lol...I would not date anyone with a job like that. Anyone with a degree who is doing a job like that has wasted their degree...and anyone who doesn't have a degree is just lazy. Get an education, for christ sake!

Im sorry if I am coming off too mean, I just needed to vent, and need some advice please thankyou all. Girls help me out here....
That was intense

But you may be right. As I'd said before, the internet is not the best place to fish men or women for that matter.

It's nice to see that education snobbery is still alive and well.

For me it's more about having things in common, but the degree seems to go along with that. I can't imagine having a conversation about all my world travels, with a waiter or a mechanic. Sorry, but that's just how I feel. I have a good job with a very decent salary; I take vacations to Europe and the Caribbean (Australia next year. Yippee), and own two houses. What the heck would I talk about with my mechanic?

I'm of the mind that it completely depends on the person. I've never looked at a "degree" as some sort of benchmark, and certainly wouldn't assume that a "mere waiter or mechanic" didn't have any worldly experience, or anything in common with me because I do have a degree.

Some of the most boring, horrible people I've ever met have been my "educational equals". So I feel fortunate that I never really feel into the trap of educational snobbery.

I'm the same way. I went to college, I got an education, I go on trips, I do and buy whatever I want, I own a home...I just don't feel like a mechanic or waiter or ups guy and I would have a lot in common.

And, IMO, it's a shame that your worldview is so narrow.

honesty I dated from the net and not all are bad....but you do have to watch out for the wack jobs.

There are many sucess stories who have met men online and married and are in a very happy relationship.

Its just like old fashion dating you have to try people out....you don't click try another.

Even dating a friend of a friend can be bad. It doesn't work..its awkward around that friend whom set you up or..its weird when you see that person again.

But I really think there is someone for everyone...it really seems when i'm not looking i find a guy. When i'm looking i find the creeps.
