Is a person who has zero university degrees a turn off for you for dating?

[Anonymous]

I have zero university degrees but I’m employed full time cleaning houses for people with disabilities

[blueonblack22]

Fuuuuck no. Im a college grad and the longer I’ve been around the more I realize that a piece of paper means nothing. What matters is if you are successful. I’ve met plenty of smarter and more successful people than myself that didn’t go to college.

That doesn’t mean college is useless. Of course it isn’t. But what did you actually learn at your time there? Did you learn a hard skill that makes you more valuable to society? Or did you get a degree in lesbian dance theory?

There is a difference between getting an education vs getting an indoctrination.

[Avicenna]

No, degrees are not in any way a requirement. We just have to be interesting to each other, and that doesn't require degrees.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

My ex didn’t have a degree. He is very successful now :)

However his success road wasn’t easy. When I met him he was just starting out and was far from reaching his goals. But he is 28 and he’s been doing wonderful. I always believed in him and knew that he was born to win.

Which he is proving always.

[IslaTheWitch]

I don't care... I'm more interested in their personalities than degrees

[AviatorTom]

No, some of the smartest and well-rounded people in the world only graduated high school, and several didn't even do that.

[coachTanthony]

Nothing like dating someone with an outdoor education degree lmao

[Miristheiss]

As a man it is a turn on.

Feminists, career first women, sexually promiscuous, pro divorce, leftists, anti family and children and faith.

The odds for all of those go up with college indoctrinated women, more apt to get promiscuous women F-ing around and partying, more apt to get women wanting to wait until they are 30 before they start thinking of settling down.

However, my wife has a bachelor's and masters degree. She wasn't a partier though and spent her early 20's in church and hanging out with her sister and friend. Her sister and friend married friends of mine.

[dustybiker2]

Every single female cheater I know is republican. I tried not to do this math. I also try not to box people I know.. But when reading your words just had to share.

[blueonblack22]

@dustybiker2 it’s not just about a political identity someone has. It’s a pervasive problem in our culture that impacts women (and some men) whether they realize it or not.

[dustybiker2]

@blueonblack22 That is basically my same point I am making sharing this. It isn't a leftest or a rightest thing. In my case it happens to be heavily leaning right, but rationally, it's people giving themselves permission to cheat.

[Miristheiss]

@dustybiker2
You are changing the point to be just about cheating and then making some ridiculous claim that right leaning cheat and left leaning are faithful. Obviously that is BS.
The point is feminism, the birth control pill, sexual revolution, the worship of individualism kicked in big in the 60's/70's. Since then if you want a virtuous, family oriented woman who doesn't believe worshipping a job is her greatest asset and way to fulfillment, who isn't a radical feminist and part of sleazy hook up culture, your odds go down when dating college women.

[dustybiker2]

@Miristheiss I was commenting on the part of your opinion that stuck out, I changed nothing. That is how conversations happen.
Your most resent comment is still extreme and unrealistic. in my opinion
There are good people (non radical) out there. It's who they are choosing to be attracted to, and that might not be you, that might be what is upsetting you.
Anyway. Not looking for an argument. Respect your opinions. Only a random share.

[zagor]

That is not wholly accurate. A lot of girls don't got to U precisely because they are too busy partying and screwing around. And going straight to work from HS makes them more likely to meet older guys who want to bang them.

[Miristheiss]

@dustybiker2
Look at the feminist ploy. Shaming.
"they are not attracted to you, that might be what is upsetting you."
If you read my first response I'm married. I have 2 kids.
Obviously you must have gone to college. You are claiming that there is no general correlation in the numbers of promiscuity, divorce, career first, acceptance of the social sciences propaganda that feminism is good for society and culture and that women are oppressed and that denying their biology and working a 9-5 job is a woman's greatest legacy and that marriage, family are oppression. God giving women breasts and the reproductive role and that kids take over a decade to mature is men oppressing women. Mother nature biology has nothing to do with it... society oppresses women by them having children.

I'm reading between the lines but your wild insinuation about cheating and then trying to shame me are hints that you've got some feminism in you and that you are all about career.

