I have no problem with it. In college my gf was going to be a dentists. She finished college in 3 years and started dental school. I was going to be an engineer. I didn't care if she made more money than me. Hell she already had more because her dad was a dentist and she had daddy's money. She bought me lots of things lol.

The only time an educated and successful woman would be shuned by men is if her education and success goes to her head. We know that men can make into this mistake but so can women. This type of question seems to come up a lot. Why are women asking this? It seems rather strait forward. |

Why are women asking this? It seems rather strait forward. My guess, probably for the same reason men are like this. My theory. Some people see a relationship as an opportunity to compete with somebody over superiority. Others see relationships as opportunities forl mutual nurturance. Could this have anything to do with our culture of "Everybody loves a winner. I'm number 1! Nobody remembers #2. "? Could it be that women are still feeling like the victims of the sex warfare that has kept women in subservience from the beginning of time? Could it be the mentality that thought The War of the Roses was a really fun movie? (I absolutely despised it). Just questions. I don't have any answers. |

To be honest with you there are still few section of the male fraternity who are intimidated by educated women. But as time flies most of the male fraternity have accepted this fact that women can be smarter than men.
Men like to be in control the boss if you will of every situation and they lose that as soon as you start to talk. You met a guy and you go out the very first time you correct him or laugh at something he said wrong without meaning anything by it other then you thought it was cute it's over before he even gives it a chance. |

Ahh! That's a whole new nuance. I can only speak for myself. I'm wrong almost as often as I'm right. I don't mind being corrected one bit if you can do so lovingly and in good humor. If your message is, "I am always right, you are always wrong, you are a dunce!" then it is not going to go well. If you take my hands and sit me down gently, and say, "OK, Art. Let's think this through." I will be very open to correction. More importantly, I will feel like you still love me and value me.

Yes, education would have an impact. We don't care that you're father in life for any reason, just that we can't match what you are used to.

I guess the man being intimidated only comes when he feels that way and behaves that way towards the highly educated woman.if he looks at her as a woman then whether she is more financially loaded or more educated he can still be in control and get his way.

Yes! Educated women do frighten men.
Want to know why? It's very simple and most men won't say it but.... It's their mother. A woman more educated than them makes them think of their mother. What man likes dating his mother? |

But as time flies most of the male fraternity have accepted this fact that women can be smarter than men. I hope you are not serious. Neither gender has more intelligence than the other. Both have the same caacity to learn and understand. Men and women do have differences in perception but this doesn't mean one is smarter, just different. |

What man likes dating his mother? Not everyone has a smart mother so this theory is out, my mother was not very educated and instead she liked to spend her time watching soap operas... Educated women are better so you can connect mentally, someone who you can actually share things with and not have to explain everything. But each to his own... |

Gravelridgeboy, I like your username.
Reminds me of a title of a John Mayall song, "Saw Mill Gulch Road." These names have a rustic character, and a grunge-ey yet down-home country-fresh taste of down-home goodness to them. |

SP...Apparently, being smart makes it more difficult to be manipulated by crazy drama mommas & they don't handle that too well  We'd better keep the man/momma relationship issues to other threads or this may get messy I am just so glad I have parents that are decent people at heart |

I donno....
I think it boils down to personal insecurities on both sides. If a guy is insecure, then yes...a smart and independant woman can be intimidating (I guess) The other side of the coin is this... Education doesnt insure that the woman aint some nut job emotional basket case who rationalizes the fact that she cant keep her man cause he must be intimidated by her education. For me personally...it's all bullschitt. Formal educations mean diddly squat to me. I am self educated yet hold no degree. I like women to be wicked smart...but that is just me. What makes me laugh is when ANYONE expects me to be intimidated by thier education or job....and get indignant when I refuse to bow to thier title or position. I give them the benifit of the doubt and view them as equals until they prove themselves as sniveling dumbasses.... Yes kids...even highly educated people can be clueless retards when you yank thier heads out of the books. |

I had a falling out with my friend that is a vet last week @ the rodeo because she acted like the spoiled little brat she still is & I didn't play her game (not the way she wanted anyhow)! Called her on the bs & refused to let her get her way or talk to me like she was trying to so now I am a chitty friend! LOL |
