Physically attracted, Mentally turned off

So here I am, thinking that possibly this guy may have some potential to gain my attraction. Everyday I only see him dirty and scrubbed up-but at least this means it is probably his worst, and is still attractive. Physically I was attracted instantly. Now for me that doesn't mean much unless I can be menatlly attracted also. So watching him week after week I notice he is strong and powerful. He comes across grumpy and cocky. Now usually I hate this, but somehow in this case I am liking it!
So every so often (the last three nights in a row) he comes in to my shack to have a coffee which I prepare for him to be nice! Usually there are a few of us in here and we bullshit around and then he leaves. While this is all going on I am getting to feel him out mentally a little bit. He knows his job very well and you need to be smart to do it! He has this rugged voice that you just want whispered in your ear. He is classified as sexy now. UNTIL.....wait for it.....i found out.....here it comes.....he hasn't even completed his grade 9 education. WHAT???!?!?!?!?!?!?! What the hell? I don't think I have ever been turned off so fast in my life!
At this point I came to the at most realization that I need my man to have an education and I don't know if I could settle for less.
I am a smart girl and I couldn't be with someone who was anything less than I am. I like a man with authority and brains to put it all out there. (not saying this guy doesn't have brains, cuz he does-and he has never once crossed me as dumb) but that is a life decision I don't approve of.
Me, myself, I have a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Business Operations. I would like my guy to have that or more. Not that I wouldn't date someone without it-but no highschool diploma is to low for me without a good excuse.
Never am I saying that I am better than him or than anyone else. I just prefer to have someone on my level with my similarities. This guy is ruled out.
Still physically attracted, I am mentally turned off.
Ouch
