What is women’s obsession with “well-educated” men?

[Anonymous]

It doesn’t matter. The type of men that these women want - tall, educated, money, etc., make up about 20% of men. These men have options and are less likely to settle down or settle with one of them. This is why women have so many issues getting married. Many bring nothing or very little to the table but expect the most. If you’re a man who is in the top 20%, you better be a 10 across the board. You can’t be average looking woman electing that caliber of a man.

Women these days days are more masculine than every. They don’t cook, don’t clean, don’t want to raise their kids, don’t want to have sex often, and don’t want to keep up with their looks. Why would a man who is a high caliber man settle for that? Any man in general for that instance. This is why men don’t want to get married. You give them half your money and provide for them with little or nothing in return.

It’s almost like the incel parts of the internet disable Google.

The more educated you are the more likely you will marry. The wealthier you are, the more likely it is you will marry.

And you’re telling on yourself when you say not having sex often is a male trait. Only among you and your “friends” my dude.

I saw a thread on twitter that was something like "a brief history of women are too masculine and men are too feminine." And it was like a century or more of headlines where newspapers and media outlets were complaining that men "these days" were becoming more effeminate and women these days were becoming more masculine. Just generation after generation of this bullshit. Related news flash - kids these days aren't any more disrespectful than kids in the olden days.

I’m a woman and this is the truth. I’m not a man. I know so many women who want a man over 6ft, makes 6 figures or more, attractive with a good body and all his hair, etc., but they bring nothing to the table. I know several women who don’t cook, don’t clean, and have abandoned many feminine traits. Then you all wonder why you’re 35 with no kids and no man who wants you.

Toxic masculinity bs and trans bs has pushed men to become feminine and the feminist movement had taught women to be masculine. You know the type that claim they don’t need men for anything but men built this world, they work physical labor jobs that women won’t do, they provide, etc. Then they are 35 and single with no man.

Hmm. I thought you were an incel too, but I guess you're a Christian Boomer.

I just don’t get this. And I should preface this by saying I’m a guy with an Ivy degree. But would you ladies not consider someone who owns his own construction business or a few Subway franchises and earns $150,000 per year? (Or we could make it 15 Subway franchises and an income of $600,000 if that is your requirement.) This is not about income – that part I understand.

But why the obsession with “well-educated” men? Do you not understand that for many people, going to college/graduate school is a terrible life decision? I mean, there was a recent article about NYU film grads coming out of the Master’s program with $30,000/year jobs and $250,000 in debt. Surely women in their late 30s recognize that the dating market is not skewed in their favor. Why add yet *another* filter that further winnows down your available options?

I'm a woman and agree. I want a man who is intelligent, interesting and curious. That doesn't necessarily mean well-educated.
Some of the most brilliant men I've dated were high school dropouts.

Oh wow. I am from a town full of high-school dropouts and I haven't happened to date one. How on earth do you know so many that you can say that they were some of the most brilliant ones you have ever dated?

DCUM Men Takes:

1. Women should not be allowed to prefer taller men.
2. Women should not be allowed to prefer wealthier men.
3. Women should not be allowed to prefer mentally stable men.
4. Women should not be allowed to prefer well-educated men.

Ok the first three I try to give some sympathy since there is a genetic and historical component that is outside the man’s control but really? Get online, fill out an application, literally anyone can get an education on this country. Don’t get the test scores? Study. Don’t like the tuition? Get a loan. But this is wholly in your power and you prefer to whine on the internet about women’s preferences instead of studying for the GRE.

I was married, through good times and bad, and you know what was irrelevant to having a worthwhile relationship? Height, wealth, and number of university degrees.

NP. That's fine, but you need to allow other women to have a preference. And plenty of women have had worthwhile relationships with tall, high-income, well-educated men.

I wouldn't have said "highly educated," but I definitely wanted someone with an education.

If somebody could keep up with me intellectually and was as well-read as I was (which is not a high bar, fwiw) then that probably would have satisfied the "educated" requirement, and somebody with a degree but was still dumb would not. I always understood that "educated" is an over- and under inclusive term.

The same goes for women who consider it a proxy for socio-economic status. Obviously somebody can get a lot of degrees and still not be what these women mean when they say "well-educated."

You have to not be so literal.

I “need to allow”: am I preventing someone from doing something? Go ahead: stay single in the absence of a tall wealthy guy with multiple degrees. Be stupid.

I don't think you understand. There were news articles from the 19th century talking about how men were no longer masculine and women were becoming too masculine. This is long before the "feminist movement" and long before the phrase "toxic masculinity" was coined. Certainly a long time before transsexual people were recognized as human. It's the same nonsense that gets spewed at whatever changing aspect of society happens to be the anxiety of the day, year after year, decade after decade, and apparently century after century. People could say, "I don't like transsexuals" or "I don't like feminism" or "I don't like dudes being jackasses and blaming it on their need to be a 'real man'" etc. But don't pretend your dislikes are response to a novel deviation from a timeless status quo. Because that's not what's happening.

But I married a tall handsome man with an MBA who is financially successful. His hair is thinning now but we’ve been married for a couple decades so…

Why would I think other women should settle? Why is it stupid to pursue what you actually want?

I’m convinced people use it as a proxy and euphemism for “highly paid.”

It’s pretty crass to say “I require a man who makes at least 300k.”

No it is not crass just common. Usually people going to top universities have money. Very few women would pick Joe from UVA when they could marry Bill who 5th generation to graduate Harvard. Yes Bill will have more money and contacts vs Joe. Also your kid is much more likely to continue the family tradition. Would you rather tell your frenemies all about Bill vs Joe?
