What’s the difference between people who expect women to have a certain level of education and those who don’t care about academic background at all?
This content is machine-translated.
I get the impression that men who passed the entrance exams for medical school or elite universities like the University of Tokyo on their first try don’t care about a woman’s educational background. On the other hand, men who spent time retaking entrance exams seem to prefer intelligent women. What do you think?

From the perspective of people who got into medical school or prestigious universities like the University of Tokyo straight out of high school, I think everything else simply isn’t something they worry about.
It’s the people who didn’t get into those schools who obsess over academic background, as if they had a bone stuck in their throat.
But are people like that really attracted to highly educated partners? I can understand caring about whether someone is more educated than you, though.
And from a woman’s perspective, men like that don’t come across as particularly attractive.

I graduated from one of Japan’s former Imperial Universities, but I feel that, for many men in papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), a woman’s educational background is more of a bonus—something that’s nice to have.
People have complimented me on my education, but I’ve never felt that they were interested in me solely because of it.
(Though I didn’t do papa-katsu when I was a university student, so I may simply never have met someone who specifically liked highly educated female students.)
In any case, I get the impression that most papas make a general, intuitive judgment based on the overall vibe rather than being interested in someone specifically because she’s highly educated.
I’ve never felt that it depended on the papa’s background, either.
I’m not sure how much of an answer this is, but that’s my personal impression.

People often say, “We seek what we don’t have.”
I think that’s pretty spot-on.
I graduated from a high school that wasn’t particularly academically prestigious, so education isn’t what I’m looking for through a dating club. What matters is whether she’s genuinely engaged with me.
I’m an old man, so I know that may be difficult, but if I feel she’s truly present and sincere, I’m happy to maintain a long-term arrangement.

In papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), they don’t ask about your educational background.
Regardless of her academic credentials, they’re looking for a woman who’s smart.

Whether it was papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) or ordinary dating, I’ve dated all kinds of people, from high school graduates and college dropouts to Keio and Waseda graduates, but I’ve never felt that a man was judging me based on my educational background…
When I think of someone caring about academic credentials, I picture a very serious relationship with marriage in mind. Do people really consider education important outside of that?
There are problematic people with impressive degrees, and wonderful people without much formal education too, haha.
