I often find myself in this conversation with friends about whether I would even entertain the notion of dating a woman without "documented" education. As i get older and continue in my pursuits to be a college professor and widely published author- , I would feel uneasy in a relationship where a discussion about our college experience or the trials and error of graduate school is not revisited in the form of personal anecdotes. I guess that my academic pursuits are VERY important to me, I worked entirely too hard not to relish in it and to not have a women who is my EQUAL in every sense of the word.
Please note, this doesn't mean that we were raised in the same situation, but the level of personal rigor placed in creating a comfortable life for myself and my family. Just my thoughts...be easy.
I am looking....any of you ladies single?

I'm sure for some women the status of degrees or business owner whatever is required before they'll consider dating someone. I think for me the main thing is sort of what you discussed. I like exchanging freshman blues stories, or when we decided xyz was the org for us (I tend to date Alphas and Omegas so we end up having the discussion eventually, nothing wrong with anyone else I just haven't met anyone in any of the other orgs that made me drool --till the PanHell bowling thing but that's neither here nor here), homecoming, week long spades tournaments, graduation and what not. He doesn't need to have a MA or anything but as most of my friends have at least a BA he'd feel left out (probably) hanging out with us as the majority of us have (or will have soon) MAs, MBAs, JDs, PharmDs and PhDs. And like Ninja there are some things I want my kids to do, not just because I did them but because I think they will be good for them but I am not sure if we are dealing with too many strata over if he's gonna understand any of that. Now having said all of that if the brother is smart, is paying his bills, treats me well, and we share similar values and goals we can work it out no matter his education status. Besides since I firmly believe in your money, our money and my money as long as got enough in our money to pay the bills and take care of the kids I'm happy. Happily single cause I'm not trying to drag a man around (ie have him follow me around the country) till I get settle after internship and in my first teaching position as Dr. MSN in August of 2005.
