Could you date/marry someone who is "dumber" than you?

[zerocool84]

is instead obsessed with superficial things.

That's basically every woman out there. There's a reason why they love that TMZ, wear make-up, and watch reality shows. The only ones who don't are those douchy Prius driving, tree hugging, vegan eating women who I wouldn't want to get near.

:awe:

but then again, it still doesn't account for a dumb personality and other aspects of intelligence.

I have no conceptual understanding of what you just said and I do not even know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

Being that I am amongst the top 1% of humanity in terms of looks, intelligence, athletic ability, and penis size, marrying someone who is dumber than me would be an incredible waste of my genetic gifts. I will only accept the best. Everyone knows this.

 

[mugs]

I'd have had a hell of a time finding a woman who is smarter than me... but my wife isn't dumb.

I find most women in their 20s who are extremely intelligent are pretty annoying.

I will quote the immortal Ron White.

maybe you shouldnt...he's now divorced

depends on what you mean by dumb. someone with a decent iq can believe in retarded sh*t like homeopathy and be peta insane or whatever. would you really care if natalie portman couldn't do math as well as you? lol

 

[Geekbabe]

My husband I suspect is a few points above me in the IQ test scale, however I think I bring a skill or two to the table that are quite valuable. LOL, I keep people from killing him

 

[Adrenaline]

I have dated women that were smarter or not as smart as me with no problem. It only matters if they are complete idiots and can't hold a conversation that it can become annoying.

 

[FoBoT]

i don't see any alternative

I could never marry someone who isn't capable of at least single variable calculus and writing a for-loop, at least in pseudo code. There will be tests.

 

[skim milk]

yes I could
as long as she can please me in bed with her attractive sex appeal (meaning she has to have physical assets), knows how to cook, has good family values and good personality

 

[JS80]

In my personal experience there is a correlation between "smart" and bitchiness. So it's a huge turn off for me.

 

[Nik]

I almost did. That'll never happen again.

 

[ch33kym0use]

Possibly, however I doubt it. I thinks...she has to be intelligent enough for me or it's rejection.

 

[El Guaraguao]

nope, because that person wouldn't understand any of my jokes.

 

[nageov3t]

depends what kinda dumb we're talking about... like, in terms of book smarts or education? sure, no problem.

but I don't think I could be involved in a serious relationship with someone who didn't have any intellectual curiosity.

 

[ChanHo78]

my gf is much smarter than I am for sure. Sometimes I feel like a piece of meat...

 

[JKing106]

Dumber = much greater chance of fellatio.

Seriously, as long as they're at least in the 120 IQ range, it's fine.

 

[TridenT]

Well, everyone is dumber than me... So, I kinda have to.

Tell me more about your thoughts on women.

 

[Xstatic1]

ooh, gotta watch that episode. is it the "ignorance is bliss" that aired on the 23rd?

 

[Kadarin]

This says it pretty well. When it comes down to sharing your life with someone, there has to be something there for her to share.

 

[angminas]

Some intelligence would be necessary, or she'd never understand what I was saying. Hard to forge a relationship like that. But character is MUCH more important to me than intelligence. The smartest person in the world is a waste of flesh if all they do is look down on others. Generally speaking, it's not like intelligent people did anything to earn their intelligence, that they should brag and be full of themselves. I wish I had understood that when I was a kid.

 

[slayer202]

Well considering I am a straight male, I guess I have no choice
