why doesn't some guys want a girl that's higher educated than them??? :bangin:
i've seen some guys going up to a girl and she tells them she's a dentist they run away, like why?! they should be proud and show her of to everryone


 
i think almsot every guy wants a woman with an education.

just when it comes to the medical field, Especially with medicine, both men and women tend to be arrogant.  Other than that, education should be a plus. 
 
The reason is that they might feel threatened, can not be in control and under estimate their dignity.
 
Its his lose, he would fix his teeth free for the rest of his life looool.

Back to the subject, I really don't know what to say because i had a friend who graduated to be a lawyer... all i know was every single guy i knew wanted to ask her hand for marriage.   :lol:

 
carro, I really haven't seen that myself, but I am not suggesting it doesn't exist. I can be very demanding when it comes to education, and the higher the better. It just makes things easier when both the guy and the girl are educated.

But maybe the irony in it is: the guy is not educated enough to know the value of an educated woman? :)

carroo habibti.. the answer is soo simple.. it hurts the ego of that guy. They like to feel superior and they can't do that if the girl has a much higher education.

very small number of guys can get past it but many just can't. Especially guys that are still traditional.

What??? I wish I get married to a highly educated woman. I wish my wife will be smarter than me. I'd hate to date someone who has lack of education and the smartness isn't there.

Same here. It is like you read m mind haha.

I always have this discussion with my mom hehe. She always talks about some women who aren't married but are high educated. She doesn't believe me when I say that some Assyrian men are indeed threatened by this because they can't overpower the woman or be the boss in the house :D.
 
I have seen some girls who are very educated, but are very arrogant and show a lot of jealousy when they know another girl has what they have. Now this is the only type of educated girls I wouldn't want (educated or no, I hate girls who are sick jealous)

Other than that, the more educated the better. And I must admit, I am finding more educated Assyrian girls nowadays than ever before. But unfortunately, can't say the same about educated guys! :L

Carro,

The answer is simple.  Some men are plain stupid.  I myself prefer an educated woman as air-heads bore me to death and I fall asleep within 5 minute of talking to her (it has happened on a date once).

Somebody mentioned arrogance.  Yes, some "educated women" are arrogant, but it is the same as some educated men.  Therefore, you can't assume that the educated are arrogant.  I go back to my original statement.  Some men are plain stupid.
 
I think as a society, we should make educated women (and men) more important and valuable. This way, we motivate them and give them a reason to study and continue their higher education.

But if an Assyrian guy is ridiculed for his education, or an Assyrian girl is not wanted by men for fear of her education, then good luck to such a crappy society.

Our society is one that values education, at least in theory. So when the chance presents itself to be with someone who is educated, and is a nice person too, go for it!

Running away is good, if they end up marrying the dentist, who will marry the airheads? Keep the masses separated, airheads to marry airheads and produce retards, the rest of the Assyrian population to marry each other.

 
LOL @ Salem's comment.

I can't believe I agree with Bani's comment  :giggle:

I can attest to Shami's comment...I've actually been told to dumb it down a notch because a guy felt threatened. I have been told that I am intimidating due to 1) my education/knowledge and 2) my willingness to express it, i.e. make my opinions and perspectives known.

My experiences with Assyrian men is that they want an educated woman, but not one that will show them up...they want her smart but not too smart.

The thing I hate most about the intimidation factor is how people project their own self-beliefs onto me...Just because I disagree with someone over something does not mean I think I'm better than they are, but when someone looks at you an sees someone that is educated and they feel inferior to you, they tend to project this self-belief onto me and make it as if I think I'm better than them. This is beyond frustrating because arrogance is something I detest.

I can't really imagine how dumb this person really was if they asked you to dumb it down a bit....

Mmmm...that sounds like an insult, but its not.  :angelnot:

 
Carro because the educated woman would make the man look stupid, its THAT simple. Also some men like to be the breadwinner in the family, so they wouldnt like the woman to be earning more.

Speaking of that, it could also be a cultural thing, because this may have been the issue back home, but not here in the West. I could be wrong, but I just think that is what it is.

Carro, what is with the title hun? sorry, can't help it, you know I am the "Title Enforcer" lol :)

in regards to being educated,i am reminded of a story.  

in ancient Athens, the oracle of Delphi (which is the equivalent of a prophet) proclaimed one day that Socrates was the Wisest man in Athens. Socrates could not what so ever believe this, what seemed to him "absurd" news from the all divinely inspired oracle of Delphi. So, Socrates sets himself out on a mission to go around Athens to see if the oracle of Delphi was right in her proclamation. subsequently, he goes around asking doctors, lawyers, craftsmen etc..he asked all different people of all different profession this question: who is the wisest in athens?
each person said that they are the wisest because they know everything about their respective field (example the doctor said he was the wisest because he knew everything about the human body, lawyer would say he was the wisest because he knew everything about the law and so forth).

after Socrates? long arduous research, he realized in the end that he in fact was the wisest man in Athens, why? because he was the only one who realized and was conscience of the fact that he knew NOTHING! while all others proclaimed they know all.


this story from the ancient Greeks makes two important points:

1) no matter who it is that makes a certain assertion (professor, priest, minister) always do your own research and come to your own objective conclusions

2) the more u read and learn more, the more u realize that u actully dont know that much.

3) its always a sign of being educated when one admits that they dont know something!
