skinnywhiteboy View Profile History	Education. Posted : 20 Jan, 2010 10:17 AM Ladies, thank you very much!! The honesty is truly appreciated!!!! Please keep it coming!!!!And goldenstarfish- feel free to use whatever "big" words you'd like to! Be as verbose or succinct as you choose, honestly!!! I took no insult, and had no difficulty comprehending what you'd written. I also am glad that many chose to take "on the job training" as an educational plus. I'm thoroughly enjoying your comments, thank you all so much!!!!! Post Reply
southerngrace09 View Profile History	Education. Posted : 20 Jan, 2010 03:58 PM I always look at at the educational part of this website. I find it very attractive if someone is educated. I think educating yourself is one of the best things that you can do. I like people that are driven. At the same time I know that school is not for everyone, so as long as someone has goals in life and are working to fufill those its alright. Post Reply

skinnywhiteboy View Profile History	Education. Posted : 21 Jan, 2010 07:11 AM I've noticed that many of the responses to this are that education goes hand-in-hand with perseverance, is that how I should be reading this? Do you have other "ways" to tell how driven a man is? I understand this is a dating website, and we all try and "sell" ourselves a bit, so hey education is one of the things they ask about and consequently gets looked at. So could y'all define perseverance a little more? For example-and this is true, I've worked 60-80 hour work weeks most of my life. My primary job is a grocery store, that gives me benefits, and lets me pursue my passion-cooking. For me it's worth it. However, in my field, I've had to fire people with degrees and training that far exceed my own. Anyone who's read Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain, or worked in one knows what I mean. Warning!!! THAT IS NOT A CHRISTIAN BOOK AND I'M NOT SUGGESTING YOU READ IT!!!! Are there other "clues" as to how much a man is willing to go through for the thing he loves? Post Reply
His Work In Progress View Profile History	Education. Posted : 21 Jan, 2010 05:35 PM In my book it is a person's attitute, not aptitude, that gets them any altitude. There is much to be said about a persons work ethic and perseverance in how they pursue their work life. We can self educate ourselves but knowledge will never end. Especially when growing in God's wisdom, light and love. But I think what most are trying to say here is that a higher education shows a level of discipline. I am not saying you are not disciplined. I myself have worked 60-80 hours in a grocery store a week and had another part time job on top of that. I had to be disciplined NOT to push that "snooze" alarm just ONE more TIME.. PLEASE DEAR LORD JUST 5 MORE MINUTES! But I digress... Having a degree on this site is like having extra Peacock feathers in your profile.. if you will. As for people not as higher educated like us .. we have a degree in the school of hard knocks my friend .. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :goofball: Post Reply
View Profile History	Education. Posted : 21 Jan, 2010 07:28 PM Perserverence? Well.... there are sometimes clues in a profile. What his hobbies are, for instance. How many children he has. Things he says about what his goals are and what he's interested in. I've read profiles where the man says right out he's a work-a-holic. Others that talk about being involved in local outreaches, or having a disabled child. All those are indications of perserverence. But the best way to know is to spend time together. Post Reply
sdsurfgirl View Profile History	Education. Posted : 22 Jan, 2010 08:03 PM I think women are impressed by many things, such as higher education, but only initially. After the first impression wears off there has to be some interest, attraction, and connection to make a relationship special. I have friends that are lawyers, doctors, professors, and successful business owners, but that's not enough of a reason to get involved with some one. A very intelligent and interesting person might not have a college degree. Just as someone with a masters or doctorate may be the world's biggest dullard. A fact-filled profile is no substitute for getting to know some one. But it does help with things like weeding out the smokers (I'm just saying!). :angel: My two cents and maybe a fact or two.

GraceMae View Profile History	Education. Posted : 22 Jan, 2010 08:30 PM Nicole.... thanks! you wrote "Having a degree on this site is like having extra Peacock feathers in your profile.. if you will." :ROFL: No, seriously.... education has it's place. Now mind you, worldly education is much different than spiritual wisdom, which, really in the our walk as believers, the two don't mix. In the bigger scheme of things, who we tryin' to impress.... Others or what? If you got the degrees behind you, that's great. But for the truely spiritual man or woman walkin' in God's faith, well it's a little mystery, don't you think? It all boils down to "What is it you really looking at in the person?" Doesn't it? There is NO amount of degrees that can even compare to the mysteries of God's revelation of spirtual things and discernment of His word. Never will be. And everybody "doesn't" get it either!! As we look around, share, experience things... if you really take the time to evaluate... you'll see the real deal. Some people do come from the "school of hard knocks" and have more discernment and perception about life and people than any kind of book-sense could ever afford you. Yes, for me, particularly looking on this site, I'm not so much into the level of education, but the content of the profile you write about you, and then I put my spiritual eyes on to see how you respond to things here in the forums, and see if that matches up to what you "say" you are in your profile. SWB, thanks for starting the thread! Keep on bringing it to us! Make us think! :yay::peace: ~ GraceMae Post Reply
patou View Profile History	Education. Posted : 22 Jan, 2010 10:17 PM Very well said Grace ! :yay: Education is important and gives us the title of what we have achieved in the so called " degree ". From the world point of view it is vital because of its demand and to pursue a better life when it comes to our unlimited wants. But all of these are meaningless if we are going to use it the wrong way. For me the best education is our experiences, our struggles, and the things that we have learned from the word of God. A very educated man can be, " I say can be a fool" when it comes to spiritual wisdom. And a not so educated man can be very wise in his stature because of the way he lives. Well that's just me!!! :peace: Ida :glow: Post Reply
