Do you believe that having like minds is a prerequisite to compatibility?

Not so much the same educational level but the same conversational skills and same thought process. I want someone I can converse with intelligently. We may not always agree but at least we can thresh out our differences without so much as arguing.

I dont know about being attracted to some one, I think attraction goes more based on looks an attitude.
But as far as a relationship goes, yes. If you are not on or around the same level of Intelligents its kinda hard to have a good conversation or work together.
Maybe this isnt what you are looking for, If you mean actual formal education then I say no, no, no! Commen sense goes a long way!

Not really. Though as I said in your other question on Social Status, where you are or who you meet more or less determines who you would be attracted to (with regard to the actual person), however looks play a major role more than educational level.
though there are folks who consider education as a major portion of their decision to choose who to date.
it is a plus factor wherein you can talk to the other person, and since you have things in common like education and education level then you can probably talk about the same subject matter better. though it is not a hard fast rule, since you would also be talking about common stuff, which would not need an MBA or PHD.
and even though you have the same educational level, another person might not really want to talk, to you, about the topic you want, and so on....

Yes, Several For one thing thing, they grew up here in the US so they are familiar with the culture. They understand what NOT to do as well as what TO do. They are all fairly athletic, slender. They are polite, friendly and I think most of all - willing to take risks. They flirt with women they find attractive. Some are dark, some are lighter - so, that's not the deciding factor. To quote Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother - They're willing to strike out. Sometimes they do - often enough they don't. No, they don't date mostly ethnic girls or only fat white women. They do date a variety of ethnicities and appearances. So far I know of several who have ended up with slender white women. Although, I am black - NO, they generally DO NOT date blacks.

Please don't confuse intelligence with education. I know of many people with a higher education that couldn't solve the simplest problem requiring common sense! Having said that, I find myself attracted to appearance first, but I require a person I can converse with before I consider her for a girlfriend!

Yes. I even have this weird thought that it is easier for me to connect with people who are my fellow "iskos" and "iskas."
Great minds think alike, so they say. And no matter how much I try to connect to all, I just can't. I thrive on interesting conversations and intellectually stimulating discussions and once one cannot share those with me, I just remain politely civil but never will I consider the person as a companion.

I think this is true to a certain extent...I know I am very attracted to intelligent guys, but that doesn't mean they have to have a college degree...someone that is smart enough to carry on a decent & interesting conversation & also have a quick wit....someone who can make me laugh without too much trouble

No, I barely graduated HS and have a few college courses...my husband has a double major as well as a BS & MS. We're perfectly happy. He married a woman with two MS degrees and they fought terribly.

not always... but yeah... sometimes, I'm more attracted to someone that has a higher educational level than I do... it's just that, sometimes, I'm looking for a 'big sister' figure, just through looking at her educational level... somewhat odd, but true...

Nope, I don't believe such things like that. I only got attracted to a guy because of its attitude/ characteristics but not because of its educational attainment. <*-*>
