Is a lack of education a turnoff in a potential love interest?

[Anonymous]

Say, at least a two-year college degree, if not more?

I'm not going to really enjoy talking with anyone who does not value academical knowledge. There's a chance she can compensate for that if she traveled in different countries. But all of this is very theoretical because, in practice, sociology applies in most cases, so I'm developing affinities for girls belonging to social groups similar or adjacent to mine.

If she finished high school (or even dropped out before her senior year) I’m good with it


Basically if she’s a complete illiterate then I’d be concerned as to why that is


But otherwise her education level is of no consequence to me

A lack of formal education isn’t. But a lack of desire to learn and grow mentally and emotionally is.

A two year degree, is not because you have goals and ambition.

[sinestro23]

not a degree or anything like that but if they don't read, don't understand me when I'm talking "because I use big words", or don't know basic grammar then hell no lol

[lorenzomichael]

I wouldn’t give a fuck if she couldn’t count to 23 or even work a microwave so I don’t think it a turn off as a potential love interest. However it might make it difficult in certain situations. But if she’s good for me and me for her well then everyone else could go fuck themselves.

Ignorance is fixable, willful stupidity is a dealbreaker. You can’t Google ‘common sense.’

I couldn't care less. I don't care if they have a PhD or dropped out of kindergarten. However I would never date an "education snob" who looks down their nose at anyone who does not have an advanced degree.

[RavVid]

Not to me. It is not something I look for in a girl. I would give higher priority to genuinely nice and being family oriented. I've got enough education for both of us.

[ProbablyClueless]

No, not if I see that she's curious and capable of critical thought.

Yes , I like somebody who can intellectually challenge me

[Anonymous]

nope. education is irrelevant because women aren't expected to use their education to benefit the relationship nor do they do

she only needs to be smart enough not to make dumb decisions i. e. hoeing around or attempting to cheat

[Phoenix98]

If she finished high school that's good enough for me.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Yes, because as a man with a 160 IQ, I'd find it very difficult to relate to a dumb broad.

[najekim]

Nope. Lack of a formal education (or indoctrination nowadays) doesn't mean a person isn't intelligent.

[qwerty2469]

Some of the dumbest people in Corporate life are highly educated. Paying to learn stupid shit is the hight of stupidity

[Anonymous]

Yes, intelligence is a requirement for me, financial especially

[MOUTHWASHING]
