Posted: 4/5/2008 3:45:02 PM | The question I have for the gals is " would you go out with a less educated guy"?
To me, It is really not important if you have a Bachelors, Masters, and PH.D, even the way they look.

Posted: 4/5/2008 3:48:55 PM | Of course I would. Intelligence is not determined by a degree. It is what you do with the brain cells you are given.
My grandfather had to quit school at 11 yrs old, to support his father who was blinded at his own job. He didn't stop learning just because he wasn't in school. He read books, and became a mechanic.
There is also "book smarts" and "common sense". | |

My ex hubby wasnt the brightest firework in the box when it came to scholastics.
BUT...he's a good hardworking man with a phenomenal head for figures...and is successfully running his own business.
A good work ethic, commitment and happiness makes a happy partner. | |

Posted: 4/5/2008 4:22:12 PM | Yep. A degree isn't necessarily the end-all indicator of intelligence. I have to be able to talk to him, but there are different kinds of intelligence.
Like Joey, from Friends. Very stupid on the surface, but obviously quite talented with emotional intelligence. ;)

Posted: 4/5/2008 4:35:24 PM | | Intelligence isn't determined by qualifications, so definitely yes. My father worked his way up, via a couple of traditional apprenticeships. He is a highly skilled man, a hard worker and is definitely very intelligent. He is socially very skilled too, a brilliant networker and a man who people automatically respect. You would be amazed at the things he has done in his life and he's endlessly entertaining. I would be lucky to meet someone with his creative and entrepreneurial qualities. The main thing that qualifications tell you is whether or not someone has had a similar experience to you and sometimes that really helps. But it's also interesting to learn of other routes in life too. | |

Posted: 4/5/2008 4:46:35 PM | | It depends what you consider intelligence. I have a hard time respecting a person who can't spell, and I don't mean some words, I mean pretty much anything. I would just want my guy to have logic and some basic knowledge. How to fix the basics in his car or help assemble some furniture. They don't need to be a surgeon or a lawyer. | |

Posted: 4/5/2008 4:54:10 PM | | Intelligence is a priority for me - but as others have said - it doesn't have to come with a piece of paper to prove it! I like an intellectual that can hold a decent conversation and hold his own in the community! | |

Posted: 4/5/2008 7:09:51 PM | Intelligence does not necessarily increase with the level of formal education one has received. It does not bother me if I'm the one who has received more formal education.
I dated a guy for many years who barely graduated high school. He could fix just about anything and was one of those guys you could just leave in the wilderness and he would totally have been able to survive it. At the time we were dating, he was one of the most hard working people I had ever known. Another LTR was with a guy who had two bachelor's degrees and he could barely hold down a job and was extremely careless with any money he was able to earn. It all depends on the person. I'll take a hard worker over someone with a boatload of degrees any day, even though those things don't necessarily have to be mutually exclusive. | |

Posted: 4/5/2008 10:14:33 PM | Dude... there's way more to being brainy than booksmarts.
There's... you know... er... other smarts!
I am so smart!
I am so smart!
S-M-R-T...
I mean... S-M-A-R-T!
I know plenty of doctors who can't program a VCR.
I know electricians who burn their toast.
I know architects that get lost in the mall.
Just because you don't have a fancy degree... doesn't mean you're not smart.
Those people are specialized. That doesn't make them better than you. Well, maybe in their field of study... :p
But everyone's good at something.
And if you have a good attitude, a positive outlook, a sense of commitment and drive... well, that's all that really matters. | |

Posted: 4/5/2008 10:45:36 PM | | Lol, definitely... I have not been involved with anyone with more/as many qualifications since my first boyfriend (who had a 14yr head start). If I restricted myself in that way I'd be an idiot. My PhD or other professional qualifications have absolutely no relevance within the context of a relationship, nor do they prove intelligence, only the way in which I chose to apply myself. My special someone dropped out of high school (went back and finished later). He has tons of construction and carpentry skills and a lot of understanding of psychology and knowledge of spirituality. I certainly consider him to be as intelligent as I am and would seek his opinion and advice before anyone else's. The next person whose intelligence about life I respect and would go to for advice is my mother. She left school at 16 with a couple of exam passes. These are the two people whose minds I most respect when it comes to life and relationships - being insightful, practical and compassionate. If I need a professional opinion about a specialist subject, well, that is what one pays professionals for. | |

I can work on cars, houses, anything. It's been my experience though that a lot of women don't appreciate those qualities in a man especially if one enjoys doing those things. My ex's would always complain when I'd work on my car or something along those lines considering it taking time away from them. I'd literally have to drop everything to get them to stop and in turn, that made me not want to spend any time with them. | |

Posted: 4/6/2008 1:33:50 AM | | I don't care how many initials a man has behind his name, so long as he can carry an intelligent conversation and has a decent job who cares about how he got there? I don't have oodles of education and I'm still a pretty good catch.... | |

Posted: 4/6/2008 2:55:38 AM | Absolutely!
I've met some real dumba$$ university educated people and real smart people without a high school education. What is important is that a person have an inquiring and open mind. Open to learning and growth - this does not mean academic learning. I dated someone briefly from POF who didn't know who our prime minister was. I don't even know that falls under... | |
