"Finding an equally intelligent man does not mean that he has to make a bzillion a year. There are some wonderfully intelligent men who are perfectly happy as "blue collar" workers. I'd be very happy with a witty carpenter!"
My wife is a pretty smart cookie. She graduated from Vanderbilt University with a 4.0. When we met I was working as a truck driver during the week and a bouncer on the weekends while going to school at night. We've been married 26 years and other than the occasional blowup she seems pretty happy. I think the premise that intelligent women can't find men is a major pile of B.S.
Why is it that women in NYC seem to have so many problems with men?
>> Than again, to them, I'm just a boring, Christian conservative.....How little do they understand what a compliment that really is....
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone....

My hubby too!
God Bless You!
"I don't agree with her politics or social views but that doesn't make me smarter than her."
Actually, it might.
What is "smart," anyway? Anyone with a half-decent memory can tuck away enough snappy Oscar Wilde quotes to make himself look smart, and with the right tactics can appear to be winning arguments even when he's dead wrong.
But is this intelligence? Can a person really be called "intelligent" when he is consistently wrong on virtually every question of importance?
A good memory and verbal pyrotechnics can fool or intimidate a lot of people, but when I'm trying to figure out how smart someone is, I look at how often they're right on the big issues.
Nope; not biting...
"many were willing to find someone who was sincere, giving, and selfless."
Damn straight. The best decision I ever made in my life was to put aside my quest for a trophy wife and search for a women with a pure heart. Found her, married her, haven't looked back since. The next 40 years of my life are charmed.
Dang wimmin wid too much book lernin kaint get no fellers to pud up wid em. Iffin dey kaint skin no possom dey aint wurth nuthin.
I didn't suggest she lower her IQ. I suggested humility.
Good point. They are using fuzzy math -- only sample the women who are discontented and trying to rationalize their failures.
They are fools so maybe they really aren't that smart after all.
Here we go again.
Worldly success in a man is like big tits on a woman - all other things being equal, the man who possesses it will get all the girls.
Worldly success in a woman, OTOH, is a neutral factor. It's not BAD, it's not GOOD - in terms of mate selection, it's a zero.
Strivers like MoDo transfer their erotic fascination with worldly success to men, and then blame us when we don't pick up on it.
Stupid.
Right! Like falaciously pretending that you are wife material when you definitely are not!
You NAILED it! Perfectamundo!
But they're so much fun!
You some kind of a spoil sport or something?
That reminds, me: if you don't have a sense of humor, fuggedaboutit!
So a male states he can't find love, because he is too good for the women that presently exist on the planet(and actually believes it) I think we would just call him a creepy loser and move on.
Like Katie Couric and Cokie Roberts, Maureen sold out the beliefs of her youth to gain acceptance from the Left. She got it. Maureen made her bed. She should not be surprised that she will be required to sleep in it. Alone.
LOL!! I can hardly believe things like that, but they are true enough!
I'm going to church this Sunday for the first time in 5 years. Regularly for the first time in 13 years. I now thank God for my singleness; he knew what he was doing in not letting me get stuck with someone like me.
"I guess I fit into the intelligence category (I'm turning 29 in March)."
Among the really wise old sayings that doesn't get enough air play these days is this: Marry in haste; repent at leisure.
Less well known is this: Have kids while you're still young enough to outrun them.
Agreed, see #116.
Honestly, I'm reading from #1 that this woman and her friends are so into themselves that they don't have room for a spouse.
There is nothing like the queasy feeling one gets in his stomach when he is around a dumb woman for too long, not matter how good looking.
