| Do women have apprehensions about dating a man who's more educated than they are?
Posted: 1/17/2008 12:01:07 PM | | It wouldn't bother me to date someone who has more education than I do b/c, quite honestly, that doesn't mean he's even as smart as I am, but simply that he has more education in a particular field. Nor would it bother me to date someone who is obviously more intelligent than I am. I'm secure in my intelligence. | |

Posted: 2/4/2008 5:04:08 PM | Op....I believe that we are all educated differently...some through books while others through LIFE experiences. That however does not make one wiser then the other. Many of my friends have the alphabet behind their names and I am more then capable of carrying my own through conversations on most levels. I have a few years of university but did not finish my degree....however I am returning in the fall of 2008.
I believe that a persons education level does not ALWAYS separate them from those more academically inclined...Educated men or women are still just men and women and will have intellectual conversations with colleges and friends as well as day to day chatter. You obviously would not talk to a person who holds a doctoral in physics if you did not know what you are talking about ........so in some circumstances this might seem intimidating to some.
But I am a glutton for punishment and throw myself into it and most are gentle and it is a wonderful learning experience. You are never to old to learn!!!!!!! | |

Posted: 2/4/2008 5:44:46 PM | | I'd love it personally. I'm happiest when I'm learning something new and work really well with men similar to me in that regard. Its even better if they know tons about a topic I know very little about. I've never been intimidated by a man's education or intellect. We all have something to offer. If he's willing to share and isn't an elitist, then his intellect is a definite asset. | |

Posted: 2/5/2008 2:14:45 PM | | Absolutely not. At least for me. I'm well educated and I'm dating doctor, but the best thing about it, level of education notwithstanding, is intellectual equality. Of course chemistry is vitally important, but you can't stay in the sack all the time, so when most women look for a companion it's someone they can relate to on myriad levels of compatibility. | |

Posted: 8/31/2008 7:44:38 PM | | Wouldn't bother me because I'm more educated than most people. Sounds like you need to answer the question for yourself first. You might be the kind of guy who simply doesn't enjoy the company of intelligent women. That's perfectly OK. I know I enjoy being around people who are intellectually challenging because I grow and learn from them. I'm also easily bored. | |

Posted: 8/31/2008 7:55:04 PM | I crave it! Like others here I totally agree with the statement "intelligence" does not necessarily equate with education.
What I love is an articulate, intelligent man who thinks about things, is interested in the world and has an opinion about what's going on. How he came to be that articulate, intelligent man is irrelevant to me.
I have only dated one very educated man. And I absolutely loved it. He was waaayyyy "smarter" than me, in that he was so widely read and knew so much about things he was passionate about. It was a little initmidating at times.
But he was never condescending about it in the least and that is the key thing I think.
Unfortunately he was a bit of an emotional cripple! Sigh.....can't have it all I guess. | |

Smarts and education on a clean cut man are somehow predictable, therefore boring, I'd rather see a bit of rebel in this guys. Like a nerd looking fool with revolutionary ideas. Or the good momma's boy who is quite the kinky.
Once I met a thug so posh. Huge jeans, cornows, extremely articulate with a PHD. The contrast was so unexpected it became curiously amusing. We became good pals, and everyday I wonder how come girls don't melt completely at his presence.
But hey, it takes a smart person to appreciate this type of things ;) | |

Posted: 9/4/2008 9:38:09 PM | | I love dating individuals who stimulate my brain. Infact, I do not waste my time on men who aren't pretty well rounded in the education department. I do however strongly dislike the ego that can come attatched to intelligent individuals. As if all that information is a secret power in which they use to feel better than others... It can intimidate me at times considering some topics I don't know much if anything about...but that's where the learning potential comes into play...Learning from eachother is amazing...sex is good too :P | |

Posted: 9/5/2008 5:50:34 AM | | I think it depends on the guy. If he's constantly trying to make me feel stupid or pointing out that he knows more than me, that's going to be a turn off. However I'm a little weird in that I like to learn more about different topics. My ex probably taught me more about RC cars than I should ever possibly know and I love spending time with guys that have different interests, just so I can learn more. | |
