&gt; I say this as a person who met a woman who said she basically doesn&#x27;t date anyone who has anything less than a Master&#x27;s degree.<p>At first, I thought that is petty.  However, such bluntness is helpful to you; you get to very quickly (i.e. never date) select against a potentially improper partner.  Supposing you have a Bachelor&#x27;s, would you want to date a woman who only dated men with a Bachelor&#x27;s degree or higher?<p>My first guess is that she is avoiding sub-Master&#x27;s degreed men as a means to avoid boring, wealthy, and&#x2F;or immature men.  My second guess is that she might be trying to use a simple criterion to select among a relatively high volume of date offers.
