Have you ever thought that you would never date a guy without a college degree? Some of the most successful businessmen never went to college, and they've still done very well for themselves. Some think that getting practical experience will serve you better than spending years building up debts at college. Here are some great reasons to date a guy without a college degree …

1. Qualifications Don't Equal Intelligence
One reason why it's fine to date a guy without a college degree is that qualifications don't mean the same thing as intelligence. People who haven't had the chance to go to college (or chose not to) are every bit as smart as those who did. Some may even be smarter. Studying at college gives you qualifications, but much can be learned through self-education.
Absolutely! College education isn't the only marker of intelligence or success. People without degrees can be just as amazing, wise, and driven as those with degrees.
Definitely. A degree doesn't determine someone's ability to be loving, supportive, and a great partner. It's all about the person's character and how they treat you.
While a degree can open certain doors, many people succeed in their careers without one. Skills, experience, and determination count for a lot!
No way! What matters is how you feel about each other, not what others think. Love isn't about degrees; it's about the connection and understanding between two people.
Yes, it can! What counts is mutual respect and common values. Education levels don't have to define your relationship if you communicate well and support each other.
2. Practical
Guys who aren't particularly studious often have other talents. They may be brilliant at practical things rather than being academic. Some would argue that guys like these are far more useful than guys who have degrees but are useless at fixing things. When you date a practical guy, your car will always run smoothly and he'll know how to fix everything in your house.

3. Prospects
I'm all for education, but the recent years have shown that having a degree doesn't guarantee you a job. There are plenty of graduates working jobs that don't require a degree. A guy who has spent the college years working his way up may actually have better prospects. By the time he is 22 he has several years of experience in his job, instead of looking for his first job.

4. Shouldn't Judge
It's important not to judge people; just because they don't have a college degree doesn't mean that they're not clever, and it certainly doesn't mean that they're not nice. A guy is worth dating because he shares your values and interests, not because he reached a certain academic level. You could miss out on some really great guys if you dismiss anyone who never attended college.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
5. Essential
Guys who didn't go to college are often extremely hardworking people, and they perform some pretty essential jobs. Think of how many jobs don't need a degree. We would be helpless if it weren't for plumbers, mechanics, builders, shop assistants, farmers …

... electricians, and so many other professionals who keep our daily lives running smoothly. Remember, the value of a person is not measured by the diplomas on their walls but by their character and how they treat you. These guys often have practical skills that have been honed through experience, which can be incredibly attractive. They're the backbone of society, and without them, things would grind to a halt. So, when thinking about your next date, consider the man who might just be able to fix your leaky faucet as well as your heart.

6. Ambitions
You don't have to go to college when you're 18 - lots of people retrain later in life. It's never too late to get the qualifications you want. So a guy without a degree can always return to college and study, if he wants to. Sometimes you don't have the interest in studying when you're young.

7. Nice Guy
Finally, the most important thing about a guy is that he treats you well. Ultimately, those are the only qualifications he really needs, so see his academic qualifications as secondary. A guy with a clutch of degrees may not be as nice as another who missed out on college, so judge him on more important factors.
Even if you think you're not particularly snobby, you may unconsciously have chosen to date guys who went to college. If you meet one who didn't, don't dismiss him. He could be a smart, dedicated, hardworking guy. He may even be a tycoon in the making? What would make you turn a guy down?

Michelle: This is so true!
Hend: i'm in love with this post!
andiena: I dont want to sound like i'm hopeless girl who really need bf - but sometime I feel like My bF is less Ambition and still like kids playing around with friends and doesnt even have a saving account, (i dont know he didnt get well paid or something) I'm agree with @holly, but i dont know what to do, Im trying to see him in good view even sometime i think Something goes wrong with us - If he loves me, i guess he has plans and ambition to work and save money to come and live here with me - I understand Long distance relationship get lot of problems - but I dont see Ambitions or initiative from My bF :(
Marwa: I agree with this article. I know men who have college degrees who are conceited self-absorbed spoiled brats. And i also know men who were unable to attend college because either of the financial burden or they had no support so they had to work from a young age but who are considerate and kind and take responsibility very seriously. There's the good and the bad... Lets's not be so harsh with our judgement and start labeling ppl based on the exterior and not giving a chance to know that person.
Meghan: Everyone is different! I know many men without a college degree who are wise and open-minded. I ALSO know many men WITH a college degree who are unintelligent and, to be blunt, assholes. Therefore; I don't think it's fair to generalize and call every man without a college degree unmotivated or dumb based off one experience... or based on your obvious ignorance.. Cough couch, girls above. Plus keep in mind, not many people are privileged enough to attend college. Try not to be such jerks in the future.
Holly: My exboyfriend has a GI bill and says he never wants to go to college. And here I am putting myself through school and hoping there will be a job that will allow me to pay back my debts. I know college isn't for everyone but if a man doesn't have any ambition in life, (with or without wanting a degree/certification), that should be a red flag.
Maggie: My bf is 20 making $38 an hour with a union job and that's w no college and because of the no college there are NO student loans. So there u go. To the judgmental narrow minded girl up top, College doesn't always matter and doesn't define how successful you are or what kind of person you are
Joanna: So true. Sometimes work experience can supplement a degree too!
LARHAGE: I know guys with college degrees that I'm surprised can cross the street without getting hit, they're book smart and social misfits , I've dated both , my current guy is self employed and makes 65.00 an hour, it's physical work but he has my complete respect and admiration , the best thing is he can fix anything and that's a major turn on! My last college grad man , well thank God he had a degree, he needed the money to pay for every repair, hell, I knew my way around the toolbox better than him, I don't know, there's something sexy about a rugged, self reliant man with bulging arm muscles and jeans :0
TheYellow1: WOW, some people are very narrow minded!
