How would you know if someone had a graduate degree or beyond?
I have degrees but I can confidently say that I walk and talk the same way I did before any of those graduations.
I was assuming Stan4 was kidding....A lot of times someone I'm talking to will disclose something about their having degrees, and I think to myself: 'well how the hell did that happen when you can't even spell?' (or use logic, or something similar). Not because I'm always an ass, but I often wonder what some people did for 4 to 8 years to end up not presenting as very educated. I'm not talking about them being humble about their education either.
To answer the OP: No. I can't see an education or feel one when I meet someone. It's the chemistry that's the deciding factor, and for me it works either way.
I care and I'm a guy. SOme girls care and some don't. They care more about your career than degree, but a degree is required for most careers. If you are a cop, fire fighter, or electrician, they might not care if you don't have a degree. But even a lot of those jobs require a 2 year degree now. Bottom line is if you have no degree or career, then 90% of girls who have degrees and careers won't want to date you.

And where did you get this statistical information?
I'm thinking of the women I know, and it's not an important enough deciding factor to have even come up in conversation. They're all educated as well.
Attractive (literally?) may be the wrong descriptor, it doesn't correlate with college degrees (e.g. there are attractive/unattractive men and women with and without college degrees).
"Girls" may prefer more intelligence, sense of humor, financial strength which correlates with college degrees in general. And I'd think "men" would prefer women with more intelligence, sense of humor, financial strength as well. Attractive is certainly a factor, but not conferred with a college degree.
Yeah. "Attractive" isn't really the right word here. "Compatible" best fits this context. I wasn't turned on by a dude's degree or two. Lol I was, however, intrigued and curious about educational backgrounds for a variety of reasons.
And people usually discuss their upbringing, family, and schooling in "get to know you" conversations.
Hell, I was recently at a dive resort with 16 guests. This was not at all a dating situation and we were all complete strangers. Within a couple of days, we all knew where everyone had gone to school. Just casual conversation. Or a hat. Or a tshirt.
And anyone can lie, but that'll out.
I guess my question is more along the lines of how you know they're telling the truth. Maybe a lie will out them, but likely not.
I've met a handful of phds who work as contract/temp employees. A high school education can get you the same job. I was the one who hired them so I saw the background checks. The economy at that time was to blame for a bit of that.
I've also met some higher ups who've just been around long enough to become executives without more than a BA. A 40-something with a certificate in programming is a CTO at a very large tech company. An executive director at my previous company is a BA holder.
Well, a degree in and of itself does not make you an educated person. It's what you do with your degree that truly matters, both in career and in the ongoing broadening and enrichment of your mind.
If you're some guy who got your degree and never cracked another book after getting your diploma, then you're not much better than the high school dropout. You just happened to stick with it another four years. If, on the other hand, you take your degree and continue to be expand on your academic career, then that makes you a more interesting person.
In other words, the question is worded poorly. Women are attracted to men with not just intellect, but lively intellect. Whether you get that by going to college or being a voracious reader is beside the point.
Having lived and worked with MANY types of people over the years, I believe that personally, romantically and sexually, a partner having a college degree is NOT a requirement for happiness nor is it a guarantee of compatibility.
I didn't think that as a younger woman, but life experience has taught me otherwise.
And where did you get this statistical information?
I'm thinking of the women I know, and it's not an important enough deciding factor to have even come up in conversation. They're all educated as well.
Well you could look at women who are educated with careers and see how many are married to men with no education or career. I don't know any. And its just common sense when you ask a women what she wants in a man. Top two things for career girls are education and career.
You also couldn't go by any surveys, because people often don't admit the truth in surveys and attraction is sub conscious. They might say they would date these men, but in practice they wouldn't.
At least one graduate degree.
College degree is the new high school diploma.
It's very bare minimum.
Depending what the degree is and where its from, a BS electrical engineering degree from MIT is not the same as a civil engineering degree from insert state school or an art history degree.
