| Topic: Are men really intimidated by educated women??? | |
|---|---|
|
|

I just had an idea for a possible new thread. I don't thik I'll start it, but maybe somebody else would like to. "Who on this site do you think would make you a better person"? Not necessarily in romantic terms, or sexual terms. Just in mutual self-improvement terms. (In my experience, such a relationship often leads to romantic and sexual fulfillment).

I don't find a woman with an education intimidating. In fact, I find it much easier to hook with her than with a ding-a-ling.
However, there are a few women that go out of their way to make it really hard. They seem to want to mentally beat a guy up and send him away with his tail between his legs. In other words, a ball busting b****. That type is just too hard when there's easier game to be had. |

All women, educated and uneducated alike, love Ghiardelli's Chocolate. They cannot resist its power.

i live in a rooming house full of students in a university town. I told one girl here, who's working on a masters, that educated women don't intimidate me, but really rich women do. I get my knees go wobbly and my inferiority complex sears and spires when I meet a filthy rich man or woman.
This girl is 26, I think, but really smart. You know what she said to my expose? She said, "You're f.....ing nuts, Andrew." |

neurologists and surgeons are the best to date. They always say "Don't worry, I've seen that inside what it looks like, sliced in half".

Here's the BLS stats......HHMM still not seeing how a degree does all that much for you. You tell me? $9,000 more a year after you have spent 4 years at a university costing on average (depending if you went to private or public) $22,000 covering tuition, room and board, fee's all that good stuff. So you come out $88,000 in debt at 5.25% (roughly). So if you pay $1,500.00 a month it will take you 5 years 8 months and tack on another almost $14,000 so now you have in total spent $102,000. So $9,000 / $102,000 = 11 years 4 months to finally be at the same starting point financially the high school graduate started at the age of 18. 18 y/o + 4 years in college + 11 years = 33 y/o. Richie, I won't argue with this, because what you say is true. Please consider two things, though: After 33 years of age, you have roughly 30 more years to make money by working, and that thirty years is 3/4 of your earning time in life. if the difference is 1,500 in earning power, on the average per month, then that 1,500 per month extra does add up if it goes on uninterrupted for 30 years. That's A. B. is that some people study not only to make more money, or to make any money, but because they enjoy knowledge, gaining knowledge. Some people go on creating new knowledge and they enjoy that. It's fine that for eleven years they are losers, because they enjoy those eleven years, and thirty years as well that comes after that. Money is good, I won't deny that; money is great, it is power, it is sexy. But for a few people so is knowledge and creation. Furthermore, for still fewer people, the gaining and creation of knowledge is essential for a base-line happiness. They suffer and wilt in mundane. Their excitement does not come from money, or from luxury trips, or from zip-lining or clusterefffing in Malaysia; their excitement comes from being able to write a nice poem, or from discovering some obscure fact that creates havoc in legal theory, or such like. These people may or may not be rich, and those who are not rich, are not just saying they are happy despite being poor (these are very-very few in numbers, but they do exist), but they indeed revel in making an ear-steam engine, even if the invention never gets popular use or even a patent. I agree with you, though, still, Richie. Most people are satisfied with making enough money. For those whose ideals for life consists of hard work, raising a family, giving the god and country their just share of the guy's earning, then by all means. Whatever tickles your fancy. And to be honest, most people live a life like your ideal, and those people are the happiest they can be in that role. The only difference is that people are different. I agree, your choosing working over education was a smart choice. I agree with Einstein's choosing education over playing the violin was a smart choice, or basketball. (Einstein tried out for the Niegenstreudeldorf's local talent search, and -- thankfully -- did not make the team.) And I certainly agree with your math, too, as long as you can see that after 33 the picture of earning power changes very drastically. I agree 100% some of that was slightly playing "devils advocate" but in all honesty I can't stand when people say you have to go to college to get a good job. There are so many options out there and they should all be explored instead of beating it in to a kids head from ages 10 to 18 that "you'll be a loser if you don't go to college" |

If you're ok with not having a degree and being looked over because of that by some employers, then by all means, don't go to college. Sure, many people do get decent jobs without college, but there are also many employers who aren't going to look at those who haven't completed their degree. #1 yes I am ok with not having a degree, being I have a job that compensates me at 145% of the local "Median Income". #2 Beating this notion of "High Education" into the heads of all these kids that they have to go to college is only setting them up for failure. Yes a lot will graduate and have some idea of what they want to do. But a lot just go to college for a degree. Then they end up applying for a a job that has zero correlation to their degree. So I guess the best thing we can do is start every 22 to 23 year olds career with $120,000 in debt ( I know I averaged $88,000 in my arguement earlier but I havent met anyone yet with that low of an education debt) with really no skills outside of 4 years of living away from home so atleast they know how to make it to class without mommy and daddy. The only degree's I agree with are in the likes of Medicine, Law, Teaching anything that has a specific career path. Other than that the kid is just wasting his/her time and lots and lots of money. |

