Relationship Tips New study reveals why smart women are less likely to get marriage proposals

By Unknown - Tuesday, April 07, 2015

Nowadays, it appears bright and educated, career-oriented women, feel that they are more likely to be single than their less intelligent counterparts.

Believe it or not, dating women these is as risky as 'going into the arctic tundra', according to elitedaily.

Nowadays, it appears bright and educated, career-oriented women, feel that they are more likely to be single than their less intelligent counterparts.

It seems the bimbos get the man and the smart ladies never find bliss. So what could be reason for this ?

According to financial reporter, John Carney, "Successful men date less successful women not

because they want 'women to be dumb' but rather because they want 'someone who prioritizes their life in a way that's compatible with how you prioritize yours.'"

These days, it seems men want women who won't let their career come before pleasing their men first. If she doesn't, she faces stiff competition from many others who will refuse to fight their men, and will see them as 'saviours' not challengers.

According to elitedaily, it's a do or die affair. "If you're stupid, you're not taken seriously, but if you're smart, you're taken too seriously. Women everywhere are flailing under this double-edged sword. A beautiful, attractive female isn't desirable for her mind, and those with strong characters are seen as threatening, masculine and undesirable."

A recent study on 121 British participants showed that women with high intelligence posed a problem, while men with high intelligence were 'desirable', not problematic. Cultural stereotypes and gender biases are therefore, not letting women be seen as equals. Rational and educated women are ignored.

Most intelligent women may be courted, but then tend to get dumped as 'not worth the effort.' Hence, 'women everywhere are dipping far below their standards just to find men who appreciate them. They are giving up things they thought they wanted for nothing more than a simple 'he's good to me.''

Being intelligent is still making women lose years at dating or prioritising their careers. It simply means that their best bet for boyfriends were being lost for men who were building up their careers.

Feeling threatened and challenged by intelligent women, who they feel are arrogant and will upstage them, most men like to settle for the less challenging kinds.

In an article published by The Daily Beast, Dr. Eileen Pollack explains, "There are all these contradictions that are propagated in our culture that make it seem like you can't be smart and sexy. I don't think most of us challenge the paradigms, we just absorb them."

Hmm... does this mean that women who are getting hitched these days are the dumb ones? Just asking. But guys, what do you think about this relationship study?

Jimi Agbaje ‘Lagos has made progress despite being in opposition,’ PDP candidate says

By Unknown - Tuesday, April 07, 2015

Agbaje made the statement in response to members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) saying that Lagos would suffer if the PDP wins the governorship of the state.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for Lagos State, Jimi Agbaje has said that the state has fared well despite being in the opposition and would continue to do so.

Agbaje made the statement in response to members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) saying that Lagos would suffer if the PDP wins the governorship of the state.

The PDP candidate made the comments via a statement posted on his Facebook page. It reads:

"Dear People of Lagos, you've probably heard the new rhetoric that the APCs spin-masters have been spewing out in the last couple of days stating that if Lagos is in the opposition, the Federal Government will deny Lagos a lot of benefits. Just yesterday, a few well-meaning Lagosians had sent us Facebook and SMS messages asking for my take on this issue so I've decided to speak up."

"First, I wonder about the soundness of this argument especially after listening to President-elect General Buhari's acceptance speech where he clearly stated "There shall no longer be a ruling party again... We shall never rule over the people as if they were subservient to government".

"This basically spoke to our better-angels as a people and our sense of community as Nigerians. If so, then where's the logic in the argument? Is APC LAGOS by the nature of this "aligning Lagos to the center" statement, now inferring that General Buhari intends to run a vindictive, partial or insensitive government? Well, that's not for me to answer and it's clearly not the focus of this piece."

"What I know, however, is that Lagos has always made progress in spite of being in the opposition and right now it will be to the benefit of democracy and the whole country to have a watchful police, as opposed to both power houses - Lagos & Abuja concentrated in one party. In fact, if my memory of history serves me well, Lagos and the FG have never been in the same party. Our development as a state is as a result of our ingenuity, tenacity and drive as a people. And it's clear that Lagosians can see through this total botch of logic."

"In 2007-2011, his excellency, Governor Fashola was AC/ACN/APC while the FG led by Yar’Adua was PDP. Under Yar’Adua, the FG released withheld funds to Lagos that had been blocked by his predecessor despite being in opposing parties with Governor Fashola. You see, our edge as a state has always being about our collective ability to stay ahead of the curve with our without favour from the FG."

"That said, it's important that we put in context what is really happening in Nigeria. The yearning for change that has clearly swept this nation is one that supersedes any one man, political party, tribe or religion. Put simply, it is a statement against the status-quo. A clarion call by the people for leaders who will put the peoples interests first before aggrandisement and petty bickering that seems to have become the norm in politics."

"To politicians, leaders and people in position of authority including myself, it is a call that we cannot stand against. It's one that we must all comply with to ensure that we build a better society and a greater Nigeria."

"It will be my honour to serve as your Governor - a man capable of making his own decisions as I have always done in the past. Quite frankly, I'm not sure anyone can say the same of my opponent."

Agbaje will go head to with APC candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode on April 11, 2015.
