8 reasons to date an MBA graduate
Do you get jitters on the thought of dating an MBA student? Scared that after a nice date, he’ll start over analysing the day and present the minutes of the meeting immediately after? Or worse, he’ll start measuring the date on the basis of input–output model?
Relax. MBAs are not as scary as they seem. On the contrary, they are quite adaptive, communicative, innovative, and always work with a motive. What could be better than an ‘MBA love’!
So squash all those theories on why you shouldn’t date a management student.
Instead, here are top eight reasons on why you should date an MBA graduate.
1. Marriage material
An MBA on the CV of your partner? Yes, mummy-papa-bhaiya-didi-etc will approve. Your nosey folks will quit cribbing and try to figure out how the hell did you impress an MBA. They’ll even let you go out for a really late night-out. And why not? You deserve it. After all you did all the hard work of finding a perfect socially approved guy with fat pay checks.
2. Negotiation skills
Want that over-priced Louis Vuitton bag or a Jimmy Choo? You have a perfect negotiator on your side. Meeting or shopping – an MBA graduate knows exactly how to seal a deal. Who cares if it’s a no-bargain zone? Have you heard an MBA graduate discuss behavioural analysis that simulates morphological analysis in reference to game theory? See what I mean. (Now, go figure out the terms.)
3. Gender Ratio
This one is for the ladies.
Have you ever been to a real B-School? Like engineering colleges, there are just not enough woman classmates around. Flowers, chocolates and fine dining is just the trailer. He’s bound to treat you like a Goddess. He’ll go all the way round to show you off and treat you right.
4. Late-night fiesta
Talk to an MBA student and you are bound to hear at least a million statements about too many assignments, mid-night study groups and slogging it out.
You know what that means? 2 am or 2 pm – you can connect to an MBA graduate anytime. They are always available and always on the phone. Just talk it out. Or go for a midnight fiesta.
5. Management
This person is learning (or has already learnt) how to manage people and ideas at school. They’ll definitely know a thing or two about home management and administration. So just sit back and relax, while the MBA love of your life brews the perfect cuppa for you.
6. Money-matters
You need no Sherlock to figure out that MBA is one of the highest paid profession. Invest in your relationship now. Bask in the security of money and six-figure pay checks every month.
7. Trophy Partners
Have you heard their CAT/XAT/GMAT score? Or how they collaborated with the brightest and mightiest to create the most innovative ‘stuff’ of the year? Your partner is not just someone you cuddle up with. It’s the one you show off to the entire world. ‘Did you know my boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse has an MBA from XYZ institute?’
8. World Tour
Most MBA grads are either already touring the world (say thanks to global assignments) or planning to go on one as soon as possible. Some even go to extent of planning early retirements so that they can tour the world forever. All you need to do is hop in to their arms and enjoy the view with a flute of champagne.
