[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It's the AA degree working as a teller that's off putting for most educated women. These women aren't necessarily looking for a wallet, but they want an equal partner.

Is he working towards a bachelor's degree in a good paying field?[/quote]

I don't think he is necessarily seeking someone more educated than him.  He would prefer someone who also has at least an associate's degree or is working towards one.  That doesn't seem unreasonable to me.  I don't think he would rule out someone with just a high school degree, but would prefer some college.  
The apartment he shares with a roommate is nice and well-maintained. 
He's done some classes at night but honestly is pretty happy with his current job.  He came from not the best circumstances in life, so I think he is doing really well.

Kudos to him for having a job and trying to better himself coming from bad circumstances.

But, single women won't care about that.   His current circumstances are not attractive to even uneducated women.

Being a teller is a dead end job, and the pay is  awful (I'm the one who used to date a guy who worked as a teller in college).   Most women who are in college, whether towards an AA or BA/BS, are trying to go for a better paying job.  They aren't going to want to partner with someone who is not in a similar position - working towards a better paying job.

Yea. I see a problem here if the guy is “pretty happy” with his bank teller job. It’s a brain numbing dead end position. If he was working towards a CPA, lived in a small studio independently that would definitely be more attractive for educated  women.
For now he needs to settle for slightly chubby flowers girls [/quote]
