  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

How important is educational level?

Education level is not as important to me as is someone who is financially able to support themselves and can carry on a good conversation about many different things.

In my experience though, I have found guys to become "aloof" once they find out I have a MBA, so I usually don't bring up the subject of education.

To me it is of utmost importance to have someone who can converse with me on an equally intellectual level (not that that's asking for a whole lot). I find intelligence to be very attractive, and someone who is of only average physical appearance could be put over the top by a sparkling wit and able mind.

Addendum: I have had some experiences with girls who, once they find out that I can think above a 10th grade level, tend to get somewhat uncomfortable. I'm not claiming to be an Einstein, but I can usually hold my own in a deep discussion. Some seem to find it charming, and others disarming, but to most it is harming.

Had to make my 100th post special, and what better way than a ridiculous and corny rhyme?

People label me as "deep" and intellectual so I've always felt that I needed a guy that could lighten me up, help me take risks, and help me enjoy life.

It always bothered me the way guys treated me when they found out my major and where I went to school. But having a highly educated spouse is not important to me. I have the sciences/arts covered so I've always wanted a guy that was "smart" in a different way than I am. This really bothered my parents and extended family because they didn't think that a man who didn't attend a prestigious university could relate to me. LOL

Well anyways, I have always like guys that were athletic but businessmen. However, experience is a lot more important than educational level.
