Does a university degree make a man more attractive?

Personally, for me, it does because I would like to learn different things which is why I am happy to attend college also. I don't put down who doesn't. It bugs me when a man shames college and a woman's education but then refuses to go to school to get SOMETHING to make a better income. How are you going to take care of your family and have children? Most men today are selfish and think every woman is a Gold digger if she is too traditional. It's sad. I shouldn't be accused of what other women have done. My mom raised me to be a hard worker and even encouraged school. She was married and also was primarily a housewife and still worked. It hurt her that she couldn't make enough to support the family. If finances aren't the problem, then why not just try anything at this point? Heck, I wouldn't worry if it's just online or real estate or vocational. Just DO something.

You don't need a degree to make a million dollars I assure you. A million isn't even that much anymore. College doesn't educate you anyhow.

“An educated man is not, necessarily, one who has an abundance of general or specialized knowledge. An educated man is one who has so developed the faculties of his mind that he may acquire anything he wants, or its equivalent, without violating the rights of others.”

I've seen so many washed high schoolers become millionaires and it so funny if the world really knew how easy it is.

But there nothing wrong with being an intellectual man either. But what you are referring to, that you don't like, is men with no goals and aren't going anywhere.

[btbc92]

@PoliteSpeaker I don't CARE if you make a million or not. Take care of your family. That is all I ASK.

A university degree makes a man smarter but smarter men are harder to get and keep. I purposely avoid the cream of the crop since there is competition. A guy from trades school who makes good money such as a plumber might be better.

Do you mind me asking what your academic background is?

[jennifer_bloom]

I studied the history of religions at the university of toronto which is ranked somewhere between 20 - 30 in the world.

Oh cool

A degree doesn't change a person's appeal. It only changes what and how much they know. Yes, it is possible for achievement to go to a person's head, but even that changes how a person can be perceived. But you have to keep in mind there are two different attractions with a person. There is physical and what's in the heart. A college degree doesn't change either, unless it goes to their head, in which case it makes what is in the heart a bit blemished.

[btbc92]

Actually it does. A man is supposed to be a provider. So unless a man can make a certain amount without one, he will have to show where he is experienced on the job to make a higher income than newcomers who just graduated. A cert is better than no education at all in something. These days it is hard to find jobs without even that much. And before you try to say something. I have now started college for the first time, always had a diploma, been job hunting for years. Yes, your heart is more important. At least for me than the physical, but a man I can financially trust to keep our home in a marriage afloat and our children is most important. Women do not want to be wearing the pants. If i am expected to work, I expect him to bring home equally or just as much. If I am expected to be at home, then somebody is going to have to make enough to take care of all of us. Can't be this way, and I am not having my family in poverty.

@btbc92 The topic of the post is in regards to if a degree affects a man's appearances. Not how far he can go with it, or WHAT he can do with it.

[btbc92]

If you ever took a sociology class. Your education DOES affect your appearance. If you are not of higher status most people may not consider you. It has always been about social class. No matter how kind or attractive you look. In this world, if your poor, you're poor. And there is no getting around that.

[btbc92]

Go to poor countries. In their world, an education and a chance to provide for their families is all they ever think about. Yes, they have each other, thank God. but unless you are prepared to have yourself and your family dirty, with dirty clothes, homeless stench, and flies everywhere, you would be thankful to God for what you have. Some people literally have nothing. If I was rich, I would want to help those countries and create a place for faith and even help them toward getting out of poverty. Even if it's just farmwork, and education and a means to help provide is better than not knowing how to use a pickaxe. That to me is an education. Just that in America, unless you on a farm, you need to know how to work like regular people unless you can create your own business. Even then you have to show you can effective uphold it for many years to come.

@btbc92 Yes, there are Women out there who don't like "wearing the pants". But you need to understand that even today with degrees, it takes both Husband AND Wife bringing in income to keep households afloat. But to put financial EXPECTATIONS on a Man saying he has to qualify to be able to make so-much or you're no good? That's a sad attitude, to say the LEAST, not to mention unreasonable.

I was in learning support classes from the time I was in 1st grade up until I walked across the stage. I went to Tech School that October... and it got me NOWHERE. I got one job in my field and it only lasted a few months. Business plummeted and I never saw another Computer job again.

