I would but it has tended not to work out well for various reasons.
Also, education is a huge deal in my family. Everyone has advanced degrees and the women in my famil
y are really judgmental about whom I date.
But more to my preferences. I’m just really attracted to a woman who is smart, well-read and educate
d. I find intelligence incredibly attractive. Some might say that means I’m a sapiosexual. But I ref
use to use that term.
Yes and I have. I didn't just date one, I married one.
I have under graduate degrees in physics and computer science, and a graduate degree in computer sci
ence. My husband has an under graduate degree in philosophy.
But that is just on paper. My husband chose a life long path of self education early on since his ch
ildhood.
He wrote cloud enabled apps without taking a single programming class in his life.
He is a software UX architect without taking a single design class in his life.
It depends on what you mean by “less educated.”
I have an MA. My husband has an associates degree. By that standard, he’s less educated.
However, we’ve been married 17 years and the education difference has never been any kind of issue.
In fact, it’s pretty clear that his degree has been more practically useful.
Would I date someone with less intellectual curiosity than me?
Probably not, because I think once that was established, we’d find out we had little in common to su
stain a relationship beyond a friendship.
It’s not that I’d think less of them.
These are just the kind of judgments we make when sorting out what kind of relationships we want wit
h people.
