The rant is completely fine. They actually help. I have recently just heard a lot about women wanting to marry up always but based on gen z studies women are ahead of men in both education and income. I thought it would be a good idea to ask women if this is true and if so, how to overcome it

we never had any problems but I also come from a blue collar family and I’m a first gen college student so I have a lot of respect for that type of work. I don’t understands why people demean it. My bf is blue collar but I’ve never thought he was stupid or below me. Occasionally I have to explain certain things but I don’t mind

Right now I’m still in undergrad, I’m only interested in other undergrads or recent graduates. When I go to grad school for my masters, if I’m still single, I’ll only be interested in others in grad school, no undergrad

I can only be attracted to someone if they’re booksmart, without that it literally can’t work out for me

Yeah this isn’t a problem for me either because I have a masters in chemical engineering, but I see a lot of people really struggle and I am trying to figure the disconnect out.

May I ask what your field of study is?

I would be interested too. I personally believe it’s the ego associated with going to college and the emphasis on it in our modern times

Yeah, most likely. I only went for my degree because I really want to find a sustainable energy source that is safer than nuclear energy. I am getting my PHD in theoretical chemistry ASAP. I think a lot of people immediately deem themselves smarter though just because they went to school

So would you be okay if a man made less than you? Assuming you’re doing well and he is just doing less well, nobody is a bum here.

for context my bf and i both work in big tech and make around-ish the same amount. i make slightly less base salary but have more stock and benefits but no matter which way it was or if i happened to get promoted faster it wouldn’t be a big deal

1

The degree is proof that they have the competency to make it to that point and that they’ve had similar life experiences to me which I find attractive. If someone believes they’re the smartest person on Earth but wants to work as a stock clerk their whole life instead of going to college, I’m not going to believe that or be attracted to that

Which one?

Anonymous twirling_tornado 4w

I don’t think I would, I’m attracted to booksmarts, it’s not about the money for me Strong preference for people in other hard science fields, since we would have similar life experiences and passions, and I know they would have about the same scientific competence as me or above, which is what I’m really into

Would you consider an individual with an honorary phd?

1

Those kinds of cases are very rare, and I’d rather just get with someone who I know for sure is near my level of competency and scientific intelligence, has been through similar experiences to me, and who has the ability to persevere through 4+ years of difficult schooling. Why are you so upset about this one standard of mine? It’s okay if you don’t have the same preference.

Depends on how it was earned and what their actual education level is Idk how common those are and what they’re usually awarded for

1

I’m allowed to reject someone for any reason I want. If you want to be personally offended by that go ahead. By the time I’m working on my masters I’ll be like 24-25, I’m not going to want to date someone who is still getting their bachelors degree after high school. I want to date people who have similar experiences to mine, similar passions, in similar life circumstances, with a similar level of intelligence

I might be able to make an exception for someone with a bachelors if they’ve already found a stable job after getting it while I’m still working on my masters or have already gotten it, but I would much prefer to date other undergrads while I’m undergrad, masters students while I’m a masters student, etc

5

I think you’re thinking a little too black and white here, I’ve explained multiple times that it’s not just about having your name on a paper but also having gone through similar experiences and having similar levels of competency. Not sure why you’re so upset with me, you don’t have to have my preferences!

4

Ermmmm ok!

5

Really confused why you’re so obsessed with arguing with me over my personal preferences, are you insecure about not having a degree or something?? And I don’t care about not being the smartest person on earth I care about dating someone I’m attracted to

5

Lowkey you’re weird for judging her😭 geology is an important field

2

Just say you’re mad that she wouldn’t date you dude

Ok???? Who cares omg

Nobody is asking you to, you don’t have to get angry at me for having preferences you can’t relate to either

I’d rather date someone in the sciences than whatever the hell youre doing

Thank you omg I swear it’s one of those fields that nobody understands 😭😭 very important for fighting global warming and finding better energy solutions right now