Because of my ADHD, I spent YEARS going from job to job because there were a number of years where I wasn't on my medications because I couldn't afford them. But even today, with being back on them, I still struggle because even with medicine, the brain still works at a lower than normal level. I have trouble keeping up with the paces. So with that being said, are you saying that if you met a Guy with the same disabilities as myself, and struggled for 39 years just as I have, you would turn him down because he doesn't have the advantage of making bookoo bucks from an over-priced College education? Now I am in much better shape now than EVER. I am working in a Warehouse out in Carlisle, PA making $19.75 /hr FULL TIME. I've said all I need to. I am going to mute Robert_'s post and move on with life.

[btbc92]

Oh I understand a lot. But you have to decide that between you and your spouse. There are men who don't mind doing so. All I am saying is what is your expectations? A man is supposed to lead. So both man or women bringing home financial means is not the issue. But the issue is when a man FEELS he doesn't have to just because he is a man. A woman was never supposed to work in these kinds of conditions like this. Not even a man. God called you that. If you don't want that then you shouldn't be involved with a woman on that level. You have ADHD, again nobody can judge you for what you couldn't control. But if because your ADHD it is preventing you from having the ability to perform, then is a sexual relationship on that level with a woman something you personally should invest in? I didn't make it this way. These are the expectations and rules. I don't judge you or any man. I am glad you can make that amount, more than me. But I would be more concerned for your health now and if I can emotionally and psychologically handle that. As long as you are able to keep that job and actually provide for yourself that is what I expect to see regardless of your education. Remember, it took me 10 years to get to college. A man like you would call me lazy because I always made 7.25 hours or had nothing. so PLEASE stop judging me. I personally rather he did. But if you can do something to help secure your ability to find other employment IF GOD forbid you can't maintain that job and they request that, then what? See if you never struggled like that to know what it is like to not even get that kind of job, which they would say I couldn't because of my conditions as well, you would make fun of me of being too broke.

[btbc92]

Nobody ever said your no good. that is your insecurities and putting words in my mouth I never said. Just that you may not be compatible with other women who already have, had, and grew up with that. I personally am starting out myself at the age I am at. I judge no one for or lack of. But how you choose to treat others because of what you have. I struggled too. Took care of my mom who had cancer, Ms, and many other problems. STill a caregiver and busting my back every day at home to another senior. Asthma and all. You don't see me not whining about hardly any help. I just say that for you especially if this is how you are behaving which is scary how you will treat me, then no. You can make a million or not have ADHD. If this is how you're going to treat me then no. I don't deserve to be emotionally hurt or abused and for to tell me how much you busted you behind to get it. That tells me you are not a person I could invest in because I do not need to be accused, judged and to get hurt because your hurt and feel rejected. That is not fair. And will not put that on my kids or myself who grew up with that attitude. Next your going to say I am a lazy woman, huh? You have no right to judge me like I never judged you.

[PoliteSpeaker]

To ignorant people probably. Most people think gathering knowledge is the key to life. It's not. If it was everyone in the states would be killing it. But nobody has a clue what I'm talking about so I'll shut up.

[Kartusha]

Most attractive guy I have seen didn't go to university I met him where I work part-time. If he had degree it would not make difference because I determine his attractivess by looks and by his personality. Most guys who study at uni or have degree seem to be too overconfident. I remember one guy got to law school and he was calling himself lawyer after first day of school. I study at uni too but it does not mean I find men there more attractive.

[kyleelyn199723]

Not really. Is he successful at his job? That’s what makes a man attractive in my eyes. My man doesn’t have a degree but his work ethic is sexy

[Gwenhwyfar]

Yes.

Damn! How’d you snag the screen name Robert? That’s gotta be super popular.

[Anonymous]

I wouldn’t even consider dating anyone without a college degree.

[SneakyPapaya]

Not really. A career choice can be sexy but not a piece of paper that could have cost thousands.

[pleaseloveme]

Yes but a hobby can also work. Basically anything that shows he's knowledgeable in a subject

[Blackcupcake]

Nope, university is not needed to make a man intelligent.

[Anonymous]

No guarantees come with a diploma. You can’t buy decent human quality’s.

[Better_off_here]

yes a man as i have seen it shows you are educated and you do have your priorities all right. and you have what it takes to make the life you want coming true.

[Fukaroo]

Makes him look like a dick

[Anonymous]

only if it leads to the $$$$$

[karaspara]

No not by itself

[ChrisMaster69]

Nope

[In_Trance]

not at all

[yellowkitten]

Yes, for sure.
