Intellectually below, NO.  Other things are not so relevant to me

What is intellectually below in your own words?. Assuming you have a masters degree and he has an OND and is doing pretty well in his career; he is not an illiterate but you have a higher degree than him. So, if all things being equal, are you going to reject him because he is yet to obtain a masters degree?.

Lets hope all the girls yapping about 'status' inherited/attained such 'status' by virtue of their privileged family backgrounds or extra-ordinary brilliance. Not the majority of female graduates in Nigeria who got their jobs in exchange for forrking & sucking one 'chief', exec, or HR boss or the other (and continue forrking/sucking their bosses to keep their uncertain jobs). . .now they'll open their mouths to brag about being 'self-made' or having some punanie-induced 'status'. Tell me something I don't know jare.

There are many Nigerian guys who rose to the top by sleeping with madam. So, what's the difference?.

The irony of life anywhere is that what u call STATUS is a mere shambles to another person.
what you pride in as wealth is just a peanut/change to someone else,
and your so called royal family background/status is like a common man in another land.

So, STATUS is just another subtle way of describing ego, pride, and self in a person.
and if you disagree, then tell us: WHAT IS YOUR STATUS?

Women are funny creature.

They want to marry a men taller than them.

They want to marry a man higher than them.

They want to marry a man with status above their own.

Yet, they do not want the man to control them.

Yet, they want equity in the relationship. How ironic.

They forget that STATUS it-self is not permanent. Only change is permanent .

I have seen MOLUE BUS CONDUCTOR become a B.SC holder, and he is currently BRANCH MANAGER with a BANK.

It is not everyday that you see an ex-agbero turn into a bank manager. Women have their reasons for seeking a CEO husband. If you must put up with the crap known as men, you can as well put up with a very successful one.

I want a female baller like myself who has a good head on her shoulders,knows how to handle business, not some market chick gold-digger grin grin grin grin

If you choose to date someone much lower, understand this you will have children who due to her or his inferior DNA will become dregs of the soceity, you have been fore-warned.
Re: Would You Marry Someone Below Your Status?: Vote by ShyOne(f): 1:49am On Dec 14, 2010
I don't know.

Status - in terms of money and position - I COULD CARE LESS - because we WILL MAKE THAT TOGETHER

Status - in terms of being intelligent, witty, - IS A MUST

I cannot date an uneducated man

I just can't - He has to be educated - because he has to be able to keep up with me or life just won't be worth living for me with him.

I can't do ignorant, can't write, can't read well, can't hold conversations on many different topics, no experience.  Ooooh noooo.

All Brawn and no brain = DEATH

I have never been into the all muscles and no mind.  Or the fat wallet and big stomach looking men.  Your wallet or your huge stomach - does nothing to stimulate my va-j-j or my mind.  Sorry - my wallet is probably larger.

If you can't make me laugh or make me think or stimulate me mentally - ours is a lost cause - 1 + 1 won't equal 2.

A 40 yr old woman can do the same. Do not confuse the fact that women loves to respect their age unlike men with lack of demand.

Only in Nigeria this is why they are still the world most corrupt people.  you want all these things, well best of luck. guys be proud of who you are. i remembered when i was still in nigeria working and studing , all the girls go for the guys wth cars but never cared how it came about,  today i thank God i ve all that i need a daughter a house good job that pays high, yet i dont feel different am still who i am back then. come to think of it only girls from poor backgroung seek all these things. here in europe you hardly know who is rich or not cos you are not feeding anyone and even if once he or she is eighteen go to hell they will tell you. Easy my people you go nowhere with all these things. High status is good but should be built sincerely then humility you should embrace, I love Nigeria and i miss her cos where a child is born is very important in the child's life.

Its ok for men to marry down. Its not ok for women. I mean seriously, collecting money from a woman is not manly. Only gays and users collect money from wifey. Be a man, make your own money.

Yes if he is willing to upgrade, no if he is not
Re: Would You Marry Someone Below Your Status?: Vote by slymm(f): 1:18pm On Dec 14, 2010
it is bette people stop with all this if i love him or her crap, Leave love out of it. We are all aware that marriage is a failed institution, we are only hanging unto it by a thread. Men just marry for the sake of it, and women marry because the big 30 is fast catching up. If you ask more than half the women gettin married today, they are only doing it because time is running out, so they have to marry the man they are feeding, or the struggling worker, a man they never imagined they will marry. All these women here saying they want intellectualls or men who can make them laugh, are just talking. When 35 yrs shows up, they will not care. It is a well known fact that standards drop as one gets older. It is supposed to be the other way round, but not so in this society where marriage is the be all and end all of a young womans existence. Sad!
Re: Would You Marry Someone Below Your Status?: Vote by alagha: 1:27pm On Dec 14, 2010
the willingness to upgrade will depend on the level of relationship been established before or after marriage otherwise it could turn out to be a deceive!

Lol trust nigerians and their 'titles'.  No i'm not talking about higher degree.  Afterall going by NL, being an undergraduate is almost like being stuck in secondary school or worse, just graduating primary school. I know people who only graduated primary school but were taught by a good samaritan thus ended up being literate, with good jobs, and well spoken but they never went back to school and they didn't need to. So all things being equal, i don't need him to have some degree. . .it's important how he reasons, how well his mind circulates (coz that tunnel vision thing does not work for me), ability to pick up stuff, and i cannot stress common sense enough.
