Ok, i had an argument with a lady. She would not marry a guy who is not degree educated even if he is mature, doing well and has a good business and income.

What do you think? Is education such a big deal in marriage?

It's money and f*ck that matters to them na..

It depends

Time to Go on masturbation spree

If a woman wants an educated Man, that's fine and cool.

That's preference.

In 5 mins time can any Man state his preference with out 200 idiots coming out to insult all Men.

That's very bitter and immature.

No

Preferences differ, same way some men won't marry uneducated women.

Most graduates, male or female wish to and will eventually marry a graduate.

If you want to marry a graduate, try to be a graduate first. It's really important.


This is coming from, you know, a graduate.


No hard feelings. It's just how it is.

What about we look at the big picture, we ask ourselves, why did we go to school to get a degree. Some will agree with me that the purpose is to build a successful life.

Now, for this guy is smart enough to build and run a successful business.

I wouldn't call him an illiterate because he would have to he financially literate to succeed at a business.

I have also seen a lot of degree educated folks a who are functional illiterates.

Guys. ladies. What do you think.

I agree with you. Plus, education in Nigeria seems to be grossly overrated.

I don’t even call them illiterate, I prefer "not graduates" or non-graduates.

We often think the reason for going to school is to learn to read and write but there is more even if some don't agree, school especially higher institutions exposes us to a lot an average non graduate might never get to experience.


It explains why most graduates are more coordinated compared to most non-graduates. I'm not just saying it because I'm a graduate, it's what I have experienced.

Successful life and successful business isn't exactly the same thing and I believe we go to school to gain knowledge and exposure.


I said most graduates and not all graduates, there are a lot of graduates that will still marry non graduates whether rich or poor.


Of course, there are some graduates that behaves like illiterates and vice versa.

Bros, let me ask you this honest question and I want you to answer sincerely ;


If you are to choose between two good ladies, these two ladies are wonderful in character, they have a good job, good life, beautiful, humble but one is a graduate and the other isn't, whom would you marry?

Honestly, it will depend on the connection i have with each of them.

Naturally, i would want to go with the one with education but occasionally, you come accross individuals are exceptional even without a formal education.

I think it will be a case by case basis consideration.

Considering the Nigerian level of reasoning, I wouldn't recommend any woman attempt it.

You've answered correctly!

From experience though, most graduates always feel superior to non-graduates and most non-graduates feel inferior to graduates. It validates that knowledge is power.

I for one could marry a non-graduate, provided she's ready to go back to school.

I have seen o, although not so frequent sha. Even in midst of stark illiterates, there are still non-graduates that stand out.

Karleb:

Stand out in what sense?

And by non-graduates, do you mean college dropouts or ged-holders?

It depends on one's preference though,at a time I thought it didn't matter until an experience changed my mind.The one I dated briefly,very brief(my first relationship) had a formal education but not up to a degree level and wanted to go back to school when the time was right.


I then realised that I am a sapiosexual person and I know that intelligence mustn't be book related but then sometimes education helps us to have exposure,he didn't have that and I found out that when it came to intellectual discussions on any particular field it was zero input from him.Maybe if he had put in effort to at least learn a few things on the internet it wouldn't have been a big deal because I learn everyday and some of the things I know I didn't know it because of my degree but he wasn't like that.

Then I realised that I can't date not to even talk of marrying a man without a degree,I ain't stopping at one degree minimum of two is my ambition and I could even go further if my priorities and plans would let me I prefer a man who is in that place with me(in terms of education)
No formal education at all is a NO NO.

So for my preference it matters,it doesn't matter to some people and they are just going on fine,but I love anything book related and someone who is a polymath/philomath in STEM related fields it intrigues me and such a man has to have a degree to be knowledgeable in that aspect so no I can't marry a man without a formal education because such a man would not meet my area of interest and what I call fancy because it is one area I love discussing about and sharing ideas.

I like nerds(not in the derogatory sense) don't blame me

Welll, it depends. If he is uneducated and pocket loaded, i can manage otherwise nooo i beg. You can be uneducated and unfortunate at the same time. Two wrongs don't make a right. Let one deal with one at a time biko

No

faithfull18:
No

ROFLMAO

I never wanted a degree educated man anyway, I have always wanted to be more educated than my husband I don't know why....

Hmmmmm....education is very important my brother. Whether its formal or informal o, it is extremely important that one partners with another who is able to understand and communicate with one. They said formal education only contributes to about 10% of our learning, so even if the dude no get degree, he must get an ample portion of the other 90% plus a sizeable part of this 10%. Essentially, we must both be bright.

By the way, most of the great men we know today did not even finish school, they were too bright to sit it out. And you see a lot of people with the certificate and wonder who issued them .

It's her choice why argue with her?

Meanwhile I support her because most men in the uneducated category have serious case of insecurity and trust issues when dealing with their educated wives.

Guys. ladies. What do you think.

Success is not just about the amount of money in your bank account.

Being educated especially tertiary education goes beyond just learning how to read & express yourself. It opens up your mind, makes you exposed and builds your character. That's why University degree certificates say you've been found worthy in "character and learning". No amount of money or maturity gives you these attributes.

Marriage is a very complex union that the couple must be vibing at very intricate levels, which might be a problem if they're not matched educationally.

I noticed some ladies fall into the category you are. They prefer a man that gets fascinated over a little thing unlike an educated man that you will really do more to impress.

My wife can hardly intrigue me with academics or news because I am more updated than most girls I meet.

I don't know where to classify your type of girl but it seems to be coming from the angle of having something that you are better than your husband for.
