So I am trying to steer the convo back to the question at hand...

Thanks for answering.

I'm sure you get the point, either way.

Only men who don't expect much in life and from their mate.

Are you professing to be such a man?

Education, religion, and family background are very important to me. Like the OP said this guy she's dating is really nice, and seems to have it together, but I've met and gone out with some really nice women, but I didn't feel I was compatible with them, because they didn't meet some of the standards that I look for. Just because someone comes from a different background doesn't make them a bad person, but it just doens't work for me. In her case, she may think he's a great guy, but just not right for her. Nothing wrong with that. So I would have to agree with her.

At that young of an age though, the nice guys do get passed up for the thugs though. I still don't understand that.

nice women like bad men....LOL

The most important thing for me is being on the same level as far as our spiritual walks are concerned. One thing I have learned is that though school and education are very important, it is not for everybody. My boyfriend and I graduated high school the same year and I chose to go straight to college and he chose to start working first. Eventually, he started going back to school and received his associate's degree in engineering and is currently working in his field. Now, he is trying to complete his bachelor's but nevertheless he has done very well for himself.

So, he is 27, holds an associate's degree, currently working in his field while pursuing a bachelor's, has no kids, respects and adores his and my family, treats me very well, respects me, and seeks to please God....the last being the most important to me because everything else falls into place when seeking His face.

Me, everything said about my boyfriend can be said about me except I hold a bachelor's and a master's and working on an Ed.S. degree and will eventually pursue a doctorate in education. So we may not be on the same educational level but we still mesh. We have been together for 6 years and are just trying to get financially stable and clear some debt before we decide to take the next step...

To each his/her own I guess...
