Op, more educated or richer to me is immaterial as long as she has a good character. .... Some business men that didn't go to school marry educated working class ladies who help out when business is in crisis and they're living happily. ...

You may even become richer and more educated tomorrow. ..so??

Anyway, it depends on what each individual looks out for in a partner. ....

Those who are wealthy are seen as wise men bro... not the number of books you read.

The trend has changed.

SonOfEl:


see eh, most of my female friends are career women and rich business women. the are the ones craving to have marital homes. that is not to say, you don't find a few humble ones among them. I already have my boo who is intelligent and well-to-do, but dear, she doesn't intimidate me. she saw what I had that humbled her, and it was neither money nor intelligent.

I think cholerics go best with phlegmatics regardless of the gender involved.

I had a rich and intelligent female HOD when I was the course rep of my department back in the university days. we were close, and she give me some nuggets of wisdom that till today, works for me. I had a female boss where I once worked, believe me. she wasn't much older than me, but my popularity amongst the staff made her want 'prove her superiority' na she tire eventually. we are friends and confidants today. I once dated a medical student, I studied food science and nutrition, but being who she is, she gives remarks or make statements to supersede mine because she believes as students we both were, she was more 'placed' than I was. wisdom prevailed. I used wisdom to conquer her.

do you know that a wise woman will never try directly or indirectly to intimidate her husband even. if he 'feels' intimidated. in her wisdom, she has a way of making him feel on top. its only insecure men that feels threatened by rich and successful women.

SmartMugu:
Educated than me no, richer than me, may be.
I once dated a girl that was quick to brag about her PhD after any of our conversations, most of them unrelated to education. I don't know that if was supposed to thrill me or make people think she's smart or something.

It got so annoying that she mentions that almost everywhere we went and to everyone we knew together. A friend actually asked if she was ok cos her PhD talk didn't fit in the conversation we were in the middle of.

We finally broke up. I guess our conversations just got too boring for me and I had to bounce..
She's still single and was still quick to bring up that PhD talk again when we last chatted on the phone.

I don't think every woman with a PhD is like that, hers was just too extreme for me.

butanep:


What you are saying is stories and riddles. You date a rich girl, you had one as friend or boss, do this or that...

Marry her, then you will know her true color. Men are not intimidated to marry such women but some can't just stand being control by a woman. Take it or leave it, money begat pride. So if your woman is highly richer that you, one day she will begin to demonstrate it to you not because she is a woman but a human. It's our nature.

If you are not in control, you become a remote control.

Do you know why most of them hardly get husband to marry?

SonOfEl:


hmm.....I get your point sir, but such definition of wisdom is inferior, we all know that. WISDOM IN A BLEND OF COGNITIVE AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, I.e IQ and EQ...( + the God factor of course)

educated than me YES! Richer than me NO

So u think her education is not an edge for her ?

Why should a jobless man even get married?

How can a woman with PhD go out with a guy like you? No wonder she won't stop taking about her PhD.

‘She has seen you finished'

Haywhymido:
If dat happen during ur marriage go on with it but if u choose to marry a woman more educated or more richer dan u. U will surely, regret it. N will be forced to do things u didnt plan for. 1) it either u become a drunkard or womaniser or both 2) u will be forced into finding another woman of ur lvl since u sabi how to find ready made b4. 3)u will be focused in to divorcing her after she had given birth to d number of children she want 4) ur children will never respect u for who u r, most esp. the female ones 5)for ur life nt to end miserable, u av to be a fighter and coupled with God fixing his extra focus on u for the rest of ur life. The odds r high bro. I witnessed dis 1st hand it happened to my frd's father. Av u ever, asked urself why a lady wld repay sumone she love n was kind enuf to further her education to the higher institution, after she had secure a job with statements like i cant marry u, let me repay ur money, i will even double it. This is sumone she used to love. What went wrong? How many percentage of ladies dat were in dis same situation av u heard dat they go ahead with their wedding plan

Gaborone:


SonofEl, your last post was a good read.

But then, I'm worried by your use of words: "put her in her place.. ", " humbled her"... what's all that about? And it raises a welter of questions.

Are you sure that's not the 'breaking' I was talking about earlier? Why can't a man meet a rich intelligent woman, and just flow with her, and not make any attempts to make her feel like her wealth and intelligence is something she should be apologizing for? Why cant he just hear the opposing view of his medical student of a girlfriend, without interpreting it to mean she is trying to supersede him because he read food and nutrition? W hy cant he just enjoy an intelligent discuss with her, without interpreting it to mean she is 'showing herself'. Why can't her just befriend and love her, give her a chance to let him know who she really is, before judging her as proud and insubordinate?

Why does he have to 'humble' her? What does that even mean?

Oh oh oh. Same way wealthy and very educated men find it hard to settle down. How would you know? You are not fit to mingle in their circle. FYI, They marry their counterparts. Men who are of their class. The ones in their social circle.

You this girl again today? Are you stalking me?

Thank you rich women marry everyday to man within their class I don't think many women want to marry below their level sef, they know most men can't handle it

oreos:


You are the pathetic one

You are the hypocrite

You are the selfcentered one


Yeah, let's assume that an average wealthy woman would misbehave as if poor women don't. Let's assume that they will misbehave because with money they can't think like human. Let's force our pathetic projections on wealthy women.

butanep:


We are saying the samething. Put you brain to work. They marry their counterpart that can control them and are richer also.

That is the way it goes... Women crave for men that can control them both financially, emotionally and otherwise...

oreos:


My friend, that is the bitter truth.

Hmmmn...shey you know that a woman with PHD will be as interested in Syria's wahala as you would be. So who go take care of the spoons and knives?
