MS1girl View Profile History	Education Posted : 12 Apr, 2011 01:58 PM I am sure this topic has probably been explored already, but it is something that has been on my mind lately. What type of education would you prefer that your partner has? Would you prefer someone who is less educated than you? At the same educational level as you? More educated than you? It seems to me that, in general, women prefer men who are equally or more educated than them and men tend to prefer women who are equally or less educated than them. In effect, this would mean that as a woman climbs the educational ladder her dating pool diminishes whereas for men the opposite would occur. Of course, these are broad generalizations and they by no means apply to every person. So I am curious to know what your opinions are on the matter. Personally, I would prefer to date someone who had an educational background fairly similar to my own simply because I think we would relate better if we had similar experiences to share. It would be nice if the guy had a background in science because otherwise I might feel that I was boring him when I go into nerd mode and start talking about the science or engineering behind this or that. I am not opposed to the idea of dating someone outside of the field of science; after all it can be fun to learn from each other as well. What are your thoughts? Post Reply
View Profile History	Education Posted : 13 Apr, 2011 10:03 AM Do I want an educated man, yep. But not necessarily the way the World views educated. You can be educated without having a diploma. All a diploma does is say that you went to college. So what. How often do we remember everything we learned in college? A lot of times you learn more on the job than you do in school. When I say educated, what I mean is someone who is knowledgeable and knows how to use that knowledge. I want to be able to communicate with whoever I marry, on various topics that would interest both my future husband and me, especially things that are important to hopefully both of us, God, the Bible, etc. Oops, just said the "C" word some people dread. :laugh: But honestly, if someone has not learned about anything in life, how can they learn to live and appreciate what God has given them?

Charlie32127 View Profile History	Education Posted : 13 Apr, 2011 12:46 PM By the end of this year I will have earned my Doctor of Ministry in Christian Counseling. I earned my Masters in 2001. I have been involved in Christian Counseling for nearly 22 years. I've seen some of the Best, and some of the Worst Counselors! As far as education level are concerned, it matters NOT whether or not you are female or male! It is what is IN YOUR HEART AND SOUL THAT COUNTS! Some of THE BEST Counselors I've meet have ZERO Formal Education! They do the position with love and compassion! This is especially true with Support Groups! Does a woman (or man if you are a woman) need the same education background and status as his/her mate, NO! Does she/he need love, Christ, and God within them, YES!:angel: Post Reply
WorkWise View Profile History	Education Posted : 13 Apr, 2011 02:41 PM I don't believe the education level is as important as both people being in the same place intellectually, emotionally, and maturing-wise. My ex-wife drove a rollercoaster through life and pulled everyone along for the ride. It was horrible. She was either on top of the world or in a vally. It's hard to have a conversation with a person who is just in a different plane of existance. I suppose this is where "compatability" would come in. The Bible does speak of not being unequally yoked. This is NOT just spirtually but in every aspect of life. Post Reply

Sugar_and_Spice View Profile History	Education Posted : 21 Apr, 2011 02:01 AM The level of education is not that important to me. As long as he can carry a descent conversation, and has confidence. Sometimes, for us women, when our man has lower educational background than what we have they have a tendency to be insecure and that might eventually cause a problem in the relationship. Post Reply
