This coming from a 25 yr old with no college education. Btw, if you want to get into a pissing match about dating up and down, I can tell you, (without regard to your age) if you and I were dating, I would be the one who was dating down.


Someone needs a paddlin'.

How about you? Would you date someone who had a lesser education than you, or no?
Okay, Woofie. Why do you only date higher level educationites?

Depends on how established they are. If they worked an hourly job, probably not. If they'd developed some kind of marketable skill, probably. It has more to do with effort than education. I don't think I'd be very interested in or interesting to someone who didn't care to develop himself.

That's always been my weekspot. I have a hard time staying mad at people...even though I was quite offended.

Absolutely so. In my experience(s), some of the most successful and brilliant men in business I have met have little or no college education (while still being educated), and - could beat the pants off numerous men intellectually. So therrre!

No offense taken...I was just rather perplexed by this thread as it comes across (to me) as slightly obnoxious (no offense).

Richard Branson (tycoon) has no college degree (part of the reason is that he suffers from dyslexia). Would you consider dating Richard Branson to be "dating down"?

I try not to set standards, or judge when it comes to dating people, or being friends with them. If my wife had no college degree, I wouldn't think any less of her (and vice-versa). Remember, not everyone is cut out for college, but that doesn't make them inferior.

It depends. Generalizations usually never work since there are always exceptions.

There are people without college educations who are successful and people without college educations that are lazy without much ambition.

A college degree(s) is often a signifier that the person wanted to get a higher education and open up his/her opportunities. Then again, college degrees are plentiful... many, many people have them.

I WOULD date a guy without a college education but only if he didn't let that hold him back. Nothing is more unattractive than a guy who didn't go to college (or worse, dropped out of high school) because he just wanted to drink beer and watch tv all day.
