I converse with dumb people all day every day.
A classy person makes everyone comfortable and finds something in common with each person they meet.
They don't patronize, condescend, or disrespect others based on some kooky, preconceived notion of intellectual hierarchy.
You are absolutely correct. However, there is an enormous difference between making conversation with a patient or a clerk or some other random person you encounter and making conversation with someone night after night after night across the dinner table.
I will not claim myself to be the world's greatest intellect, far from it. But I like to discuss lots of things from history to books to music to current events to any number of other things. A great deal of my knowledge and curiosity has been fed by the education I received. What's more, I married a woman whose studies in college were different than my own, but she also shares my curiosity about the world around me. She is an even more voracious reader than me, and we like discussing an endless array of topics. If I want to visit a museum when we're traveling, she is happy to go along. Imagine reading a book or seeing a movie and wanting to share your thoughts on it, only to be met with a resounding silence.
Mind you, it's not like some 18th Century Parisian salon around our house. But, trust me, there is nothing more awful than to be tethered to someone without knowledge or curiosity. I dated someone like that.
How is that so when the vast majority of men through out history haven't had a pot to p*ss in or a window to throw it out of, and yet our planet is over populated. The evidence shows that women have a thing for financial under-achievers. Follow? Or should I dumb it down further?
Only 40% of men historically have reproduced while 80% of women have reproduced.

And less than 2% of men have had a pot and a window. Many of you are scary to look at, so I can only imagine what was going on in the minds of those women. Although, given that men have had women under their thumb historically, it's likely that men are responsible for those figures if they're true. God, you guys are dense.
Several reasons (at which I am only guessing, because I do not have this requirement):
Shared experiences, like a few people already said.
Because it is ingrained in us nowadays that, if you don't have a degree, you're screwed.
Because too many people confuse "credentials" with "education". There are many, many different avenues in which one can become educated, most of which don't take place in a classroom.
Listen, I am the last person who will crap all over anyone's educational achievements. I respect someone's attainment of a degree in the same manner that I respect someone who's earned a black belt or just about anyone who's achieved something for which they worked very hard. I just don't ascertain a person's values from how they look "on paper". Nothing but time will tell me that.
why is it far more important for men to have goals than it is for women?
I don't know as far as the masses go, but individually, when it comes to having goals, it's a matter of maturity, foresight, and perhaps a degree of wisdom.

and maturity is expected in men way more than women
When a woman asks you "where did you go to college", at that point you have several choices (whether or not you went to college): ask to be excused and don't come back, or if you have dishonorable motives tell her you are at Harvard or Stanford medical school, or ask her why it matters?

dude no need to be so defensive lol. maybe she's curious if you went to the same place she did or if you went to the place 30 minutes away where her bff goes. maybe she wants to know where your sports team loyalies are or the location you spent four years of your life. did you live somewhere neat/far away for college or did you go to her school's arch-rival school in football? its as much a cultural and geographical question as anything else.
