I asked 6 men "does her education and career matter to you?" men in their 20's I asked two 20 year old men who are graduated from college and working within their fields they got their degrees in does it matter if she went to college and what her job is I asked the man with the bachelor's degree what if she only has her associates degree ? I asked two men in their 30s with bachelor's degrees who are working in their fields does it matter what her education level is and what her career is they both said yes absolutely it matters they both said that a bachelor's degree would be like the minimum the one man did marry a woman who has her master's degree and he said you know it's not like she needs her master's degree but it's part of what attracted him to her is like wow she is so smart then I ask all of these men the very scary question what if this woman was absolutely perfect for you she is absolutely the woman of your dreams? does it matter that she is educated or if she is working in a career the two 18 year olds said because we are young and I will help her go to college so that doesn't matter to me the two 20 year old men said honestly I don't see my dream girl being somebody who isn't at least a little bit educated and the two 30 year olds well one of them said I did marry my dream girl and honestly it's like a combination thing you know her education is a part of who she is like that's a piece of her and the other man said for me like if she was my dream woman I truly believe she would be an educated woman

Note this little piece of journalism is not to convince women to get an education or a job for a man (I hope you want both for yourself) but to show you men are not thinking about making compromises for the woman they want to be with. Stop making compromises for men. It’s okay to have standards 🌸 #themoderndreamgirl #adviceforwomen #women #men #relationships
