>>I notice women like to mention their education and career when it is impressive. But do men really give a damn about that?”

Regardless of whether or not it’s impressive, why would a man not give a damn about a woman’s education and career if he’s interested in her?<<

If I was still single I’d rather marry a waitress than a successful career roman if the waitress was 1) prettier. or 2) had a better personality. I never thought to look at a woman’s earning potential. It’s just not on my radar of things that make a woman wife material. Does it affect your thought process?

Dated a woman who had bags of money , parents were millionaires , and she had her masters etc.

While she treated me OK, she did not treat others good at all and she was as thick as two short planks.

I married another woman with no college, has a sense of humor, good moth and we have been married for 20 years .

Most successful women care more about themselves and their careers than actually caring about others and they have a bad attitude.

Education and career don’t just take the path to income/earning potential. And that’s why your post confused me. One draws a fair amount of their life experience from their education and career. Or lack thereof. It ain’t all about the bucks.

So if a guy is out there, looking to find a wife, I’d personally hope he’d care about his potential mate’s choices in education and career. Not because of the income, but because, hey, it’s a reflection of who she is overall as a person. A high school dropout who waits tables is probably not going to be a stable spouse. A high school grad or college grad who has focused on a career she enjoys (waiting tables or being an engineer) and made an effort through hard work and dedication to get where she is would probably be a better choice.

But more than that, work and education (or lackthereof) are a part of almost everyone’s life. And life history. Why wouldn’t you give a damn about how a potential spouse got to where she is?
