Status: offline 		I think the answer may vary depending on where you were raised.  Let me explain; I went to high school in the Southern United States.  Most of my classmates did not attend the local junior college, let alone leave the state for Uni.  As I looked for a partner I valued a college education, because I associated it with a person who sought to better themselves, and grow beyond a small town mindset.  My correlation was not correct, but it was a simple way in which I filtered potential mates.  While I no longer believe that one has to be college educated to be considered intelligent, I still find that I am more attracted to those who've attended college simply because of the shared nature of experiences.  If one is not college educated, I would at least hope them to be well travelled.

Status: offline 		I have always appreciated intelligence and good common sense.  My Master has 2 advanced degrees and we both used to work in the same career field, which is how we met.  It's great to be with someone who can share everyday chit-chat, kink stuff, as well as someone who knows the jargon of the work world.  I wouldn't be able to submit to a knucklehead, I'd end up topping him in a heartbeat.  Bad habit, it flips my switch to ON.

Status: offline 		TheEngineer called me tonight, and we had a lively debate going...i said something that he found to be in error, and i was delighted that he corrected me without making me feel stupid, and i thanked him for pointing out my error.  we both learned something.  he learned i dont have to always be right to be happy, and i learned that he understands me enough to correct me without hurting me.

Daddy does the same thing...teaches me quietly during a conversation, and is happy to see me take it to heart. 

i've always said that no matter how pretty someone is, no matter how skilled in doing the things they do in and out of bed, sooner or later you have to talk to them and its a hella lot better if they can hold up their end of a conversation.

Status: offline 		Education does make a difference. My son and daughter are good examples of that. She has a degree and he dose'nt. When she is with friends he walks away because he says that they talk over his head. When they are both talking with thier friends you can tell the difference. I think it is all on how you interact with people that makes the difference. Education is a great thing to have but being an asshole negates that.

Status: offline 		I'll agree with the others. Intelligence is a must, Education is a plus. Personally, I wat my boys to have degrees becasue they will be better suited to follow their chosen professions with them. Fox wants to teach, and without a formal education he cant. Angel is in computer programming, and he coud never have gotten his position without at least being in the program and on his way to a degree.
If they had had other aspirations, which could have been reached without a higher education, than I would have been happy with high school graduates who were actively pursing their goals.
Intelligence, however, is nonnegotiable. I am intelligent and well spoken. I need to be with someone who ca at the very least keep up with me. It thrills me that the boys can eclipse me in certain realms. They can be submissive to me and yet still prove their intelligence respectfully. Someone who cant keep up a converation would bore me quickly.

Status: offline 		As it has been said intellect is not education. I didn't finish college for many reason but I can hold My own with most. My brother is finishing his Doctorate and sometimes he uses words that I don't know but it is also his field. I could use words in My field that several wouldn't know. I try to speak to people on a level they can understand. Over all I am a simple person, jeans, t-shirts, boots and bikes. Just because I don't have the book smarts doesn't mean I am not have intelligence. Just My thoughts.

Status: offline 		I've a B.Sc (Hons) degree but I'd have to say that the one thing I've learnt from life is that education does not equal intelligence. Intelligence is more than knowledge, it's knowing how to hold a conversation and enquire about things. Having an open mind, being inquisitive and having the desire to learn are qualities that I look for in an intelligent person.

Status: offline 		I'm not really all that concerned about someone else's education. I have too much education (not actually a brag as I really should have stopped a LONG TIME ago), but I love to listen to the ideas of others, and I believe everyone has a voice of intelligence within him or her; sometimes finding it can take some effort, however.

I was once very lucky to come across a woman who had less formal education than I had, but her wisdom was off the scales. I still miss her to this day.

Status: offline 		To me intelligence has little to do with education. i know alot of very intelligent people, my Master included.. None of these people have any degrees or higher learning certificates to "show for" their inherent intelligence. That in itself does not make them any "less" intelligent.

Education is an opportunity for intelligent people, not a requirement to prove such.

Status: offline 		I, at one time, would only date someone with a post-graduate education. I have a doctorate myself and thought someone with less wouldn't be able to keep up. I dated many, many arrogant a**holes (doms and vanilla).
 
One of this lifetime's lessons for me is to learn not to be so judgemental.
 
Master has intelligence, wisdom, street smarts, compassion, curiosity, a flexibility of mind that many with more formal education lack, and a GED. He also is in no way intimidated by my education and/or intelligence (something I cannot say for all those MBAs and lawyers I dated).
 
His area of expertise (sp?) is dominance of the mind. I've yet to see a university offer a degree in that.
