a mandatory requirement among most women before considering dating, being in a relationship with a man? what if he just has a high school diploma, is he screwed, will the odds be against him?
I think most people who are casually dating probably wouldn't mind, but anyone who is looking to settle down and marry is probably thinking about earning potential. I would only date someone who has a Bachelor's degree or has a career plan already that did not require college education (i.e., already running a company, independently wealthy, working for family company, etc). Everyone these days it seems has undergrad education, so it seems like enough people are out there trying to make that their accepted level in a partner as well.

There's only a few careers that require college education. Unless someone is limiting themselves to only doctors, lawyers, teachers, and a few others...there are plenty of people to date whose career plans will not require college.
ya just asking because when I go on online dating sites, it seems most attractive women over age 23 and older have a college degree, mainly bachelor's degree at least, from seeing many online dating profiles online so I wonder if this is the majority in real life as well, because i'm assuming most women refuse to date down right?

I agree, but my point was the career plan. If your plan is to sit at home playing WoW and calling it a career, that's a big fat no. If you wanted to go to trade school, or have a plan to do something else pther than college, I'd be willing to listen and date such a person.

For some women it is. Not all. Most women are fine with someone who is happy in what they do for a living. Not all jobs require degrees. However I do have friends that do have a min. Degree requirement. Btw she's in her 40s, never married nor has she had a LTR. I do believe she wanted one too. I hope that helps answer your question about SOME women that place a requirement on a SO such as that.

A degree doesn't make a man better. There are plenty of men who not have degrees and are millionaire. As long as they have intuition to better themselves. Hello! Its called thinking out of the box!!!

I don't think not having a college education is dating "down" per se. I think it more has to be about the level of ambition and desire for a career vs a job. For example, I don't really care what level of education a man has, but I do typically look for men with college degrees for the following reasons: 1. They're likely to be through that post-high school age of "figuring themselves out" and looking for a hook up 2. They're likely to be vested in their career and making themselves the best they can be at it 3. They're more likely to have the "career" taken care of and can focus on the dating aspect of their lives.