Regardless. The divorce rates initiated by college educated women is higher. College educated women vastly prioritize a 9-5 job over having a family. They've been sold the promise that working for some boss and stressing in traffic both ways for an hour a day brings more joy than working for your family. Putting off kids until 35 is totally fine and always works out. You've bought that argument. Are you a lesbian? I am a man commenting on whether I find women without college degrees a turn off. It is more of a turn on. You can chime in about men without college degrees a turn off. Women don't really get to dictate what men find attractive or not. I'm not going to tell you what you SHOULD find attractive. Your gut will do that naturally.

[blueonblack22]

@dustybiker2 miritheiss does have a point. It’s not like any woman who is raised conservative doesn’t make bad choices. But leftist women have been raised in an environment where their shitty and selfish behavior is not only considered justified but “good”.

Personally I don’t care if a woman wants to be a “career woman” and wants to put off marriage and/or kids. Most men are NOT upset or “intimidated” by that. It’s when these women get depressed and angry about bring voluntarily lifelong childless/unmarried and they try to project their unhappiness on to men (complaining about “patriarchy”) when in reality their unhappiness is their own damn fault. THAT is what I have a problem with. Leftist women trying to double down and encourage other young women to be “free” (and miserable)

I am able to to take accountability for my own bad choices and where they have led me. But modern women are in deep denial about it. Instead they keep doubling down and doubling down. The leftist indoctrination they are receiving since TikTok, Democrat teachers in HS, wild leftist indoctrination in college and now even corporate culture aren’t helping.

At this point there is nothing men can do in my opinion. What we say just goes in one ear and out the other. Things won’t change until WOMEN wake up one day and realize this ideology is making them miserable. Some are already recognizing this but not enough.

[electromagnetic]

Not at all. When I first met my partner, he was making almost 6 figures and he didn’t have anything other than a highschool diploma. And he worked construction. He supported me while I was getting my degree, and now we switched. He doesn’t require the degree but figured it’ll help me continue to move up his company but having architectural knowledge under his belt also.

[RowenaRavenclaw]

Sometimes. It depends on the person. As far as I’ve seen, people with degrees tend to have more in common with me, but not people of all degrees. In fact, most people going to college are going because they don’t really know what they want to do with their life and that’s not good. If a person is ambitious and has goals, then number of degrees doesn’t really matter

[BoopBoopBeep]

Nope. I couldn't care less what you majored in, where you went to school, what you do for a living, as long as you're financially responsible and spend less than you make. I've known several women with HS or GED only making 6 figures. Far better than some gender studies major with 6-figures of debt.

[dustybiker2]

You need a degree for serious jobs. But not everyone wants to be a scientist, doctor or attorney and the like. There are lots of successful careers that do not require a money grubbing university. People get ahead by being driven with ideas, socially assertive, friendly, approachable. Or they get ahead by screwing people over with their driven ideas. I wouldn't have wanted to date the latter.

[worldscolide]

Not necessarily, see my response above. Im a systems architect, without a degree, and I make more than most people I know in the IT field. Been doing it since 2001..

[BCRanger10]

I hate to admit it, but at one point, it would have knocked a woman down a notch. After a couple of years though, I rethought that position. It's a moot point for me, as my wife has a degree. But if I were single now, it would not be an issue.

[Lara_Croft]

Not neccessarily, but probably if i'm being honest. I would want to know why he didn't go to college, if it's an intelligent answer, Praise the Lord and good for him otherwise praise the Lord but I won't be too sure. I have been told, I am supposed to chose a certain calibre of man, and I understand that given my own achievements and career but I think i'm not too rigid

[Chelsdope0]

Guys don’t care about that lol some may… but men are usually not worried about how much you make or your title … especially when they like you…. But it doesn’t hurt to boost yourself more… you can have other achievements that aren’t degree related.


I think your job is cool because that means you’re compassionate and kind.

[DarkWinterNights]

I wish people would stop conflating education and intelligence. College isn’t for everyone. If you’re passionate about something else or at least happy with your choices there is nothing wrong with that. You can always go back for a degree later in life.

[worldscolide]

Most men do not care what you make or if you've gone to college.. College in the states is largely useless to begin with.

I went to college in 2001.. I quit because it was not teaching me what I need to know. Instead I got my certifications. I carry over 100 industry standard IT certifications. This enables me to earn a high 6 figure income.. And yet college punks look down on guys like me.. So I laugh at them in debt free with a multi million dollar retirement fund.

