i was talking to my ex and his friends. we are still good friends. he said how he knew some asian girls these who won;t date guys with no bachelor degree . a diploma in omputers or a cert in aircraft tech, a chef cert or a certification won't even do. on top of it the degree it has to come from a well known university too ubc, sfu, can;t be from cap college, douglas , kwantlen.....etc and he has to have a well paying job in a certain field like comp sci, CA, lawyer, pharmacy, something that is or tends to make lots of money when you finish. ...etc too the higher the education the better. .a liberal arts degree, pscy degree won;t do. the girls won;t even look at u if you don;t have a least a bachelor and on top of it you and your family must own a nice house or even more than one.
what do you guys think , are you girls like this now

No

Consider if I was an affluent male. It would be trivial to find women that would be more than happy to use me for a nice lifestyle. Yes ..some women are like this but they're pretty obvious and depending on sheer luck they may or may not be successful in their relationship.

To have money and be dating is a curse because you may fool yourself into believing that every woman really enjoys you for just being you but the doubts would have to creep in every now and then.

Sometimes I wonder ethically what seperates prostitution from loveless marriages for the money other than length of service.

yes, well,I guess if you want an asian woman,you'd better be able to support her...does that go for mexican women too?...so,these guys on here who complain about women being gold diggers and then in the same breath say that asian women are better than american women in that they are more appreciative,easy to get along with,or whatever,maybe they are just saying that so that american women feel bad and get more desperate....BTW..there are lots of men on here who would like to be supported by women too and want a woman who is financially stable or at least has some potential for supporting herself and him too(would be nice)..you wanna play?..I guess you gotta pay...

Well, on the one hand I would say that these women are looking for a intelligent man. However, experience tells me that they are just shallow women looking to be taken care of. I can understand why a woman or man for that matter would only want to date people that have the same level of intelligence. But you don't need a degree to be intelligent.
These women sound like gold diggers. They seem to think a man isn't worthy unless he has a high paying job. To me, that makes those women less worthy.

I see nothing wrong with having certain preferences or standards for those you date as long as they are equal with what you have to offer in return. Far too many women think they can attract high level executives and professions with nothing more than a pretty face. Women are expected to be as accomplished as the men they marry these days and that's a good thing.

Ok


a diploma in omputers or a cert in aircraft tech, a chef cert or a certification won't even do.

O-ok


on top of it the degree it has to come from a well known university too ubc, sfu, can;t be from cap college, douglas , kwantlen

Hmmmm. My degree is a BS in programming from Maryland University, that count?
Or does it have to be from a college that is thousands of mile from my home.
Do they have a top five list of the best schools in the US memorized?


etc and he has to have a well paying job in a certain field like comp sci, CA, lawyer, pharmacy, something that is or tends to make lots of money when you finish.

So, in other words a job with a high social status, something to brag about to your girlfriends.


on top of it you and your family must own a nice house or even more than one.

So my money aint good enough, I have to have rich folks too. A family dynasty.
(Checking my family tree, looking to see if I'm related to the Kennedys).

So if I work my A$$ off, got my Masters from Northwestern (top five computer college in the US right now) and I live in a mansion like house in north Chicago, but my father is dead and my mom is an aging pensioner living in a low rent distict north Baltimore , I'm not good enough?

If women are like this now, they are going to be pretty lonely women.
Pretty bad if their criteria in a man is how rich his FAMILY is.

It goes both ways. I won't seriously date a girl without at least a bachelor's degree either. Just my preference, feel free to bash me.

It's not so much the degree I guess but the quality of man. But superficial is superficial. If they are looking at the degrees only, they have a big disappointment coming.

When I first came to POF by fluke, there were two very persistent guys. One had a doctoral degree and I was mesmerized by his play of words. We had the online tingle. But came rejection time, he was the most boorish of all. His reactions were third grade.

The other one was very respectful and considerate and though he was not into highly intellectual conversations, he could carry his end of every discourse. Was I surprised to learn that he was a highschool graduate. Only, you would say but because his personality stood out, guess who I missed the most and who had implanted his footsteps in my heart.

It is not the degree or diploma but more of the potential to use one's experiences in building onself to be a productive member of the society. Success is what one makes of it. There are many millionaires who do not hold a high-almighty degree. It really depends on the person and his ability to arm himself with social graces and intellectual power to be in a successful relationship with his SO.

I guess there are women (men as well) who look to dating as an easy way to improve their social and financial standings.

They don't have to be Asian to feel that way. There are women and men of all ethnic groups that feel that way. Some just have preferences like that, maybe its a turn on. The ones that do it just to improve their social and financial standings are just shallow, and I would rather not know them anyway.
I don't care if I find a woman that is homeless and on the streets that didn't even complete school. We can build our empire together, instead of one person living off the other. As long as she is willing to work hard.

I've run across a few of those type Asian women, but even more white women. I don't hold it against them for having an evolutionary need to seek a worthy provider. In fact those type of women are being more honest than some of the others. Same goes for the more demanding women who say they're holding out for that rich, tall, handsome, buff congressman with limo service.

As a guy, you have a choice:

1) try to qualify yourself (with a resume) to her in hopes of getting a date (job interview) from the little princess and pay lots of money to be kept on the list of her possible providers and hopefully outbid the competitors to win the job

2) turn the tables and make her meet your standards for adventurousness, spontaneity, generousity, fun, open-mindedness, etc.

