[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a spin-off of another thread where a late 30s woman was asking how to meet men, and of course mentions the “well-educated” criterion multiple times.

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?[/quote]

Uh, they want someone they can talk to, discuss politics and novels. Visit museums or European capitals—not just someone who will pay the credit card bill. Your perspective on women seems quite dated and sexist.

This is pretty rich, considering the fact that men have been known to marry restaurant hostesses based upon their breast size or tight butts![/quote]