I don't know IF,,its true,,But I did read a study where they had tested over a hundred women and found that the intake of sperm daily makes then significantly MORE intelligent,,,
 Are you saying. By swallowing or embedding?
 Well,,,,I never asked that?
I would then conclude that your facts might involve BOTH!
aaa,,ok...thank you Mr Know-it-all...

And I certainly agree with your math, too, as long as you can see that after 33 the picture of earning power changes very drastically. ^^this is so well put wux! I didn't go to college strait out of high school either JJ, although my parents & advisors told me I should! I worked, & worked, & worked...always becoming the best at whatever job, but never being satisfied with any of them. I did all sorts of things. As a CNA people thought I should go to nursing school, which would have been the smartest choice if I were only interested in making money! I absolutely loathe taking care of sick people! I even worked for MHMR to get away from the hospital & home health scene...crazy people are worse & the last group home I worked in one of the residents had a nasty habit of putting women in the hospital. At the age of 25 and still unhappy with my job...I decided to go to college and figure out what could keep me interested. I always had a drive to help animals so once I got into the biology program...I naturally ended up going the pre-vet track. Eventually, started working in labs as a student worker to help make money. I enjoy lab work...there is absolutely nothing I loathe about it! When faced with what to do after my bachelors...must do something because a BS in Biology doesn't exactly have the best job market & I had decided against vet school...grad school was the wisest choice being that I liked the lab work. I also have always desired to study diseases and figure out how to help make vaccines, or breed animals with natural resistance...so here I am! Most PhD track people I know are not in this to make money...because many Master level people will actually make more! We do it because we love science & love to figure things out! Yes I will make considerably more money than being a CNA or MHMR assistant, but there are many routes to take from there that can lead to better financial success. I just want a job that doesn't bore me to death & that will challenge my intellect and intuition! |

What you're saying is very interesting...it shows that what matters is doing what you really wanna do !! we're linving in countries where ywe are told and taught to be like this, like that, etc... NO matter you're doing studies till you're making a living on something that's important for you, a passion, a vocation, anything... When you want to be smart, you can !! i think now, thanks to technology, everybody can have access to knowledge...and being educated doesn't mean being smart or intelligent! On a another side, we can't all go to college because we need so many different careers to make the world goes round... For my part, i dropped out college because it wasn't exciting...the same stupid s*** i was learning in high school but in another language...WTH !!! |

but, my situation is not like all yours...
I'm French, and college and university are almost free ! just the scholarship fees (400$) at the beginning of the school year ! but you have private schools that are expensive too...but not everybody goes at them ! The question has also been popped out in France. But dropping out college didn't stop me from learning knowledge ! if you want the information, get the information ! And when i discuss with some educated people i meet, they're often surprised of my "school" luggage ! In my defense, i read a lot, i'm crazy about knowledge ! the more the merrier ! And for now, im still in france lol ! My idea is that love has no eyes ! Don't forget we're all human beings, education is mostly for work, but work isnt everything !! When you think of happiness, it's all these moments with the one you love and enjoy lifetime that we remember!!laughs, crying, parties, birthdays, birth, death, love, hate, etc...that's life !! So i think when you're focused on the other one's education, career [...] it's not loving the one for who he/she is, but for what he/she is ! |

********************************************************************************* you have to look at the value of your education in the individual job titles across salary and projected emplyment growth - in the occupational outlook handbook or the 2008-18 Projected Growth in Employment section those are the matrices that will give the best outlook as the value of a degree is not only worth $10,000/yr (multiply that by a 25 year work life, friend), but the value is also ascertained on the opportunity and growth matrix |

I see many graduate student women concerned about finding a mate before finishing their degrees! Many believe having a master's or doctorate makes it more difficult to date. I have never really sat and pondered this...so, what are your opinions? my first thoughts are that this would attract more serious men rather than the players, but what the heck do I really know? LOL Most men have no problem with an educated woman. There are a few types that bring isolation on themselves: 1. I'm a woman: hear me roar. 2. Radical feminist. 3. I'm busy: make this date worth my time. I'm in the beginning stages of dating a female civil engineer. My career in electronics. Am I hesitant? No. I look forward to intellectual interaction as well as romance. |
