I feel inferior to the women I'm attracted to due to a lack of education on paper... I never went to collage... and my job isn't that exciting... my job makes decent money, I mean I drive a new-ish car & have another car as a toy I also live alone...

But it seems like one of the first things that always comes up is, "what did you go to school for" and "so what do you do for a living"

Any tips?

It's all in your mind, man

How are you intellectually ?
I mean; What do you choose to focus your intelligence on ?


(here's a new one: It takes intelligence to understand how a car works, and how to improve it's function... The illusion that intelligence is only in reading books and knowing facts, is just that... an illusion.)

If you've chosen not to chase higher education, then that is something you've chosen, it doesn't make you less of a man.

So, hand them a rap with a pretty bow on, about how you don't follow the stressful idea of trying to increase ones value through diplomas and education, and instead focus on the things that bring you happiness.... Something like that.


Get comfortable in your skin, and decide whether the situation you're in currently is one you would feel good about, and if not, change it.

No excuses to yourself, if there's something in you that chooses to believe that higher education means something if it doesn't grant you the access to the kinds of job or position in life that you want, then rethink it once more, and then make the decision.

Don't hesitate to change your life into what you want it to be.

Secret excuses unto yourself is unacceptable.
You're you, and you're in the position that you want to be, and if people don't like that then fuck 'em.. They're not you...
As Hendrix said "I'm the one who's gonna die when it's time for me to die. So let me live my life the way I want to."


Inner game man,
Get your confidence wrapped.

Cheers.

I go to a low end community college and because of this i feel when talking to girls that go to a university i am inadequate to them educationally. to get over this whenever they ask where i go to school, or in your case where you went to school, just brush it off with some kind of joke like "oh i went to the school of witchcraft and wizardry" haha and about ur job, you can always go with the style method and say "im a drive test dummy, lighter repairman, puppet maker, ect..." never give them an accurate answer and be congruent.

do you really want a girl judging you for what you have or have not accomplished anyway? if you were a harvard graduate and made millions a year wouldnt you want to keep that discrete as a way to weed out money lovin hoes? good luck buddy

Well I do feel I am more intelligent then some people I know who do have degrees...

I guess I just get a little weird when someone asks me where I went...


nicely put.

Thanks guys.

Try a Motorcycle. They aren't as dangerous as people think, just like single-bullet Russian roulette.

Hehe, nice.

If you can demonstrate that not having a degree isn't because of missing intelligence, but because you have chosen it, nobody should put you down for that...
And if they try, fuck em over in a friendly discussion,
if they persist, they're not worth it, because they are most probably shallow people seeking a diploma to define for them who they are, and you automatically have higher value than them..
At least that's my take.




Take the roads you want, don't shut out the advice of others, but don't let them define who you are.
They're guests in your reality, not the other way around.


cheers,
