Do men need college to be successful and attractive to women?

swrdfsh2 · 2022-09-16T04:19:04+00:00

No. As someone who didn’t graduate and has a highly lucrative career.

Your drive determines your success.

Not necessarily. Trade jobs can make you successful. Some successful business owners never went to college. What makes it really attractive is the drive. We generally don't want anyone lazy. We want someone who wants to be successful. That can be achieved in a multitude of ways.

What do you think?

No. But in general college-education individuals do earn more money, so if money is important to you, it might be something to look into. Of course, there are ways to earn good money having never gone to college as well. I have a few friends in tech who skipped college and taught themselves stuff and make 6 figures now.

As for women, every woman is different. Some will care, some won't. "Successful with women" is always a strange phrase to me. I'm happily married but I was never "successful with women" in some player who hooks up with new women every other week way, but you don't need to be successful with some nebulous concept of "women", you just need to be successful with a single, individual woman.

A lot of people here are simply saying “no”, or “it’s a status thing”, which can be true for some.

However, I do want to point out that a lot of people are missing the component of compatibility . What kind of woman do you want as a partner? Someone who has sacrificed a lot and spent 10 years earning a doctorate degree is going to have different life priorities and values than someone who just lives in the moment after high school, prefers instant gratification, and decides they’re going to try to be a freelance artist. Neither of these is better than the other, but you can see how these experiences can affect someone’s personality and life values.

So think about that. What kind of future do you envision, and who would be compatible with that?

Of course not!

There are MANY careers and life choices that do not involve formal university education -- some of these are quite lucrative and some are not. I will note the more lucrative choices do involve some sort of formal training/apprenticeship program (electrician, plumbing, construction, etc.). This scenario does not involve a man, but I think it's still relevant - my former partner did not have a 4-year degree (though she did have an associates' degree) but worked her way up to an incredibly successful career (because she wound up with a company that reimbursed tuition expenses, she eventually earned a BA). I was very attracted to her drive and motivation, and I thought it was really awesome and mature that she chose NOT to go into a massive amount of debt in order to attend a traditional university.

The right person for you is going to be attracted to you because of your personality, your passions, and your values and how you make them feel.

You don't need it but people with degrees (on average) earn more and are seen as having more status.

As someone with a Bachelor's (still in uni though): If you don't want to study, don't do it. "Real" degrees, so STEM, law, medicine/health-care more broadly are a ton of work. If you have no real interest you won't make it.

imullyn · 2022-09-16T15:18:44+00:00

No, wether you go to college or not doesn’t determine wether you have a “successful” or not life, and you may even find women who have not went to college or even if they did— did not have a successful life.

Everything is different for everyone

Additional-Bag5255 · 2022-09-16T19:10:07+00:00

Lolol at the comments. Being fit and attractive is number one. If you’re looking to KEEP someone then it comes down to the other things. Trust me

West-Kiwi-6601 · 2022-09-16T20:25:34+00:00

I would never date a woman who made it a requirement, red flag to me. I want to be loved for my charm, humour and wit, not drive. If she says drive then it tells me she wants a work horse to make her money, even if she is a good person and doesn't think that, you could never really know.

National_Damage · 2022-09-17T12:16:01+00:00

Not necessarily no. I have college degree and two postgraduate degrees from to 10 world universities and still struggle with women. Though i have to admit i mostly study because i enjoy it not necessarily because it would make me more attractive.. There are so many people i have met who were smarter than i am and did not go to college and ended up very well. I choose this path because it was what i enjoyed, if what you want does not involve college and you feel you can do well by pursuing it than by all means go !

No, especially now with worthless degrees and graduates earning less. A lot of them would have been better just going into the workforce. They're earning the same as peers without degrees, in jobs that don't require degrees, but have student loan debt and lost years of earnings. Companies are waking up to graduates not being worth it and finding other ways to vet applicants. Top universities still have value mind you. But for your average school, the value is dropping. You can earn a good living without a degree, you can be cultured without a degree. So many of these people are "educated", but know little, or know harmful things. People want to be, generally, with bright, financially stable, good people. Don't need college to do that. There are women who won't "date down" for men without a degree. But those will get fewer and fewer as people realize how useless many of these degrees are. The data showing degree holders earn more has been decreasing as more people who shouldn't be in school, enter it. The kind of person it's worthwhile too can also be a success without it. Smart women know that and go for those men. Working class women do too. Don't go to college unless you can afford it, are getting a valuable degree with good return on the investment, and another general rule of thumb, if your father went to college, then you are probably the kind who would benefit and not a lower IQ person caught in the hype/push for everyone to go to college. Just have a plan. same if you don't go, plan your future, don't let it just happen to you. Being that kind of person will also help attract potential spouses. There's also a reason people keep championing the trades. There's a dearth of a lot of those workers and they often make good money, more than their university credentialed fellow men. So if that's the right fit, it's an option too.

Being smart helps, but this isn’t the kind of question that demonstrates wisdom.

You could look around you and find proof everywhere to find the answer. So you may want to rephrase the question.

DisasterPeace7 · 2022-09-16T04:33:59+00:00

No not necessarily, it does help a lot though, status is attractive to a lot of women, if you were to poll women at least in this country would they rather date the lawyer who is thousands and thousands of dollars in debt, or the guy who went to trade school and became a plumber even though they make great money, I think most of the women are going to go for the lawyer🤷‍♂️

Nah u can be a frickin hobo, just need a hot face and luck with genes

JonF1 · 2022-09-16T04:25:27+00:00

No. Most Americans do not have a college degree, let alone attempt college.

Legitimate-Ad3832 · 2022-09-17T18:02:13+00:00

Attractive to women

This is a silly term because everyone is an individual, looking at women as some kind of homogenous group where if you do x,yz or look like this then all women will find you attractive is nonsense.

Some women will care about college, some won't.

carritotaquito · 2022-09-20T00:01:26+00:00

NOPE!!!!

A man who's well read and knows about a variety of subjects, despite lacking a college degree, will be more interesting than some degree holder with not much critical thinking.
