It isn't that guys don't like educated women. A woman's education just takes a lower priority to a guy, that a guys education does to you. Why do you think so many more women are in college than men? It is because men simply don't see education as a means to attract the opposite sex, because it isn't something we value as strongly. Men and women aren't attracted to the same things, and keep mistakenly thinking that the other gender should be attracted to the same things we are attracted to.
Being educated isn't going to hurt your chances, but it won't do you any favors either. The standards for what a man considers educated are just not the same as yours. As long as she can hold a conversation, and not be a burden to us, then she is smart enough for most men.
I know people who are "educated" that can't even spell simple four letter words that even the most illiterate hillbillies can spell, such as deer. It seems all you have to do to get "educated" nowadays is show up and pay your tuition. And then there are some subjects that are so stupid and useless being educated in them is actually a turn-off. Like if you have a degree in Women's Studies or Whiteness Studies or Queer Theory, I'm not going to take a word you say seriously. I do find intelligence in a woman to be attractive, though.
Being smart is always a good trait but its not enough just being "smart" in order to be attracted to them. It goes beyond that.

Indeed. The general term is that if she doesn't like Twilight and 50 Shades of Crap, then she's probably a decent person already.
Seriously though, intellectual compatibility is a factor.
I don't think I'm a good judge of my own attractiveness. But I am well read and consider myself highly educated. And I place a high value on the intelligence of a women I'm in a relationship with. She needn't have gone to college but she does need to care about ideas. She needs to be able expess herself well. Her looks will one day fade, her boobs will one day sag.. My body will decline as well. What matters in the end is can we TALK to each other about things that matter to us. Any way that's my two cents.
Being educated doesn't bring any extra points in my book. Being educated isn't especially hard.
Being a good, moral and decent human being on the other hand is. And that is what counts in my book. Besides, being smart and being educated are two completely different things.
Sure educated is nice, but so is attractive. I consider myself an educated guy (fancy college, grad school, etc.), but while I appreciate a girl with solid academic credentials, the truth is when it comes to attraction looks and personality usually mean more. I'd generally prefer a girl who I find physically attractive, who is fun and nice and reasonably educated, over one who is substantially less attractive, fun and/or nice but who is substantially better educated.
As long as she is not a pretentious fuckwit, then yes I admire and find a well educated woman an extremely attractive proposition.
Of course we do, I need her to actually be able to hold conversation and share her ideals with me!
It's probably just your experience maybe you are not giving a warm vibe but then again I don't know you
I care more about intellect than education. By the time someone is 18, or perhaps even before then, education is more of a symptom of intelllect, rather than a cause of it.
Yes I feel the same way, I can't date someone with just average intelligence.
yes goes towards us knowing you could be good breeding stock to carry on a good blood line
eeeehhh obviously
