If you can relate to someone, they don't knock you for wanting to pursue advanced degrees and they can hold their own when in the company of your colleagues at different functions, etc. then that is what counts!! I have dated all types of men and the one thing I couldn't stand is someone with no intelligence and pissed off at me because I'm educated. When I graduated from college the boyfriend I had then actually told me he was jealous at my graduation!!
I am in love with a janitor and he is the best boyfriend that I have ever had. He owns his own business, has a nice house in a very nice neighborhood, owns 2 cars and 2 trucks and has a nice bank account.  I am pursuing a Masters and I can see myself with a doctorate someday. It doesn't matter to me that he has no degree because we converse intelligently and we can relate!!

Well both of my parents went to college and I am currently in graduate school, so pardon me for having a different set of standards.
There are too many women out there that meet my standards for me to settle for less. If that makes me sound uppity, then oh well. No one besides Jesus has to be pleased with who I choose to date, mate, or marry.
