    I think the “professor “ is full of shit. College Educated women that want to mate will find a mate . I know too many women with college degrees that married cops, firemen, aircraft mechanics, electricians, etc.
    And their husbands are the breadwinners.
    Those women are low paid teachers or part time workers such as nurses , dental hygienists, and what not.
    My own niece is a veterinarian (DVM) and has a PhD from Cornell while her husband has nothing more than a h.s. education.

    I read Anna Karinina after one of your threads about Russian novels. I think it took me about three months. Won’t make that mistake again. lol

    I actually do not know anything about you, rarely read anything you write, and generally find you uninspired, boring, and not particularly well spoken.

    I can see why you abhor higher education.

    It is weird that you seemingly think about me a lot.

    .
    Pretty much how I consider you in addition to being pompous and insecure. To each their own. E.g., I find the mechanics of a golf swing fascinating. Never stop learning. But I was always into athletics , tennis, swimming and baseball in h.s. , not just doing but learning the fundamentals of technique. Still do three workouts a week with Masters swimming.

    Yes, a B.S. in biology with a minor in chemistry, then four years of hell in dental school will do that to a person. I was burned out.

    “Seemingly “ is the key word here, you got that right. I find it weird that it “seems” to you I actually think about you but that’s consistent with your narcissism.

    Most folks that speak and understand more than one language didn’t get it from college. In fact my German that I learned on my own is far better than the Spanish I got from school.
    Science, philosophy, and math are not cultures, they are subjects.

    Don’t know. Is expresslane a libertarian? I got the impression he was a republican.
    Expresslane is a Pro-Trump poster on this forum.

    You deny philosophy, science mathematics, history, logic. Your mind has been poisoned.
