I made a discussion for woman like this before. There is one response from janabanana8576 to ask the men their feel if their lover/wife have higher education. Would men feel like their masculinity is being threatened if their lover/wife is more educated than they are?. please share with us!

I've never seen intelligence as a masculine trait, so why would a man feel threatened by a woman being more intelligent than him. I can understand a man might feel less masculine if his wife is stronger than him, but not more intelligent. intgelligence isn't perceived as more a mans thing than a womans, so a real man won't feel concerned if his wife is cleverer than him.

Amen, sister! I don't think it's intelligence that is a factor with men. I think it's money that gets to their ego. A lot of men I know are intimidated by women who make more than they do. Since most of the time, a higher education would land you a job with higher pay (not all the time though), then some people infer that it was the higher education that intimidated men, and not salary.

That's what you call a real love, for that matter, you won't care about what others may say about your relationship. Some will degrade them for not using their heads especially the woman who has higher education than the man. They will call the girl names for not using her mind in choosing someone to love. But for me, if its the heart that commands you can do nothing but to obey.

There is a common concept that wife must be less educated than husband. But it is not right. Iam more educated than my husband. Earning more too. But we never had a problem with it because i used to give all my salary to him. Money is the problem after all with all the people. If we start maintainig the sash separately then the problem starts. If both the salary are consider as one nothing will happen. Then about intelligence, higher educated will always be humble and must try to understand the better half. Everything lies in understanding only, so let your wife be educated well, No problem

I think it depends. some might be concerned about their so-called masculine but men who are intelligent might not care about this. would it be bad if your family have a better income?lol
