You put forth two most excellent points...
50/50 chance we lose everything in divorce. This isn’t your father’s America we live in.
“IQ tests are, as of yesterday at the close of the business day, the best predictor of ability to excel in a field of human endeavor.”
That’s racist!!!
This reminds me of the old joke about Billy Joel and Christy Brinkley.
Billy Joel: Christy how could God have made you so beautiful and so dumb?
Christy Brinkley: God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me. And God made me dumb so that I would be attracted to you.
Thread picture requirement fulfilled.
“After giving it much thought and consideration, he decided to marry the one with the largest breasts.”
So the grade of A B C and D does make a difference. I thought so.
Well I would definitely recommend a High IQ Woman—but you had sure as hell better be good to her!
Count your blessings.
There are so many good responses on this thread, it's hard to pick one in which to respond.
Yours is one of the good ones. You have to have similar intellects. I dated more than a few guys after my divorce, was divorced a long time but a couple things that were very important, they had to be conservative, I did not want to spend my life arguing with an idiot and they had to be intelligent (but not TOO intelligent) - you know, about my level. Dumb guys I dumped really quickly, only met one or two overly smart guys and I just couldn't converse, for some reason they were creepy to me.
So it's better if every time you open your mouth, the response is "No, it was...", "No, it is..." or "No, that's wrong..."? A substantial number of women with whom I am acquainted are exactly like that.
Which begs the question: If a man speaks in the forest, and there is no woman to hear him, is he still wrong?
Your the first one that has come close to mentioning the word “trust” in this thread.
Which should have been brought up right just after comment #1.
Trust is a HUGE reason I’m still married to the same woman after 35 years.
We have a phrase here close to Memphis that we use to describe some of the politicians. They have PhD’s and are dumb as a bag of hammers.
We call that “educated beyond their intelligence”.
You men aren't avoiding marriage, young women are. If young women wanted to get married before having sex, and demanded that husbands have their own place and a job, guess what you would see going on in the world.
What society has done instead is to stretch adolescence out to the age of 30.
Tiny tots are without guile and if their love for someone is genuine...
I have the same opinion except it pertains to cats.
If a strange cat will cross the street to be petted by my wife, I know I have chosen wisely...
I’ve got an extremely educated conservative, Christian wife who home-schools our 4, soon-to-be 5 kids.
Well, if you want to follow pseudoscience based in Greek philosophy, that’s your prerogative. Ultimately, it’s the true bravo sierra and incompatible with anything involving US conservatism; it’s a trap that all the past societies fell into to their own peril.
IQ tests do not predict anything related to success or failure in human endeavor. Unless it has to do with malfeasance?—because after all, Obama reportedly has an IQ of 145. And they are based on standardized tests devised by psychologists; that’s pure fact.
At least a college graduate has learned something about long term goals and delayed gratification. There are other ways to learn that, but this is one.
The other thing I would say is that women with more education tend to be more risk averse. I’ve read that they are significantly less likely than poorly educated women to have a child out of wedlock. Again, not saying you need college to learn caution, but it seems to be one way.
Now there’s some wisdom right there.
As long as she’s a sapiophile.