[RingOfFire]

I come from a family of world class academic achievers who all have terminal degrees from top rated universities.

I would find what you do to be more interesting and endearing than anyone's academic credentials. It's meaningful work that makes a difference as opposed to debating about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

It certainly would NOT be a turn off for me. On the contrary, I would admire your work.

[KostasKouvalis]

Not at all. Education and intelligence aren't the same thing, and to me it's important that she's intelligent. But she can't be a high school drop out, and she needs to have ambitions. I don't mind her being a maid, but I don't want her doing that full time for the rest of her life.

[SoJust]

It doesn't matter to me whether someone has a university diploma or a high school diploma, they are both the same, it is vital for me that you should learn in practical life, not in school, school does not add anything to you, a diploma is just a piece of paper.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Nope. Some people don't know what they want to do or just don't care to go to college/university. I didn't because I don't know what jobs I can or can't do yet, and college is not a place for trial & error. Plus, no clue what I'd go there for.

[BadApple69]

I think guys would care less on how much or how little schooling a girl has. Girls on the other hand would care more on how much schooling a guy has. Most girls want a guy that can provide for them and their offspring.

[Biancam13]

No because university, to me, is a scam. Going to university or not going to university makes no difference as to who you are as a person, or how intelligent/motivated you are. And I went to university.

[Anonymous]

No. I despise people who equate a person's education or income to thier quality as a person. I'm less concerned with where she is at the moment. I'm concerned with where she's going. What her plans for the future are. How she plans to get there. What her passions are, what lights her up. Because life without dreams is no life at all.

[rosemilk]

nope. but if they have no job and no drive to do absolutely nothing with their lives, that's a turn off. and a really quick dealbreaker.

[WhitneySnow]

Not necessarily but I tend to like intellectual people in general. Also, I’m still young enough to date people who are in college or still will be.

[LadyKitty]

No because you can be successful without it.

[DextroShade]

Men don't give a fuck about your degrees or lack thereof. Honestly a college degree is more of a liability for a woman these days. We want women who are fit, feminine, friendly, cooperative, submissive, childless, and not hoes.

[Dinklex3]

No, lol.

My boyfriend doesn’t have a degree, but he’s working on it. Even if he didn’t, wouldn’t matter.

[sheikalana]

Having no degree is not a turn off. A turn off to me would be someone who's not career driven and not being ambitious.

[LazerBean]

Nope, my husband doesn't have a degree and he's doing fine

[Unit1]

Not necessary. I believe the wealthiest folks don't have or need a university degree.

Being wealthy is illegal. Otherwise it would be easy becoming wealthy.

[Cheapskate]

That is not what is important to me. And I don't have one myself.

[LiamJHayden]

No. I do not have one myself. I dropped out after freshman year because my business was doing so well. As long as she has her life in order, or at least a plan to get there, I am fine with it.

[slatyb]

No it's not. Intellectual compatibility is important, degrees are not.

[RealMarek]

My love has zero college degrees and I think she’s amazing, so no.

[Anonymous]

I bet men will say it’s not more than women. Just a hunch. As in men won’t mind but women will want their men educated.

[Staximus]

I don't care about that. I think women with college degrees care about that much more than guys do

[KaDooKan]

hahahaha

majority of women are graduating college

you are going to have to accept that you will be alone with that mindset

its basic math

[jahaims]

The opposite. They were intelligent enough to not waste time or money

[zagor]

No. Most creative fields don't require a degree.

[OtterMan68]

not as long as she was smart, inquistive, and loved to learn

[JayBones2469]

Absolutely not. I have employees with university degrees and they are dumb as fuck.

[John_And_Elijah]

No, a degree doesn't mean shit! I'm smarter than most men with a PhD.

[NathanDavis]

I don't care... never have

[Nikki1989]

Nah, I wouldn't care about that.

[TommyMountainFigure]

I think the job you do is invaluable!

[wiltingrosepetal]

Can't imagine why that would be a red flag

[MaybeTony]

I prefer educated women.

[Agent_Elflord]

Nope, not a problem to me

[RossyBoi]

No it's not a turn off.

[noohair]

Many college grads today are idiots.

[LavLavLuv]

Nope

[Jamie05rhs]

No; not at all.

[ballweevil]

of course not

[Slim57]

Nope

[Anonymous]

No, absolutely not.
