Not sure how this fits in with Sara Mead's thesis, but the New York Times points out what it really means to be a boy without a good education these days: chicks simply don't dig guys who don't finish college.

Devil's advocate: In order to convince my wife to marry me, I first had to ditch my voluminous baseball hat collection from occupying precious space on the coat rack in my living room. Sigh. Once I did that, however, it was like I turned into freaking Barry White or something. So (see picture below from the Times story) maybe the "hat rack" is the mitigating factor here, not the chap's lack of a degree? Someone should check those stats. Could be a really, really long feature story in there somewhere.
