Well, certainly I notice a general discussion-style difference in the majority of college vs. non college educated people. But let's be fair, most of the non-college people I know/knew were also chained to a tiny rural town and had all of the attendant stereotypes and biases attached to that.
But college does not equal intelligent. Or even clever. In fact, in meeting many *very* bright people in my new grad program - at an Ivy League school no less - I am at a loss. They're very nice, and certainly intelligent... but they lack a basic communication ability. They speak, and more noticeably, write with ridiculous grammatical errors. From using the wrong "your/you're" to not understanding common phrases and cliches, such as "she's favoring her right leg" meaning she is protecting the right leg and putting more weight on her left leg... they are woefully poor communicators.
I think the whole world is going that way, though. And I blame the internets.

That being said, I doubt I'd have dated many people without college degrees, simply because it's harder to relate intimately to someone who doesn't have a similar background to your own. I may meet, befriend, and care about people from different worlds, but it's harder to date those people and connect viscerally.
