Many men would've loved to marry their high school or college sweethearts with similar education if they had the means while they were dating or after graduation, so is this just a figment of your imagination?

Lari03r:
Be specific about the category of men you are talking about.

An educated man can not enjoy companionship with an uneducated woman. The thread binding them will only be intercourse and mundane matters, they can never connect on an intellectual level. And this means the man will definitely prefer a different woman as time goes by.

You are probably referring to semi-literate men who learned a skill after secondary school. While all men are men, there are differences in orientation, quality and outlook.

I personally love intelligent women especially female lawyers. Men who are afraid of a woman's education belong to the last century.

1Sharon:


This topic is about men that feel women who are less educated make better spouses

Don't pretend you haven't heard men say this

kkins25:
hehehehe.. i laugh in jamaican.. I wonder why some established men have sacrificed their reputation and life over non educated house maids and sidechicks. beats me. I remember one certain nollywood movie where d man only preferred village women. can't recall the name of the lead act.

ednut1:
This is called hasty generalization. Men are marrying successful and highly educated women. The ones being avoided are the disrespectful ones who talk to men anyhow. The men are raising their daughters to compete and be successful but no rude and arrogant like we have for some successful women

Lari03r:
You are factually incorrect when you mention side chicks. Side chicks could be educated.

I agree with the fact that some men prefer maids but that is purely on a sexual level. Those men have conditioned their minds to accept the barest minimum because they want to knack.

All men do not act the same.

That's funny because alot of successful BLACK women are single.
Look at the Nigerian women in entertainment, in music and film.

Compete with who? A man?

socialmediaman:


I think you're imagining too much or maybe referring to a much older generation of men. I don't think most PhD or Master's or Bachelor's level educated men would think that way. They may prefer younger women but not lowly (poorly) educated.

ImaIma1:


Exactly! When I look around my environment and beyond, i don't see educated men married to illiterate women. I don't think that is a thing at all.

An educated man wants to marry an equally educated woman. Maybe the op is talking of the category of men who prefer to go to the village to find a wife they can tame.

1Sharon:


Less educated and illiteracy are not interchangable.

ImaIma1:


Less educated or illiterate, most educated men prefer equally educated ladies; someone that can match them intellectually.

The types that go out of their way to marry less educated or illiterate women are a different topic altogether

LagosInter:
A man has no issue with his woman being educated. He only has issues with the behaviour usually found in such women- arrogance, pride, disloyalty, disrespect etc.

If a man is sure of your loyalty and support, he would be happy and would marry you even if you are the president of Nigeria.

MAYBE THEY'RE SINGLE BECAUSE MOST SUCCESSFUL WOMEN WOULD RATHER GO FOR MORE SUCCESSFUL MEN, AND WE KNOW THE NUMBER OF MEN UP IN THAT ZONE IS LIMITED COMPARED TO AVERAGE AND POOR MEN.

A RICH MAN CAN FALL IN LOVE WITH A STRUGGLING GRADUATE OR FRUIT HAWKER. A RICH WOMAN WILL ONLY SETTLE FOR RICH DUDES. THE SMARTER SHE IS THE SMARTER A PARTNER SHE'LL SEEK FOR. THE MORE EXPOSED SHE IS THE MORE SHE'LL BE LOOKING TO SETTLE FOR A MORE EXPOSED MAN. LET'S NOT PRETEND TODAY THAT HYPERGAMY DOESN'T EXIST.

1Sharon:


The OP said nothing about UNEDUCATED women. I said women with LESS education. Meaning a secondary education at most.

1Sharon:
Now these type of men are encouraging and moulding their own daughters to be the kind of women they would have never picked for a spouse.

So is this hypocrisy or nature?
For men like this, if women that are highly educated are a turn-off and have already priced themselves out of the market:

Why do you encourage your own daughters to be exactly like them?

Kobojunkie:
What are in the world are you trying to do?

You want them imbe-cile to then declare that in order to "fulfill all righteousness" there daughters should also not be educated as their wives/sex slaves aren't?

Gerrard59:


According to?

1Sharon:


Don't gaslight me abeg. On this very forum, men have repeatedly stated women who are highly educated and thus very successful are a turn off because they won't submit and allow them to dominate.

Nigerian men have an issue with a woman that even owns a car for Christ sake!
