later on it's a nice surprise for them to know, that I am more than what I make myself appear.

Nope. I just took your question cum grano salis and shared to you my opinion and experiences regarding the matter.

Ive always believed that Intellect is something you are born with...Knowledge is something you aquire. So you can have a top-notch education...that doesnt necessarily make you intelligent.
