Perhaps you would be uneducated too if you had to start working at the age of 16 and lived in a country where higher education was simply not affordable to the young person that needed to work to support his widowed mother

So America?

I do this all the time whenever I meet people and/or go on 1st/2nd dates.

Some people have hobbies or interests or subject matters they really like to talk about. Meanwhile I've got a baseline understanding of it at best and can suspend it for the moment; just let them open up for a while. It makes for much better conversation than "yeah, I already know all about it", and shutting them down.

The other person is able to feel informative while also being able to talk about something they like and I get the benefit of getting a "read" on the person.

It sucks that women feel forced to do this in order to have increased marketability though.

This is a double edged sword. Being a well-educated man or woman makes for an often unpleasant dating experience. My friend and I are both PhD educated chemical engineers.

She and I are around the same age. She is two years older than me. She is about 5'8" and tips the scale at a number I'm pretty sure starts with a 3. She has a very pretty face and a sarcastic personality. She comes from a well to do family of a professionally educated mom and dad.

She would often complain to me about the intelligence of the men she dated. She thought they were dumb. If they weren't dumb, she would not accept a dad bod, I.e. a few extra pounds. She has been very unsuccessful in dating because of this. I went on a few dates with her but, although we were academically similar, our social stances were very different. We just never clicked on that level.

I also had trouble dating. I used to be very socially awkward. Some girls would flirt with me but I honestly didn't even understand that's what they were doing half the time. I didn't know how to talk to girls beyond the typical niceties, so I tried online dating. I had at least a half dozen conversations end when the girl stated how she didn't think we had much in common because I used too many words she didn't understand. I would thank them for their time and tell them I didn't think it was going to work out.

I finally found the woman for me but I would not have been happy if she had "dumbed down" for me. I need intellectual stimulation in my relationships. Now, after a few years of marriage, her intellect is up as is my communication skill. We completed each other nicely. My friend, she's still playing the field hoping to find her Mr Right.

My mother used to play the ignorant woman card to see who was bullshitting her the hardest when choosing who to deal with for things like vehicle repairs. It's amazing how often grease monkeys look down on and disrespect women by thinking that they'll throw their money at any car problem if it gets done.

Stuff like this angers me to no end. My wife took her car to the shop last week for a braking problem. They told her what they wanted to do to the car which was totally unrelated to the problem thinking she wouldn't know any better. They wanted money from the manufacturer and us to fix the problem. When she told me what they told her, I called them back to ask about this call. He tries the same crap again. I then proceeded to explain to him how the braking system on that car worked and asked for his exact troubleshooting methodology to reach his conclusion. He went back to the drawing board.

That's because women like to date Up. And as they continue to excel while men deteriorate, more accomplished women will have trouble finding their ideal man.

A truly solid man is more rare than a solid woman.

Everyone likes to date up. But men and women have different ideas of what that means. For women, that means dating a man of higher status and income. For men, it generally means dating a young, attractive woman. Women assume men are looking for the same things they are. Most men could care less about a woman's career achievements. Why do women still try to date up when they're successful and independent? They are only limiting their chances of finding someone by having unrealistic expectations.
