Are less educated women intimidated by more educated men?

Don't generalize. I have no degree, but have more ambition than anyone I know.

To address the original question- it's definitely possible for a woman to be intimidated by a man with more education. But it isn't the piece of paper that she is intimidated by, it must be the way you present yourself.

I had a female friend tell me once that younger girls are intimidated by older men. I seem to be experiencing this in my current situation.

I would be willing to bet that the bigger issue would be women Intimidated by higher percieved STATUS in a male. I've been chewing on this idea for awhile now.

It must be... I've been told so much before in the past. But the sad fact is, I can only act so dumb

I'm wondering about the same thing, but I can't seem to get all that much feedback on this issue.

Yep, that's a good point, too.

MD, I think you need to settle in your mind which of the 2 is at the top of your list, and play it from there in with her as your only target - don't try keep the other as a backup plan of any form, even subconciously. If the non-nurse is the one you want, despite her games, quite messing and go for it.

Otherwise it's gonna get messy.

Osc.

maybe its just me, and i haven't read through all the posts, but it seems like the issue may be totally irrelevant to the thread...He was hitting on her younger sister...That may have wiped him off the potential partner list entirely...

Thanks, Oscar. Very good, sound advice. Next to impossible for a guy like me to actually put into practice, but it's practical and it's something I guess I have to get into my head.
