Is it classist to want to date/marry someone who has a college degree?
Inspired to ask because of listening to Doug Benson’s bit where he calls women out for saying they want a man with “a sense of humor” only because it’s socially unacceptable to say you want “cocks and money.”
For myself, I don’t need to date/marry a rich man; I just think that finishing college correlates with intelligence and the ability to stick with something and see it through. Plus there’s the old “we’d have more in common” (the fairly bogus excuse often used by people as to why they wouldn’t date outside their race).
I have dated men who dropped out of school, and I have never turned down a date with someone because of his educational status. Would I rather date an unemployed guy with a Bachelor’s, or a dropout with a job? Hard to say, as long as neither one had kids. It’s not like I have a lot of options in the romantic world; like I say, Doug just got me thinking.

Yes. Marriage is a financial instituion, though, so it’s understandable. But there are ton of hardworking/smart people without degrees.
