Why wont I marry her?

Academic qualifications(Degrees) has never been a marital threat...cos even a wife that is a stark illiterate can intimidate a man without self worth.

Why not if we are compatible??

Can you link me up ayam looking for second wife.

I know a lady who has a PHD. She is young, intelligent, good looking, single and has a good job.

all her certificate will end in my kitchen.take buhari n Aisha for example

Yes. Foremost, success of any type and in any sphere of life never automatically makes anyone (woman or man) arrogant/insane/inhumane. So, a psychologically and morally healthy woman can't become a termagant and expedient as a result of her academic success - just as she can be subjugable despite reaching the zenith of academic success. And possession of a PhD - knowing much about a particular course of study - doesn't automatically make anyone "too educated" generally. There's nothing wrong with being too educated by the way.

A woman (or man) can be brilliant and possesses a PhD in a course of study without being neither intelligent nor strong-minded nor strifeful.

If this lady in particular is strong-minded and intelligent, however, she'll not be subjugable - so, a man who has penchant for subjugation shouldn't near her. Of course, if she's intelligent and strifeful/expedient (egoistic and egotistic), she'll be a hell on earth. In the end, it's her ethical leanings that matter the most.

Low self-esteemed men, steer clear of established, achieving women. Last I checked, village mgbekes are still very much available. If you're threatened by a PhD holder, go for an NCE or OND holder. Who are you to decide what level of education a lady should attain?

If you don't have Ph.D yourself, don't try it. Every tactic is fair in war; she will likely insult you during a fight, bragging about her achievement. After the fight, you won't be able to forget the insult even after her apology.

Poverty of the mind. The worst of it all

Lol, Ph.D? It's not that serious.
There is absolutely no problem being married to a woman with one.

As a matter of fact, I have a certain attraction and appreciation for women who make it a goal to get a Ph.D - there is something admirable about their general grasp of things and desire to improve.

As a man, you only need to be able to hold your own and be confident in your abilities. Having a Ph.D in a specific area of specialization does not mean you can't teach her things in other areas - it becomes easier even, because such a woman will learn, adapt, and improve much faster than most.

Remember though, having an advanced degree does NOT make a bítch - a bítch is a bítch regardless.
As a general rule of thumb, the code is DON'T marry a bítch...whether she is a market woman, bachelor's degree holder, or Ph.D holder.

What's the worst that could happen?

I'd gladly marry one if the need arises..

Look at the question someone is asking at the end of the 2010s decade.

I always wonder if people don't want intelligent or at least academically-sound children in this present age.

yes and no, depending on her character

As if phd is a terminal illness. Why should she repel suitors?

I am not saying that a woman should not get a PHD, it is a requirement if she wants to lecture in the university.

I guess this is a complicated question because it involves a lot of things.

I know of a couple who are friends of my family. The man is a business man, while the wife is a Medical Doctor. They are in their late 50's and have three children. Currently they are separated because the wife said he cannot meet up with her financial needs.

She built a house in Lagos without informing the husband, while her husband was building a house in Ogun state. To a man that is an insult and the trust between them have been broken. She even told him to live with her in the house she built.

They are some men with terrible pride and ego. If they get married to a woman with similar traits, and no one is ready to compromise for love, separation or divorce is inevitable.

Phd or not, this couple you mentioned are not in tune with each other. It could still happen if she isn't that educated. It's an attitude thing.

... l used to stay away from female Lawyers. Since I don't like unnecessary argument in my life. I know I was generalizing back then but I did not have enough energy for section 98 subsection 784. ..

Sad really, that a question like this can be asked in this 21st century, and they say mothers of old did a good job training children, it seems the training was reserved for ladies and few sane men.

Which kain question be this?You have inferiority complex?
PhD has nothing to do with ego,even pepper sellers have it.
Why would you be intimidated by an achieving woman?

Doesn't matter.
