Pro Athlete Dating Professional Women

Rating: No Rating

I wanted to know if you all knew of any professional athlete who are currently dating, have dated or have married women who have obtained a higher degree such as a graduate and or professional degree... Thanks just curious about how rare it it is for women with a higher degree to meet a and marry a professional athlete.

Thing is, a lot of these women(the ones who got their ish together and look good) may not be checking for them. Lawyers can meet other lawyers or successful men in their line of work. Same with registered nurses meeting doctors,etc. They may or may not be willing to tolerate some of the attitudes of professional athletes. And sometimes they don't tend to go out as much or places where they can even meet an athlete. If these women are down and look good, they could damn near have their pick of almost any baller.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Ishtar on March 22, 2009 at 5:06pm: This is a tough pairing because most professional women usually don't feed their "image" like other women do... young minded athletes or those still caught up in EGO image often times find it unflattering when they are not being constantly "flattered"... all men, regardless of their title needs an ego massage, so that's understandable. But the athletes who do date educated women have to be secure within themselves and open to different aspects of things other than the usual party/club scene poppin' champane all day urry day mentallity. These types of merges normally take place either in college before the athlete becomes "famous" or after his shine when he realizes he needs quality rather than quantity.; ▶ Reply to This
