Admin	Does it matter? Posted : 5 Aug, 2012 04:03 PM First off, if this has been asked before in the past, my apologies. I was just wondering. Is a guy with a high education more considerable dating material than one who has a lower one (HS dep. / GED), or one who doesn't have a HS dep. or GED? If so, what of the possibilities that some, either through bad past choices, or other things in life prevented them from obtaining a higher education. Does the aforementioned apply (if it does matter) to them as well? Just looking for an honest view / opinion. Thanks in advance. Post Reply
View Profile History	Does it matter? Posted : 5 Aug, 2012 04:55 PM Both of my great grandparents never got any education past that of highschool, and they both did very well for themselves. My great grandmother sold advertisements to newspapers and my great grandfather was a war veteran and a pilot. Both really intelligent people and hard workers. That was a different time though, of course. There's no shame in not getting higher education, there's specialty trade schools one can get into and things of that nature as well. God bless you.

View Profile History	Does it matter? Posted : 5 Aug, 2012 05:09 PM Their are some highly intelligent people who can not make it the the educational world. With such focused minds that they become lost in the pace of academics. I am such a person. I used to feel insecure about this as a young man but I have come to learn that i have a advantage over many people with a high education. And that they cant relate with where I am in my thoughs that are original and not learned from someone in history. Their is a difference in learning about facts and seeming intelligent and being a great thinker and spanning new ground. Maybe you are such a person????? Post Reply

Posted : 5 Aug, 2012 05:14 PM Thanks MsMarvel and LetThis both of your posts have been a great encouragement to me, more than you know. :applause: This is something I've let beat me down in my thoughts for at least 12 years. I figured it was time to put an end to wondering, and find out for sure, if I was wrong or right in my thinking. Needless to say, I'm glad I asked. Again, thank you both, greatly. - Daniel Post Reply
View Profile History	Does it matter? Posted : 5 Aug, 2012 06:17 PM To me, level of education does not matter. What matters to me is that the guy is happy in his job and has clear goals as to what he wants to do for the rest of his life. It doesn't matter to me if someone wants to start off working retail and become a manager or owner of a store, as long as they have aspirations for the future. Actually, the last guy I went on a date with only had a high school diploma. I've also gone out with a guy who had a BA degree. Both guys were just as nice and both dates were great! Post Reply
CuriousGeorge View Profile History	Does it matter? Posted : 6 Aug, 2012 06:30 AM it matters a lot to some and it doesn't matter at all to others. from my experience it doesn't matter to most, but what matters is that you have some sort of ambition in life. Post Reply

I'm not sure where, but somewhere down the line, I believed since I didn't have that, that I wasn't good enough. I look back at it now and cannot believe I let myself think that way. I think it is time for a change in my previous thinking. Again, thanks to everyone who posted on here, your posts have been extremely helpful. Post Reply
View Profile History	Does it matter? Posted : 6 Aug, 2012 10:01 AM The level of Education cannot define someone! Honestly i would never consider that, i believe there are better and far important qualities to consider than that. I would rather date some christian guy with very low education as long we are happy together than date or get married to this guy with a doctorate and end up fighting everyday until divorce do us part.

View Profile History	Does it matter? Posted : 6 Aug, 2012 10:51 AM Some of the greatest men of the world didn't much if any little education at all. In fact, take a look at Jesus. He's our role-model and the son of God. If he wanted -- could be anything and let he doesn't use his knowledge of everything to amaze the crowd. He doesn't even seek after a high paying job. he's a carpenter. plan and simple. Not a rabbi, or someone who's been to years of schooling and looked up at as the smartest men of that time. Jesus was looked down upon as a carpenter who is really the king of kings. but he went though that because the kind of men he's looking for are looked down upon. he knows, what he knows -- simply because all knowledge comes from God. God is the source of life and all things good. So, no. it shouldn't matter if you was labeled "the least qualified "dating material" on the planet. You are a prize just simply for the fact that you are in a relationship with God and there isn't a single person in the existence of time or space like you. Your unique and like the sun or the stars -- you was made for his purpose. So, let nothing define you besides God because happiness fades and people change but the lord your God stays the same.
