I'll bite on this one. It can be fun to date below your social station. It can be fun to take them to restaurants they could never afford, drive them around in your car they could never afford, and bring them to social events with other doctors as your trophy. The sex is amazing. I remember once having to explain the concept of what the stock market is on a date. The game gets old. They have next to no earning potential, and that means if you marry them you're just signing up to split your salary with them.... Now you get to pay alimony. Fun to play with, nice to touch, but I'm not going to make any long term investment. I might be the minority here but I just cannot date nurses. With all due respect to all the nurses out there, I cannot see myself dating one. I get along with them just fine. They even flirted and asked me out in the past. Don't get me wrong, I know there are good nurses and bad nurses just like any professions. There are very smart ones and there are other extreme too. There are pretty ones of course, but they just turn me off completely. Something about being a nurse just turn me off. I have no problem with dating pharmacists, speech therapists, heck even the gift shop girls or anyone else in life but just not nurses I might be the minority here but I just cannot date nurses.

The problem is that being uneducated or less formally educated, to be precise is not equivalent to being unintelligent, which is what the original post implies to a certain degree... I could never date someone who was markedly less intelligent than me. And I don't say that out of ego, I say it because it's just true. And I think most people would agree that they want a partner of equal intelligence, give or take a little. However, I would have no problem dating someone who had attended fewer years of school than I have, as long as they had ambition and passion in their chosen field.
