One of Libby's criteria was that she wouldn't submit to anyone less intelligent than she.  Fortunately, I keep her fooled.

Seriously, being able to maintain a good conversation should be important to everyone.

I am self taught in well... just about everything. I have no degrees. I can still hold my own with my buddy who has a PHD in History... and Poli-sci degrees. This morning he lost his mind and asked if I know who Sir Walter Raliegh was.. ( I had picked up a book on his coffee table about his wife Bess.) I had to remind him who he was speaking to.. and he slapped himself on the forehead.

I also think Wisdom *along* with book smarts is very important. I have known people who were book smart.. but very stupid and idiotic otherwise. ~ They irk me.

Smart Men are sexy. As are Smart Women.

Status: offline 		Given the dubious "quality" of some of the higher education programs I've evaluated, and the simple fact that not going to Uni by no means makes one 'uneducated', the idea of whether someone has a formal 'rubber stamp' of intelligence would never occur to me. Whether they can carry a reasonable conversation on world politics, philosophy and/or the proper way to make alcoholic chocolate strawberries...now -that's- a determining factor.

In short. education =/= intelligence.

Status: offline 		Intelligence and the posession of knowledge is one thing, but they aren't necessarily guaranteed by the posession of a college degree, or necessarily absent in those who don't.
 
Mom didn't have a college degree, but they weren't required back when she became a nurse.  She is just as, if not much more knowledgable about nursing, having been in the field for 50 years, than the sister who struggled hard, academically, for 10 years to obtain a Bachelor's, then a Masters degree.  she has very little experience and absolutely no common sense, bless her heart, but her determination and perserverance got her those degrees, and this slave is proud of her effort.
 
The posession of a college degree or degrees, is not a way for this slave to discern if she would be able to have an intelligent conversation, much less a fulfilling, intimate relationship with another.
 
She has met far too many idiots with initials after their names, bestowed upon them by various institutions, to believe different.

Status: offline 		Yes it's important to me. I do best with men with college or higher education and blue collar hands. I find that most of the problems in life are small ones, but they loom big in the moment. So having someone with sufficient education to get along with my family and friends on an equal level is important. And equally so is that he be able to fix small things, or tell me what needs to be done. I hate being at the mercy of a mechanic or repairman when they could tell me anything, and I would have no choice but to accept it and pay it. If he can fix things he does, if he can't he'll tell me it's the solenoid on the washing machine and I can then tell that to the repairman.

He even talked me through repairing the track to the garage door when my oldest still had her permit and backed into it, preventing it from closing. If I had had to call the garage door company it would have been several days and over a hundred dollars. As it was, the people at the hardware store fixed the bent bracket for only a few dollars.

Status: offline 		I think if I was single and looking, someone's education might be rather important to me, because it would weed out a lot of people I wouldn't get along with. But I am married to a man who I consider an intellectual equal, not because of his education level, but because he is challenging to me and the way I think. Honestly he'd be rather bored with a university education, and I envy his talent with building/repairing guitar because it means he doesn't need that piece of paper at the end of 4 years to prove he's done something with his life. He has his workshop and business and a college degree pales in comparison. He does love listening to what I learn while I'm in school and sometimes can think of things that illuminate the subject even more for me.

Status: offline 		Having never gone to uni simply because the costs and logistics were too much- I'd never judge anyone's, Master, Dom or otherwise, based on the amount of time they have spent in education.

I, for example, have a Diploma in Childcare and Education, a two year course, which means I can converse fluently in childcare matters but not much else. It does, however, mean I can support myself- to quite a high standard of living, considering where I'm from.

So if I had two 'potentials' to decide between- based on facts before talking to them- I'd get to know them before deciding, rather than losing the one without the bit of paper.

Daddy happens to have a Master's degree, and i'm nearly finished with mine, but really i find what's most important is that we both enjoy reading and we have enough life experience to have things to talk about. In fact, we've had some great conversations about both politics and religion. I like Daddy's intelligence, and i know well enough that his intelligence has more to do with who he is and the life he's experienced than it does with the fact that he graduated from college with a Master's degree...

Status: offline 		This is a very subjective topic, and to each his own, some see university as a higher level of education than college, and some see high school as all that is necessary, but we have to really look at it the same way we view beauty.  Not everyone sees it the same way, and just because one has not completed high school or has completed post secondary, does that really make them any more attractive?  It is all in how you view the world, is their ability to converse with you or understand you affected?  Again to each his own, some find it a necessity, some find it an appealing level.  No one can speak for you and those who judge or are judged for their accomplishements or seemingly lack there of should be careful, because who you are and what you are is not really defined by your education, but how you carry yourself, and again is subjective to those involved in the relationship.

Status: offline 		intelligent people are always educated.  some have pieces of paper for their efforts, some learn what they do on their own.

capability is not measured by a (in many cases misrepresentative) piece of paper.

at the same time, while some employers (just to drag them in as an example) might not limit who they hire based on if they have a 4 year degree, if they're looking for someone with that level of intelligence, an 18 year old straight out of highschool is about as likely to possess sufficient knowledge or capability, whether claiming to have learned it on their own or not, as i am likely to being a microwave who secretly trolls the forums of CM. 

for the most part though, there's a difference between knowledge, intelligence, or education as compared to knowing what to do with them, which is generally referred to as wisdom.

as far as what i look for or is important to me, as long as they're smart enough to have taken the long bus to school, they're smart enough that their intelligence will not be the deciding factor as to whether or not i like them.

Status: offline 		Both my sisters married Ph.D.s, and a greater pair of arrogant intellectual snobs I've never met.

I would like my partner to be at least as intelligent as I, but a degree or string of letters after his name wouldn't impress me. My dad said that he would rather someone be smart than intelligence - common sense rather than book-learning. Much can be learned in the 'real world' that matches or exceeds what is learned in a classroom. I'd pit my knowledge of English grammar and punctuation against the most highly educated English major.

Status: offline 		I am at uni at the moment doing a degree in health science (Naturapathy) I can spend hours talking about most things related to this industry but I can't talk politics with someone for example because I just don't get it. Having or not have a degree/masters/PHD does not make you any smarter then the next person it just means you sacrificed many years of your life to follow your dreams or get the qualification that would allow you to work where you want to work.

Master does not have any higher education however he is smart and wise. He often talks about things that i have no idea about just because it is a topic that doesn't interest me. Just because he did not do higher education does not mean he is less in my eyes.
