Women of quality should expect such a thing from a man. As a man with a good education himself, it is reciprocal. Who wants a dumb woman?

I can abide lots of things, but not stupidity.

It means she has standards.
Why would anyone want to date someone who doesn´t have his/her life together?

For the passionate sex?


It all depends what two people are looking for at that moment in time. If two people are looking to make amazing sex their priority, and those two people happen to find each other and both enjoy eating dinner after the sex? BAM! You've got a one night stand turned into a date.

Why should it matter? I know people who are very intelligent who do not have college degrees. Personally, I'm after a Fire and EMT job. I have my EMT-B, but even if I get my EMT-P I still don't have a Bachelor's degree. Does not having a Bachelor's mean I'm stupid/uneducated? Absolutely not. Not going to college was a personal choice, and if someone wants to judge me based on that choice then they obviously aren't for me.

There would not be overpopulation in the world if all or even most women were only spreading their legs for men who have at least a bachelor's degree.

I can assure you that your fellow associate degree nurses agree with you! I got my bachelor's only because the industry told me I needed it and I wouldn't have a job without it.

Fair enough!. I´ve never had a ons.
If i did, I guess I would choose someone I´m already familiar with, like an ex. That way I know he won´t dump me in a ditch somewhere.

When I was in the dating scene I was very selective. While a degree wasn't a must, I have always been drawn to intellectuals and intellectuals are educated either formally or informally. They're highly intelligent. Most of the men I was matched with had degrees, many advanced or professional degrees. I'm an intellectual elitist, and am not afraid to admit it. I'm a sapiophile. Smarts, especially in specific areas like philosophy and hard sciences or the humanities, excites me.

I have an ex that is a software developer with no college degree, yet he makes six figures. My ex-husband is brilliant. He has a genius level IQ and was an intelligence analyst in the military, and also doesn't have a college degree. My current husband was an engineering major at UC Santa Barbara, but dropped out because it wasn't for him. He has an AA in Liberal Arts. He's also brilliant, a free-thinker, highly analytical, and a deep thinker. That is just my type. If we can have an intelligent and engaging conversation about the topics that are important to me (e.g., Cosmos series or the movie Noah) then it's all good. I have always desired someone with knowledge that spans many fields of study. I'm a big fan of the classic nerdy and geeky types.

I'm an autodidact. I've spent many years studying my chosen field (comparative literature/religion and philosophy -- metaphysics), more than the time spent to receive both a first and second degree. I'm currently back in school in my sophomore year for this very degree (comparative literature and philosophy) because it just made sense; however, I have yet to touch on anything related to my field and will write a 90 page essay which is similar to CLEP to get a sh*t-ton of credits for knowledge I've already acquired. That would leave me with only two terms left.

It is less about making monies and more about intellectual endeavors, curiosity and exploration. This needn't be experienced by way of formal education. It just needs to exist.

Yeah but you have to get familiar with them somehow. Some people wanna get frisky before getting Del Frisco's.




Bad joke. Sorry.

well high school girls, and college girls, or girls in their late teens and early 20's or somewhat mid-20's often times date guys who don't have their **** together yet, so it sounds like it's because the woman is not looking to settle down or get married yet
