Guys, would you get into a relationship with a PhD student?

Question

Would you date a woman who is a PhD student yes or nah?

Part2603 · Accepted Answer

It would be a negative from a statistical perspective, most guys don't find themselves that attracted to the type of woman that would be the PhD type.

That is to say that you're a little of the beaten path, a bit eccentric in that sense.

I personally, am in the normie and red pilled camp, I feel more attracted to girls more interested in being a wife and mother than pushing the boundaries of knowledge. Also I kinda feel that education is more or less a scam these days. I'm guessing your PhD. Is in bullshitology?

But if you're an actual intellectual, it wouldn't be an issue, I don't value dumbness.

Anyway! You're unusual and most guys won't respond to you, but you already knew that, you just keep on doing you, and some guy will think you're the bee's knees.

Unlikely. That probably means she is going to be in college for quite a few years still and will have huge loan debt when she is finished. So either she will be focused too much on a career to have a family, or she will have a family and waste her degree, which means she would expect me to pay for her wasteful degree loans.

A woman's degree/income doesn't make her more appealing, but if it causes her to incur huge debt it can make her less appealing. For example, a woman making $80k per year starting out that has very little time for me and kids is not nearly as appealing as a woman that works part time and has plenty of time for me and kids.

SteveSmith1985 · Answer

I don't even understand this question. Is it because as a PhD student you're so busy the relationship would suffer?

Otherwise I can't imagine why anyone WOULDN'T date a PhD student.

This is like asking: "guys, would you ever date a pretty girl with a great personality?“

Yes.🙂

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Absolutely! I have a professional degree and I value intelligence in a partner!

cth96190 · Answer

No, because:
1. A doctoral candidate would not have time for me.
2. She would have been subjected to the full Communist/Feminist mind fuck at university.
3. I would not wish to become responsible for a student debt that would be the size of a home mortgage. That would nuke my loan servicability in any bank’s calculation.

PeteBy · Answer

Yup. No problem. Remember book smart doesn't mean street smart. I have four cousins. Three teachers and an architect. On their chosen subject, intelligent but all dumb as a box of rocks in general.

Having a degree in a subject doesn't make them the Oracle.

ArrowheadSW · Answer

If I was younger and in a position to be dating a woman who is a PhD student, I would consider it. Odds are she would be very busy, but I'm not the kind of guy who needs to see someone everyday anyway. So it could work out.

On the flip side, I was dating a lady who HAS a PhD last year. She was cool but didn't know jack about anything beyond her PhD... LOL

Light909090 · Answer

Most definitely
I’m smart and I value Logic and intelligence and believe emotions are the number 1 cause of evil.
I would be proud to date A girl that is beautiful and has a PHD
And I wouldn’t be afraid to say she’s my girlfriend even if I dated a dumb girl I would never admit to dating her and if questioned by someone if I’m dating that certain girl I would deny it even if she was there in the room with the person asking me that.

It just means they're into research. I have some great friends that I know that are research doctors. I also have a good friend that is a research scientist in grain sciences. He can tell you all the factors of a whole wheat grain and what's the most important part of the grain. He can also tell you the difference between genetically modified grains.

KittyBox · Answer

Listen, whether or not your a PhD student is irrelevant, if I don't like you, I won't pursue you, If I have no interests that I can share with you, I also, won't pursue you. If I find your personality a chore to deal with, well: I won't pursue you.

Whether or not you are studying for a PhD or trying to win best woman of the year award, if you don't meet any of those 3 requirements, I don't give a toss.

Hydrogen · Answer

Nothing is sexier in a woman than a healthy body and mind, when she takes care of herself and has a clear vision of who she wants to be in the future. I also don't have a problem with her paying her studies or starting a business as an entrepreneur, I think that is exactly what I'm looking for for myself in the future, simply said intelligent, positive (most of the time) & loyal - perfection.

Aakash_Hangargi · Answer

If she's a women why not lol , but would she be interested and what would be her interests can she keep aside the achievement and look respectfully if i am not a doctrate? Otherwise no problem

ODC2112 · Answer

Well, I have a PhD. I dated other PhD students there is not much difference; they are still women. The problem lies in many uneducated men who feel inferior.

CerberusXXL · Answer

I enjoy a relative intelligent conversation from time to time, as long as the lady doesn't hold her accomplishments over her mans head constantly treating him like a dumb ass, there will be no problems. Just because a person does not have a degree in any field doesn't mean they are slow or stupid.

TroyDT · Answer

In what field? Gender Studies? Marxist Theory? No. But I have dated two J. D.'s, so having a doctorate is not an issue for me.

EaterPeter · Answer

Don't know. Just thought about it. As much as I love miss smarty pants. They are bit too smart and comes with lot of student debt.

CuriousMufuxka · Answer

That's the time to be single! Passion over pussy or dick.

Anonymous · Answer

For sure... Specially if her PhD research was on "How to have a married life with 65 years of daily sex sessions that last 2 hrs consistently ".

Sixgunsound · Answer

There would certainly be other factors besides that to consider whether or not to get into a relationship with someone.

genericname85 · Answer

probably no. not because i have a problem with the fact that she's smart. but i'd prefer that she's done with the phd cause then she actually has time for a relationship.

Adam1978 · Answer

Not a issue unless it's in something stupid like gender studies.

Browneye57 · Answer

Guys don't care about your education. They care about YOUR level of attraction and desire for THEM. Everything else is nearly irrelevant.

Surely · Answer

Hopefully she would be able to allow a little time for some intimate time together. It would show her determination to get ahead and not afraid of working.

crossdressingrihno · Answer

Nah I’m a special little flower and need more attention than that

worldscolide · Answer

Sure. No issues with it as long as she's not expecting a handout from Biden to pay her debt.

Avicenna · Answer

Yeah, I would, especially if it's in an interesting discipline.

MrTaboo · Answer

Why wouldn't I. I've seen plenty of PHDs screw up in life. PhD just means you went to far to much school to memorize and regurgitate information far longer than anyone else.

Makeushiver · Answer

If it were an attractive or interesting PhD student absolutely

HighlyQuestionable · Answer

Of course, as long as my education wasn't a problem for her.

bobby_bush_eater · Answer

No I hate girls that are intelligent (not). As long as it isn't a PhD in something utterly ridiculous then it would be a plus.

AndrésC64 · Answer

Maybe. I would love the fact that she's educated and motivated, but that also means that she may not have much time for a relationship.

Juxtapose · Answer

So long as she doesn't try and pretend that makes her better than me than sure.
