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?





If you ve followed this thread carefully&understood wat warrants the ilustration he made, or perhaps if you are a man, or if you ve had to deal with egolistic ladies, I tink you would have understood the guy better instead of writing this epistle just to spite him...One of the tinzz dt makes a man a man is how he manages the opposite sex..And so far he's or he was in the shoes, he's been doin wat exactly he tot is needed to manage the feminine&is been working for him...so U should be the one not to exaggerate. peace
NB>IF you are a lady, u myt stl argue abt my comments, but men has very little or zero tendency to argue abt this simple stuff

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.
I don almost believe u finish until I now say make I take time check u for dp,bt wetin I see there faint me,bro that part you said she saw what you had that humble her cheesy,na man you be

The two things you outline are few among what i so much desire in my woman.. In as much she will be humble.

What a wonderful person she would be. Educated, rich and yet humble. Very rare in Nigeria where showing-off is a national sport.
I hope, you will find such a lady.

Why should a jobless man even get married?

Time & tide my dear.
Time & tide. One policy from someone at the top and the seemingly employed guy is on the street.

Are you not in Nigeria?
Name one sector that boasts of job security today.

If he wasn't jobless when he got married it could still happen afterwards.

As long as she acknowledges and accords me my place and love, I see no reason not to.
As regards being loyal, it's her call but I better not find out.

YES and YES, I can marry a woman with those attributes, we'll build an empire together! wink

You think buying recharge card for OND 2 babe is the same thing as marrying a woman bah?

The issue here is not ego, it's how women can get when power enters their domain.

Nigerian woman borrows you 10k
The next day you give her 30k as normal dash
Third day of she comes to remind you of the 10k you borrowed, don't open mouth or try to understand Jack sh!t just know no be the same wiring una get.

You are not practical!

The level of humility required of a richer and well educated woman is higher would be higher. if you were arguing and you happen to say the wrong thing, her first instinct will be to counter you because instinctively she knows you are wrong and she knows better than you are. You will be embarrassed although it will not be her intention, her knowledge is part of her. You will be asking for to much to ask her to not be who she is and that will definitely hurt you ego. And if she were a richer woman, it is either you consider her money as our money or not. if you consider her money as part of the family's common pocket she will be hurt if she thinks you are a spendthrift or if eventually you break up. She will consider herself used and might be willing to do some damages. However if she contributes as much as you do, How would you feel if she purchased a Cadillac because that is what she wants while you will be driving around with your Toyota Corolla. What man wouldn't feel intimidated if it happened in his home. A woman if she were 'wise or humble'in that situation will have to forgo her wants or wait long enough till she has enough to buy two Cadillacs.

What about her schedule? She is more likely to busier than you and that would mean less presence in the kitchen and the home. Are you willing to take that burden for the sake of her and her home? undecided

Learn to listen

Learn to consider her as human with a brain

Embrace your weaknesses or ask her what she thinks her your weaknesses

Put her feelings in consideration when you act or think

Trust her

Appreciate her

And be selfless

If you must marry her, make sure you dont offend her cos that will be the day she will tell you ur life story i.e. I picked u from the gutters and cleaned u; i cloth u, i feed u, etc An average woman will tell u all the rubbish at the slightest provocation and later say sorry.
