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.

agarawu23:
educated than me YES!
Richer than me NO

My point exactly. Otherwise she go just wake up one morning and decide to throw me out of d bedroom window

oreos:


It is simple!

They are hypocrites.

I tell you, it's just a situation that I can't understand. Same people open threads about 'hungry' girls. Same people mock girls who can't take themselves out, and call the Kim kadarshian loving ladies bimbos.
Same people burst their veins when they see the rich getting married to the rich. Yet, the same set of people use blanket vituperative terms on intellectually sound ladies who have got something going in their lives.

I feel sorry any woman who marries such men. She will be made to lick the dust to remind him of his headship.

Midehi:
its only true love that can answer that

You better clear your eyes and face the reality.

Money begat pride. No matter what, the woman will want the man to be subjective.


I can't shall... it is better we are of same level.

dukeolumde:


Exactly my point. Otherwise one day she will throw me out of d bedroom window

no be lie o

true love dont count those tins

Midehi:

Sad enuf, Love don't exist.

SonOfEl:


but the fact is that I cannot guarantee that she would NEVER use her position or wealth to try and intimidate you at some point. women would always be women, but how you react to it is what matters most.

All human beings are essentially the same either male or female. Man also use their position or wealth to intimidate their wives at times so it won't be because she's a woman but because she's human.

Really?? I think I'll pass

kstadaura:


sir why you cannot accept richer?

It's simple. Two drivers can't drive one bus. One must be a driver and the other a conductor.

That's the logic.

SonOfEl:


a man has his place, so does a woman. its no big deal. I know exactly what i meant by my ex trying then to intimidate me. her gestures, remarks, and attitude said it all. assuming she was right in her argument, she was not meant to be rude about it. for instance, in food quality control, she would want to downplay my submissions by reminding me that she is a medical student, meanwhile food quality control in food science is my thing.....I just laughed it off and insist. my insistence was what made her feel insulted or challenged, afterall, we are talking about the general wellbeing of human nutritional heath right? truth is, due to this time and era whereby women received deserved emancipation their mums or grandmums never dreamt of, it is not difficult to see a career or wealthy woman trying to rub it off on any man they encounter. the main issue is, why her husband? women today are increasingly becoming guilty of what men were once exclusively accused of.

a phlegmatic woman will not argue much with her husband and may give her husband idea a benefit of doubt even if she still thinks she is correct. a melancholic woman will insist on her ideas with decorum and respect while still giving a benefit of doubt to that of her husband. a sanguine woman will turn the argument into fun and come to a compromise with her husband. a choleric woman will by hook or crook, want to intimidate her husband with all the advantages she has whether her points are right or wrong, it doesn't mean she does not love him, but the word 'humility' or 'submission' is a taboo to her, that's why they don't really succeed in keeping theirs homes unless of course, they have an extremely phlegmatic husband.

You just nailed it! Nice.

kstadaura:
Can you marry a lady that is more educated,richer than you?. or she is working and you are unemployed?

Is she going to be loyal in the long run?

I can even marry a older lady than me provided she understand her duties as a wife not as an educated, rich or employed woman ...

kevinberry:


There is nothing gold digging here,naturally here in nigeria,an[b] average lady is seen as one that will likely insults a man if he is not up to her level..[/b]n..so don't blame anybody here....as you can see,most are saying no....ime for example would not tolerate a woman who goes clubbing,keep late nights or abandon her duties as a wife simply because she is wealthy,I won't for the sake of her wealth condone such......a successful man wouldn't spit the word,“we are not mates to a fellow lady”simply because she want to be your friend,we welcome them gladly and make them feel happy......

And an average men cannot tolerate a woman who is above his level. It is still the same shit. No difference.

Pathetic,I point out the reason and you could not even defend them...

Pathetic

richer than me. NO.

SonOfEl:
yes I can, both don't expect her not to use it against you at some point, because that's a woman for you. mind you what makes you a man is much deeper than more money and a bigger career. you wise judgements in crucial issues makes her trust you and obey you, because she will respect your views. two, if you are a romantic lover and fantastic in BEDmatics, she will call you lord, trust me.... three, once you are not the nosy and possessive type, it makes her free and herself with you..... there are many more deep things that tames any amazon queen or lioness as so called.

What are you saying? If you don't have money, your statement doesn't count. You are seen as a failure that can't advised someone.

You said bedmatic... she will be the one to control you in the room. When a man is not in control, he has lost it.

If you can't be in control, you become a remote control. Don't get it twisted.

SonOfEl:


don't be too sure about that. let's be sincere. the average male is territorial and egoistic. until you understand that, you won't be able to truly conquer a man's heart.

I am not disputing that fact. It is the main reason you shouldn't go up in flames when a woman desire a man who is better off than her or her ambitions.

Keep your ego and territory for your family.

Ha-ha

You are funny

It is not supposed to be an issue... except your masculinity is based on money and educational qualification then it would be a big problem.

in this age where women have been deservedly emancipated, I think they are the ones who do it more, maybe to prove what a man can do, a women it better. their reasons for doing it varies anyway, especially at home. only wise wives desist from such. men on the other hand are partly responsible for what their rich and powerful wives do to them.

The matter tire me

Well i can say i,m experiencing such at the moment ,anyway its always good when you both have to offer but mostly ladies or i saw women get carried away cos sometimes they don't know how to handle it without pride once they have this cush (woman will always remain as they are ) but i will never go against my wife having more than me but to say the fact say the fact ladies find it hard to do more than guys most especially when their men re not in position to help

I can't... I luv to be my own boss.

SonOfEl:


**laughs** levels kor.... ladder ni.... na so e pain you reach? anyway darling, I have NOTICED you. whether you accept it or not, women will always be women, but how a man REACTS to it put the woman in her place.

Personally, no woman can try to intimidate me and succeed, because at the end of the day, intelligence and wealth will always bow to wisdom. #fact.

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

The trend has changed.

if a woman desires a man more successful than she is, its okay. its her choice. but wise women do not measure success AT HOME with money and intelligence. wisdom is key dear. wisdom is not intelligence.

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

Many rich men are also arrogant and treat their wives like crap. Money and position generally gives eople more power in a relationship no mater their sex. The difference is the society is used to the man being in control ( by virtue of his position and money) that when it's the woman with the position and wealth they can't handle the power shift.

For example you can't threaten a woman who payes the rent or bought the house that you will send her to her fathers house when you no dey craze Nigerian men cannot handle the loss of the power to intimidate and control their wives because a woman with money will take less crap.

kevinberry:

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.

SonOfEl:

I agree with the above but It is for the pathetic opinions on this thread that a woman desire a man far better than her.

Midehi:
its only true love that can answer that

1. True love is not a currency in any country. It is not a legal tender. On the other hand, bills do not respect true love. They fall due as at when due.

2. Ladies don't respect a guy who can't pick d bills. Well, not for long. It's nature.

Richer then me to be sincere I can even start


But educated then me if I rich I will

How many of you sef have actually met a rich woman?

Bunch of pathetic souls
