why do ladies often end up marrying guys considered 'below' standard

Rephrase your question. Because no human being should be referred to as below standard.

Emilyone! No vex, oh! But ur question 'yaga-yaga' me, oh!
Try rephrase am like crazykid talk. Promise 2attempt it!

why are you guys finding my question hard to comprehend .

anyway what i means is that

i know of this lady in my hood, who works in a bank and has dated

rich and educated guys in the past and always claiming big girl.

but i was surprised cos she got married to a guy who

did not even pass through a secondary school.

shi ke nan

its love now

Possibly, she may be over-due and desperate 2get married.
Secondly, De power of love may be at work! No blame am, or dey feel say na de last thin wey u go do, cos u fit end up wit one jobless illiterate wey dey ganja. Love 2mush oh!

the rich ones have used her for experiment and can't marry an experiment, that guy that married her only married her for her reputation and money. the marriage will not last. @omolola you are one hell of a crazy babe.

becasue one mans meat is another mans poison

That my dear is just the way love goes.

so love can be blind isn't it ?

emilyone:

so love can be blind isn't it ?

Yes love can be blind.

sistawoman:

Yes love can be blind.

nah i don't think love is blind. i think it can see, it just chooses to look beyond the imperfections to see the perfect one on the inside.

@ poster, well that's what she wants or rather she realized its not about the books or money, difft folks difft strokes

but am just curious, is it normal ?

I would never marry down and I would never encourage my girls to marry down.

If you got it like that I would not have a problem dating down but not marrying down.

@ siswoman

when you know u wont marry down, why dating down then.

what u cant eat don't bother perceiving the aroma.

it could be poisonous you know .

dating down is just for fun. Marrying down IMO is stupid.

I LIKE THAT

She only used reality of life to solve her problem. "If the desirable is not available, then the available becomes the desirable".Q.E.D

What's wrong with the illiterate guy? is he not a man? or because he didn't go to school, he cannot marry a wife of his taste, abi? okay, what do you say to those very educated men that marry village girls who hardly know their left from their right. at least i know a guy who is a manager in an oil coy who married an illiterate woman, and a lot of others. what really matters in marriage is love and understanding, i believe she must have seen something in this man that she didn't see in others, or may be those ones she dated had left her to marry the 'below standards' according to the poster.

@ Kritikul

am not saying there is something wrong with the guy because he did not go to school,
but what am saying is that its very uncommon to find an educated lady most especially getting married to the opposite.

though i've seen educated guys marrying illiterate which is very common.
