Maybe you are asking out the wrong women. I think a woman that is more blue collar and working class without a degree will be better fit for you.
I see a lot of bitter people in here with the "educated people lack common sense" posts. Just because you didn't go to college doesn't mean you need to be as superficial as those who reject you for not having a degree.
This is a very good thread topic. I have a lot of personal experience here.
I dont have a bachelors degree and I'm 25. I was single about 4-5 years and dated a lot and met a lot of women. I went out several nights a week to packed bars and clubs for years. Needless to say, ive met a LOT of people.
I will admit that it seemed a lot of women when they asked "what you went to school for" or "what you do" you were instantly judged. Now, it never like put me in some huge slump by any means, but it certainly put me out of commission with plenty of attractive and educated girls.
They far prefer a fancy title and degree because they automatically think it means "omg $ and success." One of my best friends is a chiropractor and I make about 3x what he does. He has a lot of education and a fancy title. Same with a LOT of my friends.
What's crazy is some women drool over that assuming success.
The thing is, when the conversation comes up I cant be like "oh yeah I dont have a bachelors degree, but I'll make 150k this year, I actually turned down a job for 200k last week since I'm happy where I'm at."
No.. I cant say that for obvious reasons lol. So instead many of the more educated and often attractive girls are left thinking "well he's not that educated and works in the construction industry" and they make fair assumptions that most people would.
However, in actuality though it's a good thing. It would keep me away from girls that are high maintenance or gold diggers a bit more.
I understand why some people place value on education. My WHOLE family is like that to an extent, luckily I do well so I don't hear about it.
Education is great and can certainly mean something. People also need to undertand there are outliers to those with degrees as well.
Please dont take my post as a generality towards women. The women who really place THAT much emphasis are often few and far between. It should not be a reason men can't get laid or dates.

It's a good thing you dodged that bullet, when people marry for richer or poor I guess that only applied to the male. I've known relationships crumble when husband falls on hard times.
As for the bolded, I know one woman who claimed to be a devout Christian who married a closeted homosexual who sold himself that he was on the fast track to success by being our company's next administrator. Well, he was terminated due to years embezzlement and misuse of company funds last year and my sources tell me today he still hasn't bounced back and things have been going downhill ever since.
I married a guy who barely got his GED, had an LTR with guy who didn't finish college-and I didn't finish college myself, so what do I care ?
I value mental "smarts", but I don't discriminate based on whether someone has a piece of paper (diploma, degree, whatnot).
It (educational attainment) has no bearing on whether I actually find the person intelligent, attractive, and worth spending my time with.
Maybe they are worried that if you lose your job you dont have a "degree" to fall back on. Maybe they think that in that scenario where you had to look for another job, other people would have "1-up" on you for having a degree.

Yea but if you finished college you might not feel the same way. I do not know know how you feel but I would feel if i finished college and the girl I was in a LTR with did not i feel she should go back and finish it if she hates her job. I hate my job now and going back to college and doing something about it.

I have no bachelor degree and I've turned down 4 job offers for 150k-200k since August..
They can think that for some but they are idiots if they think that holds true for all.
Your posts here are funny. Youre clearly one of those that seems to hold degree holders so high haha.

The same could be said for those with high incomes as well...
I make plenty of money for two people. I have other things I hold higher than income or a degree.

Well a lot of peope just do not have the option.Most people work a dear end retail jobs there whole and live just above poverty line. If they lose that job the only option is to take another dead end job or go mop up the *** puddles at the end of the night at the porn theater.
That is why i went back to college i want options other then going from dead end job to dead end job for the next 35 years life is to short for that.
college for me is a matter of life or death , having a saving acount vs using change for gas.
I am not hating or anything but not to many people make 100k a year and do not get offers like that. I would be dancing in the streets for 75k a year take home.

I know they dont and I am fortunate to do well.
My only reason for posting is to explain that there are always exceptions to the generalizations.

My only way out is go breaking bad or go back to college . My only thing is when people say college is point less and i say yes and no. There are degrees that are more important then others like scientist vs gender study's . The only job one can get with a degree in gender studies is to teach it . Wow you need a degree to say woman and men are different more on this at 11pm news.
I have always said we should base degrees cost on the usefulness and the money one can make once out working. So if some one wanted to be a teacher they will only pay what a first year teacher will make for college . So if they go for 4 years at a university it will cost them for all 4 years what a first year teacher will make once out working. Then if you want to get a degree in gender studies you pay the you can pay for it on your own and pay for that 30k+ a year for tuition.
College do not care about you only money. That why when the government gives you free money for college. Colleges will jack up the cost knowing the government will just give you more money.
Going to college does mean your smarter it just means you accomplished some thing.
