Author BlessYourCottonSocks Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 BOLD 1: Exactly...Like I said in my post, this is a no brainer for any man that has been the highest earner in the past now moving forward with life. When you know how the family court operates and the bias that goes on, it really does wake you up Scenarios....during equalization calculations - A woman with no skills will have minimum wage used as her income - A woman with a degree will have the entry level rate used as her income Why on earth should I have to carry a woman that has decided that staying in school and making something of her life is too "challenging" to her? Am not your dad BOLD 2: Wow....calling it as it is eh NOTE: Am sure the thought of dating an ATTORNEY appeals to the OP, and it would have been a good show off to her friends. You can see the conversation going like this... fRIENDS: So what does this guy do? OP: He is a lawyer friends: oooh...Very nice, we are jealous HAHA. He didn't state in his profile what he did for a living. I had no idea he was an attorney till he told me on the phone. I've dated men with degrees and ones without them. To be honest with you, the men without degrees had more character and love and TIME for me. They had more humor and rawness to them. Liked to travel, liked to be active, liked to read/write, enjoy life for what it was. Most importantly, appreciated it because they had been through struggle. It was just organic. And guess what? Most of them made MORE money then the ones with a degree. The men I dated who had a degree or two, never had time for me. Were always deep into their work. Always had their phone on them. Always talking about political garbage while sipping on $100 wine. Uptight. Sure, they could ship me a Louis Vuitton while working in L.A. for the weekend to show their love, but I'd take the quality time over a purse any day. That's what life is about for me. This is just MY experience. Doesn't mean everyone is like that. Which is why the attorney and I didn't work. If you knew my true character, you would know what a guy does for a living has nothing to do with how much I like him. Love is so much more than that. I don't care what my friends would think of my boyfriend. What matters most is how I feel about him. Tayken, who are you? Why don't you PM me, I'd love to know your story. 1
Emilia Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 YOU happy. There are people who don't need college to make money. I'll be one of them. It's not just about the money. I don't look out for a man's education but I tend to be on the same page with those that are university educated. The conversations are just different. They are usually more open minded, more liberal, more curious, they have a certain kind of confidence that is relatively rare with those that chose not to educate themselves further. 1
Author BlessYourCottonSocks Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 #1: Really? Salary for TWO YEAR rn How much do 2 year rn's make? Houston Chronicle There are 2 year and 4 year paths to becoming an Rn. Shoulda used google. 2) I dont have a degree, and never said I had one. I just said I went to college. Reading comprehension skills need work, I see... 3)As for homeschooling, you proved my point. People can do just fine without the institution if they so desire. And guess what? The homeschooler gets their diploma at 14-16, while you get it at 18. They must be doing something right... 4)I said free or low cost. If you are going to critique me, at least read my post correctly! Once again, I can learn because I know how to read. I pick topics that interest me, and go all out with the internet and books. Know what's funny? When I go on and on about a subject, people assume it's from being in college. Nope, it's from reading and doing my own research! I like you. :-) I considered nursing once. But then all the gore was not for me and I'm afraid of needles. Tayken is just one of those snarky posters behind the comfort of his computer... I've learned more from books then I have college classes, and yes, I've taken a couple of college classes. Books aren't all just about fiction and fairytale's. I've learned more from a book then a professor. And it was cheaper.

Compliments I've received from men (without them knowing my education level) is that I'm highly articulate, quick witted and intelligent. You don't need a college degree to be those things. I abhor small talk and have a high need for cognition and high-brow rational discourse. I can carry a conversation well and have gained knowledge in an organic life experience kind of way. Basically, what it comes down to is preference. And I think I gathered a lot from this thread, good to know.

I'll be damned..did you just hit on me LIVE on loveshack? Shame on you woman...I mean girl Just kidding...seriously though, I hear what you are saying, and the more this conversation goes on, the more you are clarifying your stance. I am in a position of authority at work, but unlike my colleagues....I am so down to earth because I took a different route to get there, and that I am a transplant here I never take work home with me.....I am athletic in build and activeness. I'll be going for my usual lunch time 10+ km run, I love documentaries as my only form of TV...love to travel (covered over 35 states in the US, most of Europe, African continent, South America NZ, OZ and Asian) I couldn't be with someone that doesn't like to travel (not talking resort type travel here) Oh...I am unable to PM as I have no paid subscription.

