kambo: as a man, theyre som conversations i cant engage in wit wmn cuz most ar just too shallow. It's very embarrassing watchg men, gettg into d thck of a conversation and d woman just keepn silent like chair cushions. Soon they hav 2 xcuse thmselves cuz theyve bcome non participatants. Screw looks, brains is byutifying anyday. Somebody is talkg of condoleeza rice vs kardashan. If diplomats, business men, accomplished folks pay u a visit , d pretty wife knows only about nigerian films, and brazillian hair and stuffs , but the other can make a mor impressive impression that makes d husband gain mor respect from his friends.. . These kind of women ar rare.
There is sense in your comment. How nice it is to get married to woman you share intellects with. You get together the more not only in bed but also in healthy discussions.

Attraction does not necessary stem from Outward appearance, that's the misconception we Nigerians have,many factors contribute to attraction, Character can be one, I don't need to see one's beauty to be attracted. I know how many so called "cute girls" i don't feel attracted to, infact my biggest disappointment was a babe, she knew nothing about the news,her diction was poor and she just wasn't fun to discuss with unless it was Keeping with Kardashians or that gay channel (E News !). Imagine i bring a cute babe over to a family gathering(which are very notorious for political conservations) i wonder what the outcome might be. am not saying she has to be politically aware or extremely brilliant, but at least ; to be able to hold a good conversation and share ideas.
u see that one talk jare dats y i had to fashi one babe like dat

Yes it does. Especially in America.
No it doesn't, not in the United States. It is only in Nigeria, though arguably, that people acquire certificate so as to get jobs. Even in the US people hardly go to universities. With your high school certificate, you can get a good job.

Gbam! I tell people that since my girl possesses all I desire in my dream-wife, she is the most beautiful, even more than the current Miss World.

My dear sister, my candid advice is make a little time for your daily make-up. Being an intelligent and well-educated woman am sure you don't abuse make-up. So find a little time to use it, enhance your already existing beauty and get you that worthy man.
And thereafter, continue the make-up ritual so as to keep him. It's one of those before, during n after thingy women must 4eva do.
Bottomline, DO THE NEEDFUL ... always.

Why do I have this feeling that you tend to wave this banner of "I'm so educated" in everyone's face? I don't think the problem is "how educated you are" or whether you're ugly either, it must certainly be something else that you're not telling. But I digress.

Personally, beauty and brains go hand-in-hand, stupidity puts me off quicker than you can say "Jack". A lady that takes care of herself well, is brilliant and has a good character is already beautiful so beauty has nothing to do with the makeups.

So, my advice to you, be friendly, don't put up some kind of judgemental attitude towards people, a lot of people are educated these days so when you meet someone, your level of education shouldn't be all you have to focus on else you'll look ridiculous, take care of yourself (paying attention to clothes and grooming). Show your brilliance, but not in an annoying manner ... That's pretty much it.

Debra851: I am a woman with a Ph.D. from a top American university. People describe me as friendly but men do not look at me or ask me for dates unless I am wearing makeup. Without makeup I am plain looking. Only when I am dressed up and wearing makeup do men approach me for a date! I am still single because most of the time I look plain. Too bad men don't want a smart woman. So can I say that men prefer beauty to intelligence?

It's simple, You don't dress like a single woman, you know most married women drop that very attracting dress style once they get married, If men don't come close enough, they can't know how intelligent you are. Besides, your Ph.D. sef dey intimidating for some men wey settle dem way thru naija schools. LOL. Intelligence without beauty is only good for long distance relationships. So Madam, you have the solution, buy plenty foundation and all the mac products at least till you sign the dotted lines...

Re: Men, Do You Value Intelligence Or Beauty? by tomber(m): 10:02am On May 04, 2013
Have everythin balanced out btw:
*intelligence, cos no man want a dull wif that that will kill every conversation. Well ; For *Beauty,beautyis in d eye of d beholder. Only do ur part by makin sure you are well kept and dress smart,not shabby, be moderate about ur makeup, beuty is not all about make up. infact, it might put some off. And beauty isnt d only attractn factr
*Character and the fear of God, no man wants a nagging, rude, proud and disrespectful wife. For men that fear God theyl also want a God fearing wife
Note. Your phD cud b a problm. Men dont usually want a wife of a higher status than they.already made women find it difficlt to get husbands dis days. So keep ur phD ego down as much as possible. Also men dont want wife that are far too intelligent than they are. who will counter them all d time and will always b correct.
Men want submissive wivs that are lovable while women want to be loved and secure. anythin that threatns that threatn a relationship as well threatns getting into a serious one like marriage
Re: Men, Do You Value Intelligence Or Beauty? by Nobody: 10:16am On May 04, 2013
pleep: One thing we have to remember here is that...the OP is not really talking about "intelligence" grin She is talking about a PHD. The two are not the same...

A PHD primarily means earning potential... and that is not something men care about when looking for a woman.

Re: Men, Do You Value Intelligence Or Beauty? by josite: 12:17pm On May 04, 2013
beauty attracts most men to a woman and thereafter intelligence takes over and if she is foolish,the man moves on so there is a time for beaty and intelligence in dating.
Re: Men, Do You Value Intelligence Or Beauty? by Nobody: 12:59pm On May 04, 2013
Can we please see a photo of you? So we can see why. I'm a fan of both beauty and intelligence

Intelligence is sexy while beauty is appealing so I'll say a little bit of both is what I value in my girl

i hate 2 sound ds way mammy, bt i gats talk am so all 'em girls can learn: the time u spent pursuing a phd in a "top American University" could have been used 2 focus & work on d relationships u had then, since u feel marriage is actually a thing 4 u. Now u'r advanced in age and highly educated & most men wnt ladies they can control. Beautiful or not, an intellient young lady is a turn on, a woman phd holder reminds me of my female professor lecturers....scarecrows. Sorry if dat sounds harsh. Learn girls.

Paulemi

Well, its too late now for recriminations although you speak the truth.

Getting a phd overseas is relatively easier than getting one in nigeria, thats why you see so many ladies abroad with phd.

People have to start figuring out how to help these ladies get partners, since they cant just throw away their qualifications which they worked hard to get. Besides, sometimes it might have something to do with visa issues, although not always.

In the past, wonen usually got their phds after marriage, now , they get it before marriage. Society hasnt yet quite caught up with this trend.

Our Nigeria female intelligentsia is not helping matters at all.

I bet you if enter any room with Oby Ezekwesili, Dora NAFDAC, Condoleeza Rice and Okonjo Iweala and their likes (except Mrs Odua Aviation) you may mistake them for militant feminists having a brunch.

All that low cut hairstyle.

I think female Ph.D holders take pride in looking as unsexy as one can possibly get.
