View Profile History	Education. Posted : 18 Jan, 2010 05:53 PM What do you think when you think of a man's education level? What I think about a man's education level I can be impressed but, I can also be impressed with a man that has a skill and trade that took no education level to get him that. It is a starting point where we always take off in finding our match but moving on to find out who the guy is really,....that is real education and takes time...jk Post Reply
skinnywhiteboy View Profile History	Education. Posted : 18 Jan, 2010 06:08 PM Thanks Givenlife, not sure if you were being sarcastic or not, but the last comment about where getting to know someone is the real education, I couldn't agree with it more. To anyone else who answers this question-don't be afraid to be honest, I'm not sure what kind of responses to expect at all, but it might be a wide variety, who knows? Post Reply
View Profile History	Education. Posted : 18 Jan, 2010 06:41 PM It does say something to me about a man's background and values when I see what education level he has had. BUT -- that is never a criteria for me. Intelligence is not based on the number of degrees you have. I look at a lot of other things first and foremost before looking at education level. I use it merely as a general indicator, not a make-or-break decider. Post Reply
View Profile History	Education. Posted : 19 Jan, 2010 06:16 AM Agree wholeheartedly with Lamb and GL. A degree may offer me info about a man's intellect, but all I really know for certain then is that he can show up for class, research and write papers, perform whatever practical applications are involved. It tells me nothing of his personal faith, character, kindness, humility or devotion - and that's what I'm interested in learning about. P Post Reply
bcpianogal View Profile History	Education. Posted : 19 Jan, 2010 11:09 AM To me, education is important in some ways, and unimportant in others. A college degree (or two, or three) shows perseverance, work ethic, a direction in life, and a greater possibility for a solid job. But as long as a guy has a skill with which to earn a living, and a healthy dose of common sense, a college degree isn't the most important thing. Yeah, I look at education level, but it's not one of those things that makes me say "nope...no degree, no chance." Post Reply
View Profile History	Education. Posted : 19 Jan, 2010 04:18 PM A man without a degree has to work harder to get my attention. He also has to NOT be self-conscious or bothered by my advance degree.. (and no comments about use of "big" words, which if i use one, its because it's used to enhance my creative expression) :applause: Post Reply
GraceMae View Profile History	Education. Posted : 19 Jan, 2010 07:59 PM Kudos ladies!! :applause: Being that the man I hope for is a Godly man, I realize that the man God has for me, may not be about the degrees he may have or how theologian engrated he might be, but.... how he is with God alone, and that reflection he shows me in his caring, love and respect for me as someone he truly desires. Lifestyle, character and integrity in a mans' walk mean more to me than the level of education he has or how much scripture he can quote. I wanna know, "are you walkin' rightly in your walk with God", and that you show that in how you treat me and others. ~ GraceMae Post Reply
cherished2 View Profile History	Education. Posted : 19 Jan, 2010 09:28 PM I will admit that I look at the education level - merely as a means of scoring points, but not having a degree does not take away points! (If that makes any sense at all) What matters more than education (Much more) is the ability to spell and formulate a complete sentence! If a person is not willing to even use spell check when posting a bio that may impact his future, I question how much attention he pays to other areas of his life. Having a realtionship with someone intelligent is important, not really what framed document is hanging on the wall.... I will agree with the ladies before me, education is not important in and of itself, but it is an indicator! Post Reply
Prov31_Lady View Profile History	Education. Posted : 20 Jan, 2010 09:10 AM For me, it's more about their calling. Do they know God's calling for their life and are they actively pursuing it? Are they managing their finances well - do they have a stable income? Are they honoring God with whatever he has given them? I believe everyone needs some type of training/education for whatever calling they have. That could be school - undergrad, graduate, or postgraduate - it could be on-the-job training or perhaps something else. Being driven and having a plan and very attractive. If a guy just wants to settle down and work a mimimum wage job for the rest of his life because he's too lazy to WORK towards something better, then that's just not going to work with me, but if he's driven to work hard at what he does and learn the trade, then awesome! That works for me. Post Reply
