I am 24F from US. I am about to share something that a lot of people might either agree or disagree with, but men who thinks they are better than everyone just because they have a certain degree or about to get a very high paying job/has a high paying job are a huge turn off.

First Experience: There was a brown guy who came to US with student visa. He told me something about how he did so well in his exams that America handpicked him and gave him a green card, because he had the highest scores in some exam. He just focused on the fact that I was good looking to him, and didn’t want to know anything else about me. Later when I told him I am in the education career field, he was like, “wow you got your masters?” and then just changed the topic back to him. He mentioned like 72 times that he is getting a phd now, and he did everything by him self and how no one helped him. He started sharing his research projects with me which I didn’t even ask for. On his instagram stories, he is always posting about Phd this Phd that. I understand it feels good when you are successful, but once it turns to bragging, it’s annoying. He gave the vibes that just because he has these qualification, he can get any “pretty” girl. He even asked if I will move to another state with him where he is getting his phD, Like yea I am gonna throw my whole life away for your bullshit. He then said he really likes me (only based on my looks) and wants to go ahead and asked me what I like about him, I said nothing. Shit probably really hurt his ego, which wasn’t my intention cuz I was being honest. but yea we stopped talking after.

2) This is a very short experience, but a guy, probably in his last year of medical school sent me a like, he was from the same country as me so I was like why not. His profile was filled with how much he spent on med school and all med school experience. I kind of got the bad feeling but thought maybe he will sound different if I talk to him. When we matched, he didn’t even start with a hello. Straight up asked me what I do, I said I am a former teacher looking for a career transition. I am currently a trainer at an organization. Then he just unmatched

Since I am a education major, there’s a very low chance that I will get a 6 figures job, but I am still happy with what I earn. I understand that earning a lot can also be seen as a necessity, but your education and money is useless if you have a low mentality to think that you are better than everyone due to your degree, not because how you are as a person

EDIT: A lot of people are assuming I am attempting to bring brown men down, which is not my intention. Everytime I post here, I mention as much as possible about the person so that people get a good understanding of it. I have posted about non-brown men too. The only reason I mentioned the first guy was brown was because I wanted people to understand he came from a different county as an international student, and kept bragging about him getting a green card by himself without anyone’s help. Based on how some people started feeling attacked , I now know to just say international students next time. The second guy was also brown but I didn’t feel the need to mention that, which also kinda proves that if I really wanted to bring brown men down, I would have made it very evident that both are brown, and added more BS about how they must be like that because of their culture and all. But that’s not the case, I am a brown girl myself and I have met great brown men in my life and my guy bestfriend is brown too, who is a wonderful guy who raised my standards very high. He is very successful but very humble at the same time. I just posted this because it was becoming a pattern regarding men, and it just happens to be that my experiences regarding this issue was with brown men. I am pretty sure other people had a similar experience as me where the man wasn’t brown. There’s clearly some men who got triggered in the comments because they think I am on a mission to make people believe only this two guys represent the whole south asian culture
