REASONS YOU NEED TO DATE AN ENGINEER

Ladies, lets face it. It seems like there are slim picking out there when it comes finding the perfect boyfriend, and eventually the perfect husband. Forget the losers you dated in high school and the frat boys from college and even the sleazy professionals from your first job in the real world. What you are looking for, my friends, is a man who’s an engineer.

Here are 7 slightly more specific reasons why you need an engineer.

They make great money

 Ok, it’s no secret that engineers make incredible money. And what girl isn’t looking for a little sugar here and there? But what sets engineers apart from the rest of these high-power, high-money positions is that they won’t go overboard with showing off their bling.

Engineers tend to stay humble about their money, but still want to spoil the heck out of his lady. It’s the perfect balance, really!!

They have a stable job

The Kenyan economy has always needed engineers, and they will always will. On top of that, a 27 yr old former engineering student probably has a few good, solid years of experience under his belt at that point, versus a law student who’s probably still going to school and will be paying off school loans for the rest of his life.

No, an engineer has a steady job straight out of college, and they don’t need an obscene amount of school. That means more time for you- YAY!

They are freaking smart

How sick are you of going on dates with lame-o guys who don’t know how to carry on a good intelligent conversation?  Ladies want to go on a date with a man who knows how to discuss important topics- not just shoes, clothes cars and definitely no politics.

Engineers are great for that-but they also won’t overpower you with the smartness. They will still love to hear about your latest shopping spree, I’m sure (translation: they are smart but laid back too)

They work hard to understand you

Engineers make very sure in their day-to-day lives to understand their tasks at hand. You are just another task to him to accomplish, so he will do everything in his power to work to understand you and learn to make you happy.

When he figures out what works he will store it as a “formula” in his head and remembers that it makes you happy- and he will continue to repeat it while making tiny variations each time so you are still on your toes. It’s a wonderful and exciting happiness!!

They are dedicated

Did you, or do you know any engineering students in school? Do you see them about a parties, or were they always at the library with their nose in a book (this definitely not me, I loved having a good time to release the steam)

Engineers are naturally dedicated to their profession, and such dedication is carried over into other aspects of their lifestyle- like paying attention to you. That’s a win-win right there: a guy totally dedicated to you and his successful career? My friend grace just said yes to that.

They are too busy to cheat

As if the dedication factor wasn’t already enough, add into the equation the fact that they have crazy project deadlines to meet and rarely have much free time, and you have yourself a cheat-proof boyfriend/husband

Don’t let that stuff scare you, though- yes, they are busy, but they will always find time for you. They are great time managers!

They do all the handy work

Whether you own a house or live in an apartment, when something goes wrong, who do you call to fix it?? Do you shell out money to the pros when there is a crack on your floor or the pipes under your sink burst?

Let’s be honest- most of the men don’t that’s why you have to call the pros. But when you have an engineer for a boyfriend / husband you have a built-in handyman. They are smart enough to figure out all the tough stuff, and he won’t charge you(except for a hug or a kiss-which you should give anyway)
