Is it important for partners to have similar levels of education in a relationship?

[HawkPerception]

Yes

No

This is a REALLY tricky question, because sometimes a very educated woman can't find a compatible guy who is her equal and doesn't want to keep challenging her 24/7 -- which is cute if you're classmates but annoying at home and trying to be romantic, you know? It's VERY RARE to find a guy who accepts an intelligent woman with advanced degrees.

There are a BUNCH of problems then related to salary/education, the schools a person went to and the overall "status" of both people.

If the guy is the more educated person then he usually doesn't get his back up about the girl's educational status.

[HawkPerception]

I personally find that guys don't really care about a girl's education or income level. I think what a guy doesn't like is a girl with an ego that throws the fact that she has a better education and income than him, at him all the time. Women tend to desire men that are equal or above them in terms of education, income, and status, whereas men don't care as long as the girl is physically attractive, maintains her health and appearance, is kind, and most importantly is compatible with him and makes him happy.

I'm not saying all women are like that, but I think the majority are.

Nope, as long as two people can contribute something to the relationship it shouldn’t matter.

[hahahmm]

Nope. A guy should not seek out a woman BECAUSE of her education level. In fact it is more likely she's going to be unhappy latter cause women have this biological desire to improve their status and a lot of women will think the guy is too close to her level. And before you say I'm making it up, I've seen it happen many, many times. Yeah there's exceptions to the rule too.

Yes. Incompatibility educationally is not desirable. The college educated one had the college experience and THAT makes a big difference. The masters level spouse has demonstritive qualities that will lead him/her to be much more discerning in dating.

*scoff* yea... lol Hawk. But no too as well on this one! Ha! Like desires like, and opposites attract. I don't need them to be on the same level, but in a career they are happy with as if they were on the same level.

[HawkPerception]

I agree 😁

[DizzyDesii]

I would like for them to have at least gone to a trade school if not college. But its not a must. A high school diploma is something i definitely want them to have but i’ve met great guys too who only had GEDs

[Drewtate]

No. My uncle's has a masters in psychology and her husband my uncle is a high school drop out. He's a very clever successful man and she is runner up at miss ohio, an ex college and high school cheerleader and brief model.

Education matters not. Their own intellect however does.
I don't want to date someone for example who thinks the world is flat because I know that's the dumb I don't want to be touching.

[SeriouslyNotSerious]

Not every individual with the same level of education could be a good fit, relationship-wise.

[madgoat]

No, intelligence and character are not defined by academic achievement. There are many ways for a couple to achieve parity.

[JonCobretti]

I don't think it honestly matters

[Jessikaah91]

Not at all

[Dongie]

Hell NO.
