The men really aren't there

Well if the rest of you won't admit it then I will. I want a college educated husband.

Sorry if that makes me an elitist snob, but that IS what I want. He doesn't have to be a Hah-vud grad or anything, but have an andvanced degree! I worked TOO HARD to get mine and maybe this is just my opinion, or maybe one that is influenced by my family's immigrant background, but I see that degree as a sign of ambition, which I like.

Also, at some point in my life I will probably have children. If that happens, I want to be home to raise them (oh such a quaint old-fashioned notion I know, but I have seen TOO MANY good women torn up over the choice between career and home, and yes it definitely DOES make a difference on their children). For that to happen, the man needs to make enough so that I can stay home comfortably.

Chances are increased if that man has a degree.

I just wonder if any of you women who are deploring those of us who know what we want in a man have ever even had a serious relationship with a man who didn't have a college education, or are you having some kind of knee jerk reaction? It's nice to say that it doesn't matter, but for me at least, I am looking at the reality instead of the rosey world of the way things "should" be.
