That type of snobbery about college will run it's course when they're hit with reality that a piece of paper doesn't define a person. Honestly, if someone rejects you for lacking a paper and a six digit income perhaps you're better off without them?
I have seen this on many dating profiles that girls want guys with Bachelor and Masters Degrees but I wonder why? If you have a degree you may be smart in that area but that does not mean you are know a lot in other areas.Many people without degrees are smart and successful.
Idk, i don't willingly interact with people like that.
"Class" works differently in America, where society has an ambiguous and contorted relationship with class. Just as we're climbing our of the morass of racial hangups, class-related hangups remain, and in fact are becoming exacerbated by the new economic reality.
Indeed, a "college degree" - especially a serious degree from a prestigious university, and especially a graduate degree - is a proxy of socioeconomic class.
So basically it's an extension of 'Look at me, Look at me -- Look what shiny, prestigious thing I have or have obtained'? Now I am special and can be a major player in the fraternity! The desire to be special and stand out.
Who cares, people are allowed to have preference maybe I'm not attracted to a certain race or height or weight. It is what it is, anytime dwelling on why someone doesn't want you is wasted energy. Also most women who have requirements like that are probably not someone you want to date anyway.
Don't get me wrong you make a good point. If its from a gold digging standpoint alot of entrepreneurs and people in the trades making good money dont have a degree.
It could be from a shallow money perspective or honestly it could be that they find people with degrees are more well rounded, can discuss philosophy or whatever else. I think thats a fair assessment tto think people who have degrees are more alike than people who don't. If you didn't go to college you probably never took a philosophy course as they aren't really offered in high school so there may be some itnerests and things that line up better between two people with degrees.
A lot of people on CD can't even spell and write on a 6th grade level. I thought the coursework for my liberal arts degree was relatively easy, but it wouldn't be for a lot of people. In my opinion, many of the same people who get mad about being called out for poor spelling and writing skills are often the same people who think "any moron" can get a college degree.
Well if they want men with bachelors and masters degrees they better have one too. They figure if a man has a degree like that then they must have a decent salary.

And if men want women with big boobs and healthy ovaries, they should have those too!
Because when the inevitable wealth redistribution aka frivorce takes place, someone with a degree make a better slave and has more money to give away.
A couple of things to add:
Womans hypergamy will always lead women to marry up, not down. Our evolutionary biology says men look for women with markers of fertility (youth, beauty) and women seek men who are good protectors and providers. If you are observant enough, you will see the proof that this hasn't changed at all, thus there is no reason to act shocked that women seek the best provider they can find. Its their very nature and should be appreciated.
Men and women seek out very different things in each other, thus please stop with silly comments about if one requires their potential SO to have xyz traits, they should have those traits themselves. We are attracted to very different things and need very different things from the opposite sex. Gender equality is not sameness, and there are no heterosexual people who are attracted to their mirror image.
Finally, it all comes down to supply and demand, as in any market. Because there are so many more men in OLD, women have the benefit of being able to be as choosy as they please. By the time they hit 35 and their attractiveness to the opposite sex is on a steep decline, their standards relax by a mile. In other words, we all shoot for the best we can get.
