I listen to this talk radio show "Love, Lust and Lies" and this was the topic today:

"Are men intimidated by women with a higher level of education then themselves,and if you are a woman with a degree or two, would you/do you date men who never attended college?"


I have my Bachelors in Special Education/Psychology and I plan on entering grad school soon to peruse a Masters in Psychology and or Education, but I have never dated anyone with a degree higher than an Associates. I guess I never thought about it. but,I did have an ex tell me he was jealous of my university education.


I wonder what you guys honestly think.

Anyone who is, isn't worth dating.

Only if their penis is bigger than mine.

men are bunk bitches. if you make more money than they do or if you're smarter than they are they can't cope.

gay men are the exception.

Men do have an issue with women who make more money than them

I personally don't, but I do see that happen a lot.

Byron said:

yup

subhuman09 said:

Ok I'm sorry

Most men have an issue with women who make more money than them.

Sweeny79 said:

No they don't! Only fools that like to "feel" that they are better than their partner would think like that. If the woman is making more money.....good on her! I sometimes worry about the attitude of some woman that feel that the man has to earn the money.

althom said:

I took it back and said "Most men"

It's not an issue for me either, it seems I'm always the one who makes more money, the only thing about it that bugs me is sometimes I want to go places and do things with my partner and can't because they don't have enough money.

It's a really good show.

Sweeny79 said:

Yeah, they're damn hard to find, that's the issue...

althom said:

I don't believe I'm doing this

But....Co sign

Smart girls are sexy.

Sweeny79 said:

That problem works both ways. I go with the attitude that if it's something that I wanted to do and I have the money for it....then I'll pay.

althom said:

Exactly...I've never had that mindset of "who pays?"...I always just assume I'm paying, no matter what...if we're involved and she makes more than I do, then I hardly care if she pays or not lol...But I do love being the one who provides everything for an evening out, or a weekend away ...I don't want her to have to think about anything other than joining me.

I want a smart, educated girl who uses her brains and can succeed and wants to be independent. It means she will only love me for me.

I hate all these sexist remarks. "Men are bunk bitches". And none of this "most" nonsense. "Most" is still a generalization.

Fuck it. I get so mad when I hear these generalizations, like men are a bunch of snivelling assholes who have their heads stuck so far up their asses that they don't believe everyone should have the same opportunities to succeed.

Byron said:

Actually, on the show today they said that women enrolled in college in the school year 2003- 2004 outnumbered men enrolled in college in the same year by 36%


African American men were outnumbered 3 to 1 by african American women enrolled last school year.

And traditionally women recieve better grades than men.


So Byron I get to finally tell you, when it comes to people my age, YOU WRONG!

Byron said:

I always want to split stuff, or take turns paying.

But ok, for example, I would REALLY love to go to the Bahamas in March. I can afford it, but Pill can't. I can't afford to pay for us both, so I can't go, well at least not with my partner. That's what i meant by not having enough money.

savoirfaire said:

I'm sorry I offended you... I guess I should say, "Most men I have contact with...."

Sweeny79 said:

Yes, but women are paid $.77 for each dollar a man is paid...so there ya go..lol

Byron said:

Still?????


Not teachers we all get paid the same

Sweeny79 said:

If not being able to go to the Bahamas is what's bugging you, then count yer blessings and go somewhere else that you both can easily afford...

Sweeny79 said:

Then go by yourself....or pick a spot that both of you can go together.

Me and Byron are sounding like twins here.

Byron said:

I know, I said it wasn't an issue for me, just the only time money really enters the situation.

althom said:

Yeah, I know..

I say you post more pictures-you're bound to find someone that's willing to pay their way.