Are you trying to sell yourself? If so, I'll bid 20 bucks and a Starbucks coffee. I bet your dominant in bed. Too bad you can't PM, I have a natural desire for men I'd like to tame. Down to earth my butt. Sounds like from your prior posts you are the uppity snooty type. You will tell me I'm wrong though, because you are always right. Definition of dick. And another thing you mentioned, "athletic and toned", this is ONE of my many qualms about OLD. Half the guys who say this on their profile are anything but! Define athletic in build, will you? Come on and play with me.

Author BlessYourCottonSocks Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 I am also extremely talented. I also have a bunch of degrees so your theory that people who are talented don't need college is entirely self serving, but it would have been a nice jab if someone was just intellectual. I am an architect who restructures and rebuilds historical homes so yes, the talent was there but the college was mandatory for me to get my foot in the door and have the historical background and education I needed. As far as you being ditzy or not attractive enough, that was just another perspective. Even if things hurt, I would rather consider them rather than flail around in the dark thinking people aren't that shallow or mean. It was in no way a reflection of what you are or aren't. If he had those thoughts that is his issue, not yours. If you want to have a less stressful life, try to not internalize what other people project onto you. Just something to think about. You are taking my posts far too serious. I don't need more to think about either by the way. "And I'm definitely not changing the way I think either", says my stubborn self. I'm me. If someone won't date me because of no college degree, cool. Then we obviously weren't meant to be. I also don't date certain people (tubby bellies, no sense of humor, short, baggage, etc) and some would call me shallow or cold. But that's a matter of my preference. Makes the world go round.

And preferably the age of 25-35. And no kids, dislike those little rascals. Esp if they aren't mine. And a biggie is dominance, tie me down, blind fold me and do to me what I can't see. I can't PM you, if you don't have the selection.
Author BlessYourCottonSocks Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 Great, good, wonderful, brilliant. Does that mean it can be closed now? This thread was goofy, there didn't seem to be an actual question to it, just that you wanted to share a story about a guy online who didn't share your values and how bad a person that made him. You weren't open to any other side of the argument, and got really defensive towards anyone who had a conflicting opinion. No one ever said you were unintelligent, though clearly your intelligence told you the rational thing to do there was to argue to the end that you are an intelligent, well-read, high-minded person with successful parents who didn't need a degree. Mission accomplished. Pats on the back all around, pop the wine and get the glasses. I thought they had a board for people who just wanted to talk? Obviously everyone's intelligence told them to argue the subject. No one else change their point of view for me. And of course I'm not open to a subject I don't believe in. I came on here to share an experience. You buy the wine, I'll drink it.
Author BlessYourCottonSocks Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 "You seem very dramatic. Have you ever considered theatre? And no one else spent quite so much time hammering their level of intelligence into everyone else. At the very least, you're clear about your immaturity on discussion. A lot of people can't be honest about that, grats! And no thanks on the wine, I think I'll leave you to your weird pseudo-flirting with a man who spent a large portion of this thread disagreeing with you strongly. Though you'll probably just claim it sarcasm. :laugh:" -says the guy with the username Skuds (Skud meaning to be in the state of mind to start or get into a fight) whose avatar is a picture of an old dude wearing a shirt that says SEX on it. Oh ya, I'm immature.
TheyCallMeOx Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Oh sorry, must be 5'10 to get on this ride and I enjoy a man who drinks beer. And preferably the age of 25-35. And no kids, dislike those little rascals. Esp if they aren't mine. And a biggie is dominance, tie me down, blind fold me and do to me what I can't see. I can't PM you, if you don't have the selection. I have 1 out of 5 of those qualifications. http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/a-chance.gif 1
Author BlessYourCottonSocks Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 Well ignoring the fact that you're wrong about that definition except for slang, which it's still not quite, let's not read too much into an avatar and name eh? For someone with such a claim on a sparkling sense of humor, you certainly don't seem to actually have one. (Also calling someone out on their avatar and username online is the equivalent of making fun of someone in person for how they look or what they're wearing, aka, the lowest tier of arguments/insults. Quit while you're ahead ) Hey, this is MY thread and I can say whatever I want. You can think of me anyway you want. I don't know you. But from what I've read I don't really want to either. You probably feel the same. If you don't like me or my thread, go away! I don't need to prove to you I have a sense of humor. I mentioned your name and avatar, because it's silly. And it's not the same as making fun of someone in person. I have more class than that. I work with the public and that would be atrocious to nitpick everyone and unclassy. On here, if someone is inconsiderate and a fool, I'll say what I want. Or as far as I can take it. You don't bother me. You are the size of an ant in my world. 2
hotpotato Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Wow.....If you are going to use the generic term "college" as understood in the US, then be specific as not to lead someone on that you didn't actually attend a 4yr degree college You obviously intended to deceive, otherwise you would have made yourself clearer...I guess home schooling doesn't teach you clarity. From your own link: You still have to take the exam and pass it to become a Registered Nurse (RN). Back to the original point.....If you don't have a degree, DO NOT PUT ON YOUR PROFILE THAT YOU HAVE ONE. Be proud of what you have as opposed to misleading people NOTE: I don't know the people you claim to be talking to, obviously our circles are different and we are in different countries. I am able to call BS, and stuff on the internet is not to be taken as Gospel...HOT POTATO (Really?) Seriously, I did go to a four year college, I just don't have a degree. Are you being dense on purpose? Just admit it, your post was way wrong! I was referring to the general attitudes in this thread. I would ask if you read them, but seeing how well you comprehended my one post, I won't bother... And yes, I'm allowed to have the name hot potato. This is an Internet forum, and people can pick what names they want. *nods* 2
Author BlessYourCottonSocks Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 Well to be clear, I was never trying to bother you as much as I was laughing about the situation in general. You do however seem to take things very personally. You may want to consider working on that, or find someone to date who's a little less volatile. But definitely not an attorney. Anyway, aye aye captain! Excuse me while I scud out of this thread, or move fast in a straight line as if driven by the wind away from an intelligent person who is angry for no reason. Most important part, for my sake, is mission accomplished. Albeit, you sure walked away with the self discovery of "what you think you know about BYCS" I'm glad you got that last tidbit in there, hope you feel better.
acrosstheuniverse Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 The men I dated who had a degree or two, never had time for me. Were always deep into their work. Always had their phone on them. Always talking about political garbage while sipping on $100 wine. It's all about preferences. I love men that are heavily into their work, whatever it is. I'm currently dating a guy that is working a business/retail job making very little (as am I) but he's passionate about music, just recorded a solo album, gigs every chance he gets and puts all of his soul into his music. He makes nothing compared to some guys I've dated and you know what? I LOVE his passion for music. That beats dating a surgeon or an attorney any day, for me. I love discussing politics over wine. The other day we had brunch and wound up talking about philosophy for an hour before I headed off to my minimum wage part time crappy job that puts me through postgrad. I rarely find conversations of that depth in people who haven't got college degrees, but that's just my experience. 1
Tayken Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Seriously, I did go to a four year college, I just don't have a degree. Are you being dense on purpose?

