I'm just talking about reality in a crude way. Men respond to you because they are generally attracted to you. It's not a degree that draws them in. They are not women.

Who cares?????-lol Why in the world does a man need to know about what degrees you have? All you have to say is I went to college, that's it. Now it may come up in a conversation about what your degree is in but you don't have to mention it in your ad. Ladies we are not EMPLOYERS so stop with the degree talk.

I would feel so strange stating in a profile that I have a degree in..LOL
As with anything, people are interested in different things. Anyone writing a profile - yourself included - can't possibly write an ad that will include (or not include) things that will pique the interest of everyone who is reading it. If you don't care what degree they have - move on to the next profile. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be interested to know....

At least it shows more sophistication, a ''I can do it myself'' feeling, and more topics to discuss (you can even used it to your advantage when disagreeing on something) rather than a poor woman who is waiting for her shiny knight to come to her rescue and doesn't know any topics at all.

Your wrong! If a woman wants to attract a man she should post her height, weight, hair color, eye color and bra size!

Then move on to the credit scores and what-nots! lol!

As a former professional journalist, you'd better believe that I'd find her journalism degree interesting -- the journalism major more than the degree itself. A person's occupation or college major indicates a lot about them. And I wouldn't need to be impressed to contact someone on a dating board, just interested.

I met my late wife on a writers board. But I guess she wouldn't have interested you. You'd have considered her poetry a waste of time.

See, that's exactly WHY women should include college majors/degrees in their profile -- because there are men whom it would interest, and those are the men who the gal would most likely have the most interest. My late wife liked me, the Bohemian/artist/writer, but she'd have had little interest in a biologist or accountant.

I've never posted a profile on a dating site, but if I did I'd want to write it to attract certain women who I'd want to meet, not ALL women. Heck, if I wanted to do that, all I'd have to do is flash my bald head and beer belly and they'd all come running. (Did I really say that?)
I'm with this. I'd post the educational info (if I did a dating site) because I'd sure want to weed out the guys who weren't interested in that part of me and now, knowing that it is the one thing that DISattracts TVboy, I'd make it the #1 bit of info. I don't want an anti-intellectual on a date. Guys like that are good for one thing only, a piece of wood -- and if the wood ain't good, then maybe staying home to watch sports on TV is a good idea.

Am I the only one that is coming across a lot of women in their late 20s and early 30s that have been in college for like the last 12 years?
