I would but it has tended not to work out well for various reasons.
我会的，但出于多种原因结果也不会好。

Also, education is a huge deal in my family. Everyone has advanced degrees and the women in my family are really judgmental about whom I date.
而且教育在我家里是件大事，家里每个人都受过高等教育，家里的女性成员也很干涉我的恋爱。

But more to my preferences. I’m just really attracted to a woman who is smart, well-read and educated. I find intelligence incredibly attractive. Some might say that means I’m a sapiosexual. But I refuse to use that term.
但更多的是因为我自己的喜好，我真的喜欢聪明、博学、受过良好教育的女孩。我感觉智慧真的超有吸引力，有些人会说这意味着我是个智性恋（只与智商超过自己的人谈恋爱），但我不喜欢用这个词。

Yes and I have. I didn't just date one, I married one.
是的我已经爱上一个了。我不仅和这样的人恋爱了，而且结婚了。

I have under graduate degrees in physics and computer science, and a graduate degree in computer science. My husband has an under graduate degree in philosophy.
我有物理学和计算机科学学士学位、计算机科学研究生学位，我丈夫有心理学学士学位。

But that is just on paper. My husband chose a life long path of self education early on since his childhood.
但那只是一纸学历，我丈夫早在童年时起就选择了自我教育的人生之路。

He wrote cloud enabled apps without taking a single programming class in his life.

Absolutely.
当然会。

My wife and I both have Master’s degrees.
妻子和我都有研究生学历。

She’s very smart. She’s been very smart for as long as I’ve known her.
她很聪明，从我认识她开始就是这样。

And, since she was my first and only girlfriend, I’ve only ever dated very smart women.
因为她是我初恋也是唯一的女朋友，所以我只跟聪明的女孩儿交往过。

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to date someone not-so-smart. I’m not saying I’d like to date a dumb woman.
有时我就在想和不那么聪明的人恋爱会是什么样，我不是说想和笨女人恋爱。

But I wonder what it would be like to date someone who didn’t understand literature or politics or current events.
我只是想知道换成一个不懂文学、不懂政治或时事的人会什么样。

That is, someone I could teach about these things like they didn’t already know about them. I think it would be fun.
她什么都不懂我就可以教她了，我觉着应该会很有趣。

It depends on what you mean by “less educated.”
这要取决于你如何定义“教育程度更低”。

I have an MA. My husband has an associates degree. By that standard, he’s less educated.
我有文学硕士学位，我丈夫是大专学历，按教育程度来看他学历更低。

However, we’ve been married 17 years and the education difference has never been any kind of issue.
然而我们结婚17年了，教育上的差异根本不是问题。

In fact, it’s pretty clear that his degree has been more practically useful.
其实很明显他的学历更有实际用处。

Would I date someone with less intellectual curiosity than me?
我会和求知欲不如我的人恋爱吗？

Probably not, because I think once that was established, we’d find out we had little in common to sustain a relationship beyond a friendship.
可能不会，因为我认为一旦一个人的求知欲固定了，我们就会发现几乎没有什么共同点能维持超越友谊的关系。

It’s not that I’d think less of them.
不是我鄙视他们。

These are just the kind of judgments we make when sorting out what kind of relationships we want with people.
这只是我们在确定和别人保持什么关系时会做出的判断。
