Men date across and below their league, where as women date across and up from their league. It is an instinct, women have children so they need a man who can look after them when they take time off work to raise the kids. This is not a conscious choice; if it was people would be with who they loved based on that alone. But that's not how it works. There are plenty of men who would date/marry a woman more successful than them, but those women tend not even consider men below them to be attractive (not talking about looks). Also most men who are successful like a woman to be lower than them so they feel more powerful and that's a turn on, and vice versa.
That's what I did. Although I was not able to finish my PhD. (I was "all but thesis".) Still, I would not have a problem being with a woman who does have a doctorate. I __might__ be a little intimidated if I only had a BS but that's because I'd be insecure that she'd leave me for someone better.
My mom once said to me: "Did you ever notice that when you tell Chris a joke, you have to spend the next half hour explaining it to her?" Me: "Yes, I'm painfully aware of that."
I asked my ex-wife to call and order a pizza. Wife: Why do I have to call? I don't even know what to say!" Me: God, I just hope I never need you to call an ambulance for me. I'll be toast." LOL

Maybe, girls still say they want someone higher than them
Why are you asking this question, what are you trying to ascertain?

As long as she doesn't brag about it or belittle me, I don't care.
What is YOUR level of education?
Iβm pursuing my masterβs right now and I want to get my PHD

In what do you wish to get an MS and PhD?
MS is education administration and PhD would be counseling
Very good! That doesn't sound intimidating but just the sort of thing men would like.
Only if she flaunts it.
At that point is it even intimidating? Or just annoying?
@LtJackass
Annoying.
LOVE INTELLIGENT WOMEN
I married a dumb one, and it was hell.
Yep. Know that one to well
My mom once said to me: "Did you ever notice that when you tell Chris a joke, you have to spend the next half hour explaining it to her?"

Lol. My first was a little slow on jokes.
The second was sharp as a knife

Ha ha! Iβll have to introduce you to the next ex wife. As soon as I meet her.
I'm looking for a new ex-wife as I speak. If I lived in Texas or Arizona, I wouldn't need one. But it's below freezing where I live!
Yeah me too! Fucking winter
Washington state. Beautiful, but cold in the winter. And I hate shoveling snow.
That's why I need a wife. Someone to keep me warm and shovel the snow.
You need a sub
I'm thinking of how much I might learn from her.
No. I prefer an intelligent woman.
as long as she's not constantly talking down to me
It's actually a turn on
I should start asking them out
I would shit my pants
😂😂😂😂
Big turn on
It is a good thing
Not at all.

I actually like it
Nopers.
