some women just will never learn

the women you described in 2011 still exist and they are pushing 40 with no man or kids and they are growing angry

a degree is a piece of paper, the only reason someone goes for a degree is because it gives you an OPTION, and with options there is a *POSSIBILITY* to make decent money (so the endgame is always about money)

a general 4-yr degree never guarantees you anything though... plenty of people have degrees and they find themselves making a living selling cars or working in retail etc... it doesnt matter

if a person has figured out a way to accumulate a house and does decent financially, why the hell does he/she need a certificate from a college/university?

i guess you really cant fault these women, they have been influenced by the media and other angry single women

Guess with a degree, we would know women from 4 years ago aren't suddenly pushing 40.

Kinda think you've just had crap luck so far...your situation sounds respectable and...well, more than impressive. I hope you're able to find what you're looking for...

Many people start college (or return to college) in their 30s/40s.

Actually, it's more likely that most of them are married at this point.

Some women figure they'll have more in common with someone with a BA or more. But so much depends on the individual. Some women are afraid that law enforcement is a dangerous profession. People have their reasons for making their choices.

Congrats on your achievements, though, OP! As with anything, it's just a matter of finding the right woman, the right match.

I was in the military been to Iraq twice and saved all my money for a house. So I bought one just outside the Dallas area and have been trying the dating scene. At first it was tough cuz I dont know anyone here but lately Ive had some success. Now most of these women are college educated and the dates go fine. But once we get to the part when they ask where I went to school. I explain to them I dropped out and joined the military everything seems to fall apart and they tell me they want someone like-minded with the same goals. I dont get it. I own my own house, my own car (Acura TL) not cheap, and have no debt besides my house. Not to brag but I have a 401k another one with Edward Jones both about 20k and another 20k in the bank and somehow because I dont have a degree Im not gonna be successful. Im a police officer and make around 60k a year which is pretty good in dallas. Now at first I thought this was just one girl but it has happened to the last three girls I dated. They all want a guy with a degree which I think is overrated but thats just me, I chose a different route. A degree is a great accomplishment but I dont think you need one to be successful. I think Im in better shape than most of the people my age. Anyways whine over.. Think Im overreacting.

Seriously dont worry about it. I never finished college. . A college degree opens doors. It doesn't make you rich. If a woman dismisses you for not having a degree ...... Well from what you wrote it sounds like her loss.

Two of the ladies I dated years ago, were sisters of men I served with in the Navy. We wrote to each other, back & forth, & dated when possible. . It worked out well.