When all else fails, pull out the insult card. So you were just at the college to spectate then....I'll take your "for convenience" claim to be Gospel Have a nice day now HP

So you were just at the college to spectate then....I'll take your "for convenience" claim to be Gospel Have a nice day now HP True colors? YOU are the one who came at me and implied I was uneducated. You came at me with a post that was full of inaccuracies as well. I'm not spineless and won't let you insult me. I'm sorry you got butthurt in the process of trying to attack the education level of others. 1
jcrew11 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Good for you. Compliments I've received from men (without them knowing my education level) is that I'm highly articulate, quick witted and intelligent. You don't need a college degree to be those things. I abhor small talk and have a high need for cognition and high-brow rational discourse. I can carry a conversation well and have gained knowledge in an organic life experience kind of way. Basically, what it comes down to is preference. And I think I gathered a lot from this thread, good to know. I think the lawyer just thought you two were intellectually incompatible. Lawyers are primarily known as compulsive debaters who want to talk about complicated issues. In many cases, lawyers are hyper-personalities that can come of as annoying and anal, given the precise and exacting nature their jobs intellectually demand. If he feels that he can't discuss the NYT and Politico with you, then its his loss.

He apologized for offending me and was just trying to share his viewpoint. But after I heard his opinion about going to college or not and how I'm not as educated as him and lack experience, I was turned off and told him that I no longer found him a suitable match for me. 1

peruano99 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I would date a girl that I like and who has a great personality. It doesn't matter what kind of degree she has, or if she doesn't, as long as she is a good person and we are compatible. 1
ctxinfl Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I know far too many people with degrees to hold degree holders in any manner of higher regard than non-degree holders. I've met attorneys who could not operate a copy machine. I've met MBAs who were barely qualified to get sales jobs. In general degree holders are just as lazy and ignorant as the rest of society. 1

They don't need to. Operating a copy machine is not considered a job...It's common sense, it's the ability to figure it out on your own and knowing how to do the basics without relying on someone else to do it for you. And how hard is it to vacuum? A monkey can do it. It's ignorance is what it is.
