Same thing, sweetheart - She is more difficult to be manipulated, lied to, fooled or cheated on because she applies her skills, training, technology and savvy to the relationship. Lying and manipulating an educated woman is outright insulting because when you do that you are questioning her intelligence and education. Mutual respect is the key. Respect her! An African adage says "it's respect that makes two dogs to lie down and roll for each other, not that they are afraid of a fight"

"Educated professional man" indeed. As if being a so-called "professional" makes one more enigmatic and worthy of more effort than other men. Interesting thread, but very ridiculous topic.

Op, I no go lie, I gbadu your write-up. You're so spot on. I'm a silent guy and I like being alone. That part of me seems to scare the ladies around me. Speaking of being intellectually ahead of ladies, I put so much effort to equip myself- read books, watch movies, try complex maths, and THINK.

I once dated a very pretty lady. There was a huge gap between us and she didn't feel secure in the relationship. I seemed to know everything she did in the recent past, how she felt at a particular time, when she was lying, her likely actions after a particular incident... For her, she was my prisoner- and I behaved like a Psychologist who was using her to further his experiment, not like her lover. I understood her very well, read her the way I read medical books...Again, for her, it was more or less a psychological warfare, and I was miles ahead. She didn't like it. I pictured that she would not fit into my plans. I'm very ambitious and hardworking, while she's lazy and believes her looks and bottom can get her what she wants. I told her I was going to leave her, and I did. I liked her so much, and as a matter of fact, I still melt when I bump into her and nearly breakdown when she smiles at me; but I can't get back to her. And, that hurts me so much. While we were together, I tried to help her out, by way of encouraging her to read books, teaching her all kinds of stuff and engaging her in intellectual discourse. She didn't really welcome that. I want the world to know that I still love her, and that I'm hurt.

Nothing works in marriage.

Just assume that it is God's way of punishing you for all your sins, and you will be fine.

Not wealth, intelligence, aesthetics, etc. can make a good relationship because both parties will be coming from different backgrounds.

I never liked marriage. I think it is an emotional scam.
Well, unless you intention is to have children. That is the only unifying factor.

...I really dont get some points outlined by the op for the so called 'Educated Professional man'..


...so basically,its only the Educated Professional man that deserves respect and honesty from his partner or what? ..


..Number 6 is even more laughable...so silent treatmen is okay for the non-educated,non-professional man?...I am yet to wrap my head around that

Spaxon:
hmmmmm
so u expect me to say NICE WRITE UP

Joavid:



I can't imagine dating someone who doesn't like reading books at all.

Why don't you ask her about books, or what books she finds interesting?

She said 'I dnt like readin books'..
In her words, 'all this borin things u r readin sef,wat do u even use dem for'.

Woged2005:

5. Don’t demand honesty rather demand respect. Honesty ends a relationship, it’s respect that keeps it going. There is no honest man in a relationship.

Tallesty1:

Leo, I don't see this our relationship going anywhere because I can't date a guy that knows my every move. Someone that i can't deceive or lie to.

It is pathetic how some of them reason.

Joavid:


What do you have in common? I mean, something must have attracted you to her.


You are agnostic, avid reader, tech/science guy and you seem like a very quiet person.

When you prefer to watch NatGeo or discovery channel, she wants to watch E! Or fashion TV.
When you want to watch a sci-fi movie, she wants a comedy.

You can't have the type of conversation you would like to have with her cos you fear she would doze off.

I guessing she must be a wonderful cook, no?


Sorry, if it seems am psychoanalysing your relationship but....
