I just like to begin the convos and then lurk, but once I think I'm out, you keep bringing me back in.

i normally do not respond to forums with anything that might be construed as inflamatory. i am a firm believer that if you can't say anything nice...Keep your mouth shut! However, to this i have to say something. i have a high school diploma and some college and i am gainfully employed fully capable of supporting myself and my family in a reasonably comfortable manner. To imply that without a college degree, a woman is somehow lesser than one who does have one is entirely prejudiced. i personally consider myself an intelligent, well-spoken, capable person, and my lack of a college diploma does not change that.

Just my two cents...that and 4 years of college might make me change my mind! lol

I guess I should have specified formal education in this too. I do not feel that formal education is a big thing...I mean personally if some girl with glasses and a book under her shoulder came to me (unless she had the whole schoolgirl get up ::wink::) I wouldn't think that we had too much in common. But I do prefer someone that has a wealth of knowledge, as I stated before. To me thats the type of person that can carry on a conversation about pretty much anything and interest you. And when I say match wits, I also mean just "hold their own." This post didnt really add to the discussion, as I just like to start them, you guys are the ones that keep them going.

I am confused on how I was thrown in with college degree smart...Never did I say I prefer someone with a degree or anything, I just made mention of the fact...I know many people that are intelligent and all they have is street smarts...so please stop insinuating that I prefer book smart people. So stop referring to me, I just like to begin the convos and then lurk, but once I think I'm out, you keep bringing me back in.

So, my point was, a college degree may have not a whit to do with a person's attractiveness or worth or dignity, but it will help them compete in a more hostile economy.

Was reading this thread a couple of times and it seem that most people have responded with their own opinions as they what they find attractive. This is how it should be except that some even appeared to “attack” other for differing in opinion (that is my take of the general drift). Personally I strangely enough do have a wide selection of friends about this country called Aussie as well as many scattered over the globe including those who live in the US. They also differ widely in their social standing as well as their educational levels. I do know that each one has endeared them selves to me for many reasons and I find each one’s company attractive. I guess that we all will find attractive those with whom we feel most comfortable. Again each to his/her own.

My sentiments precisely pink. Again you have hit the nail on the head.

I wasn't being sincere.

The enemies of LROD may have found the best way to discourage me from posting: make me explain it all.

Lord, in my opinion, don't bother to explain,,,as they read more, possibly they will figure it out on their own after reading threads for a while. If not, oh well.......we told you before, the majority do not want LROD to go away!!

pinkpleasures, i appologize. i am a little sensitive to this subject as a i am a service industry employed person. Many people, both in and out of this lifestyle, seem to assume, because of my lack of a college education, that i am not as intelligent/capable/secure as someone who does have one. As a result, i may have vented unfairly on here and on you. i appologize.

Rob, You are the f**king Op who started this thread. Of course people are going to reply to You...that's how the boards work. You "just want to start" topics and then "lurk" without being "brought back in". That is just not how the boards work. If You do not want to "be brought in"; try not posting and just read.

pink you really are a treat. I enjoy readig your posts for some how they match with my views more often than not. I must ask one question though <plants tongue firmly in my cheek> Does your comment I've quoted mean that if I call you a "Classy" lady (which would be complementry although I could do a "Boggy" ad call you a "classy broard" or "Classy dame" < chuckles and winks>) you would dispise me? I'm always an incorrigible, irrepressible and irreverent Grizzly Bear.