I've had these type women run through their list of qualifications. They never find out that I'm a prematurely retired licensed engineer from a top 5 school, own 27 rentals properties free and clear, have a few stock accounts and a father that is an attorney. I usually tell them that I set a record on filling and wrapping 48 tacos in a minute at Taco Bell and that I expect her to drive when she takes me out because my 50cc scooter is in the shop. Keep them laughing and many of these type women will be paying the way and bringing you gifts.

Really? Never? The ease with which you broadcast this here makes that statement even more self aggrandizing than the way you wrote/meant it.

This is a very polarizing and over generalized, often repeated,topic here and its a shame it made it past the deletion phase.

Exactly, Obsidian71. I find it ironic that some of those who have high demands do not really have anything worthwhile to bring to the table, well, not considering big boobs of course or when it involves men, you know...

Then someone is missing out. A degree may mean something on paper, however personalty and drive carries you further in life than any degree does.

Top 10 richest Americans..

Only 8 have college degrees. Yep even Bill Gates never finished. If you are typing this on a Dell PC.. he dropped out too.

One of the top ten only completed 8th grade Sheldon Adelson then he made it to NY city collage and dropped out of that too. . Believe it or not. Yet he is a self made billionaire worth about 35 billion. I guess is is a looser for sure.. LOL

So in this case these women would reject 8 diffract self made Billionaires because of their standard, but the kindergarten teacher making 35K a year is superior.

Well said.

I once took a class in which a feminist author argued that the difference between a wife and a prostitute is simply job security:)

Well.... degrees, masters, phd and so on don´t really show if u are intelligent or not.. Come on.. a lot of people pass it with bad grades, cheating and so on.. It´s true that it helps u to get a great job but it doesn´t mean that u will be able to keep it.. haha.. Don´t misunderstand me.. I do have a career and i wanna go for my masters and so on but i wanted to show that intelligence is not related with degrees or jobs all the time..

Of course that i need someone that could be smarter than me but not because he could gain more money or whatever ... What i really need is someone with whom i can really talk about whatever subject, smart and great personality.. after all... outside beauty ends one day..

I forgot to say that there are a lot of kind of intelligence??? well.. that could be a great subject to discuss later..

Anyways... I wanted to say that I have an uncle who is mailman... But he is one of the smarter people that i´ve ever known... Of course he had a degree and he had such a great job in NY ( tooooo demanding and stressing) but he moved with his family to Florida and took the job that he wanted not because it was what he got but because it was his choice.. he is still investing and so on but in private.. He and his family are happyyyyyy... And trust me.. U could see them like a normal family but omg.. my cousins are really smarttttttttttt.. and my aunt too of course hahah.

Most of the responders here have taken the question at face value, which may be an "outsider's" view of the issue. This question doesn't come out of the blue (yes, I checked out your profile etc, OP). There seems to be a small but still significant proportion of the asian american (or canadian etc) community who have some serious angst about who someone should or should not be dating, couched in terms of "these sorts of people" not being good enough for "those sorts of people". I suspect that this requirement of having at least a "good bachelor's degree", followed by a "good profession" is not so much about intelligence or [purely] money, as it is about a class divide between successful and unsuccessful sorts of people. How success is defined is, to a great extent, a matter of upbringing, and asian parents are stereotyped to push certain professions and certain educational programs over others.

makes sense to me.

I for one am not after a tavern babe, or a lady with tattoo's or lots of piercings.
Not my type

I am for an intelligent woman, and smarts, and has achieved something in life.

reason for this - - - I'm in my 50's and I am very much not interested in some
woman that has been on welfare for most of her life or working, min wage jobs all of her life

So I want to see that she has the same work ethic that I have - - -

Now young girls will get talking - - -

now were these girls that were talking going to college and stuff like that or - - - -

I can see college girls going - - I want a man that has gone to college, and not simply a blue collar worker or heaven forbid a guy that is going to be close to mjn wage all of his life.

at their young age - - what proof do they have about what the future is going to bring with their man. - - - -

at my age, it is looking at what she had done in her life - - -

Why at my age, a college graduate, home owner, business owner, Electronics Engineer, patents in my name - - want a welfare mother. or a woman that wants to party all the time and is the reason she has achieved nothing and is still at my age range in min wage job, would I be interested in her?

It is about finding the best life partner - - - and some at the young age will dream.

Cuts both ways. What proof does that "Sugar Daddy" in the making have that this woman is going to fulfill what he wants? As always dating/marriage is entering into the void and some of these women will find a happy life and some will find themselves miserable regardless of the education or pedigree of the mate they choose. I wish'em luck.

well maybe some are but not all . it would really depend on what circles of friends they had or what kind of lifestyle they are currently living . some girls just have really high standards in certain areas and certain expectations in life .

I don't think it really matters, doesn't seem to help me that much.

Really when you meet someone, you don't know how much they make or what their education level is, the only thing you have to go off of is looks and charm.

Plus girls say they want a succesful guy, but in the end they're never attracted to the nerdy types.

As individual human beings with limited free will, these girls/women/chicks/female human entities are free to set whatever standards they want. However, I'm really curious why they think that they can beat out 95% of all other women trying for the same darn thing. They're probably in a for a very rude awakening.

Chances are we'll see them on POF in a few years wondering where all the good men are!
