I know that this topic is very controversial. Conservatives have always complained about radical feminism, and such radical feminists are over-represented among women with graduate degrees.
Are women without college degrees better than women with graduate degrees, when it comes to fulfilling the job of wife and mother?
Intellect is far less important than kindness, a sense of responsibility, and matching religious viewpoint.
Anyone (male or female) focused primarily on intelligence in seeking a mate is probably not going to have to look for one only once.
Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa...I know a lot of very smart (common sense) women with degrees that choose not to buy in to the liberal clap trap.
These women are extremely smart and “sensible” it is the later that apparently eludes liberal highly-educated feminist women either that or they are immune to being sensible.
There is country smart and there is city smart — At the end of the day I would rather spend my time with people that are down to earth country smart than some tortured whinny American hating liberal city smart woman.
Why do men have to be intimidated or avoiding marriage — Why can’t men just be avoiding annoying women?
That is my story and I’m sticking to it.
Far better to choose a virtuous woman.
Isn’t that pretty much what I said?
Husbands are to lay down their lives for their wives, only most of them never get to that part, they stop at the wives submitting part

Bingo! Way too many people equate graduate degrees with intelligence. I know many people with unimpressive intelligence who have college degrees, and many HIGHLY intelligent folks who couldn’t afford to go to college or simply had other aspirations.
I happen to be a college graduate with a bachelors degree, but I’ll be the first to admit that you don’t HAVE to go to college to become smart or successful. Sad to say, when I see or hear of people who went to “Ivy Leagues” schools, I actually think they are more likely to be DUMBED DOWN as a result of all their exposure to left-wing indoctrination!
Sanity is much more important than IQ, but good luck with that.

“Which Women Make Better Wives - Low IQ or High IQ Women?”
Nice guys do better with smart women. Jerks do better with dumb women.
The more slimy a guy is the dumber a woman has to be to be attracted to him.
If the US Federal Government stopped paying “Baby Mommies” to have babies would there then be “Too (sic) many young” WOMEN that would be avoiding marriage?
IOW, follow the money.
Intimidated? If I avoid even associating with nasty, carping harridans with a massive chip on their shoulders, it’s because I’m intimidated?
No, it’s because they have nothing to offer that would be a positive addition to my life, and a whole lot to offer that would be a detriment.
Like it or not, it’s a two-way street. Such women are having difficulties finding a man to marry because they’re no longer suitable or desirable for marriage. They’ve spent their lives building themselves up and tearing men down, and do not stop that behavior at the wedding chapel. If anything it just becomes more focused upon the unfortunate male who blunders into their grasp.
Looks like a turkey baster is in their future, but I’m sure it’s mens’ fault, lol.
You shouldn’t put “highly educated” and “feminist” next to each other in the same sentence or idea.
They are not mutually inclusive terms.
I know plenty of very smart women who are great mothers, very feminine, very conservative, and not shrill hags.
A stupid woman will leave you just as easy and quickly as a smart woman would. The question is: Which type would you miss the most?
Agreed, a woman with COMMON sense is hard to beat.
I note that you don't expect a wife to put her husband's needs before her own. Any particular reason for this expectation?
I have an IQ of 128. I have two and a half years of college, yet never received a degree. I left college to marry and make babies, then went back again a few years later and had to stop after one semester. (The kids got sick)
I treat my husband like gold.
I’ve known women with graduate degrees that have no idea that flour is made of wheat, that cows and bulls are of the same species, have no idea where eggs come from, or how to make a loaf of bread from scratch. Yet, they can do calculus. (I am terrible at math.)
I’ve had friends with IQs in the 90’s who can instinctively grow anything in a garden, but I cannot.
It’s difficult to really understand the potential of another human being. My cousin has dyslexia and reads at a 4th grade level, yet is a mathematical and mechanical genius. (That is not an exaggeration. In those areas, she’s a certified genius.) She’s home raising five babies and she can fix or build anything. Good wife.
Well I think a good wife ought to be at least smart enough to still be breathing.
Many men avoid marriage because society has caused it to be legally and financially unwise.
Most modern women aren’t worth the risk.
(For the record I am happily married for 35 years, but would caution most young men to be very wary.)
My wife of 36 years was valedictorian in HS and graduated Summa Cum Laude from college.
Prior to meeting her I ‘dumped’ a long-time and beautiful girl friend who remarked to me one day that she didn’t know the United States had been attacked in WW2.
My wife is a 5’10” blonde who can still wear her wedding dress.
