Allow me to quote the title of The Knack's 2nd album: "But The Little Girls Understand"... The "little" part is kinda weird, but that WAS in the 80's |

"But The Little Girls Understand"
I'm guessing that Michael Jackson will never do a remake... |

Well, as has been said, intelligence doesn't have a lot to do with it, except in terms of how compatible you are.
But then I'm biased, as I'm 24 and have been married for almost four years.
What I find a lot more relevent (in my personal situation) is background. We grew up in similar families, who did similar things.
Actually, it turns out his mum and my dad have known each other for years (considering we look quite alike, it's a good thing they've only known each other for sixteen years).
Anyway, where was I?
Oh yes.
Well, he's the one with the science degrees, I'm the artist. I'm also excellent at English and read almost constantly, but he's the one who's good at computers. We make a great team.
So, in summation, that's a load of ole sh*te. |

Keep in mind that the study refers to "likelyhood" of getting married, not an absolute, so there are many people who will not fit the scenario. My theory is that smart women see other opportunities early on and postpone marrying without recognizing that the longer you postpone, the more likely it is not to happen at all. As for music, I'm strongly challenged in that area, but I do believe that it is another category of intelligence in itself. All intelligence isn't measured by books and degrees. For myself, I'm working on the degree because the guitar didn't work out. Wish me luck. |

Hey, There have been many a times when I just about slammed my guitar against the wall. It is a never ending battle!!!! But hey, some women go after the frustrated musician type. |

...and some people marry for all the wrong reasons. Also, I can't think if my husband and I ever sat down & compared IQs. I have better grammar than he has...but not as well as...an English professor.
He & I came from similar backgrounds (broken home), similar education (we both graduated highschool, he went to tech school), and the sex was good! |

Actually, it's the higher a woman's IQ, the less she would want to get married!  |

I heard somewhere that an IQ test refers more to how "testable" you are rather than your intelligence (sort of like the SAT, I guess--it's how well you can take a test)...there's another intelligence test that I took in high school that tests seven different kinds of intelligence (audio/musical, visual/artistic, writing, something, something, I forget the rest) that's supposed to be a lot more accurate. BTW I feel the pain of everyone who's been in a relationship with someone who's not intellectually up to your level...I have an amazing boyfriend, but when it comes to conversations that involve thinking, he's not exactly the brightest crayon in the box. It drives me NUTS. |

I think most ladies like a guy that seems more intelligent. I know that a guy's ego can get in the way if the woman seems to be smarter. |

Razela, that's just silly. "do you know what a french horn looks like?". Why should that matter. That would be like me turning someone down because they didn't like me turning someone down because they didn't know what a synthesizer is. What the fuck is a french horn anyways? |

I like purple...
As to intelligence... I have an honours, but when I am out of school I am the least intellectual person out there. I mean I laugh at my dog licking himself. I find a person who is enjoying their life attractive. You can be a genius, and if you don't have fun good bye. But, on the other hand, you can be merely competent and be a fun person and I'll love ya. |

Mr. Boner, it matters b/c Razela doesn't want to be with someone who isn't familiar with something that is a large part of her life.
If a large part of your life involved synthesizers, you'd probably want someone who at least knew what it was. |

I played violin for eight years. Does that make me a frustrated musician? If so then maybe I can start using it to get me some chicks.  |

Yep, Meagan is exactly right. I tried dating a guy who knew nothing of basic musical concepts and had never played and instrument in his life. Music is a huge part of my life, yet I couldn't even talk to him about it because he just didn't understand. It was too frustrating. "What is a french horn" is a very easy question for anyone who knows even the basics about music. Only the basics is all I require. |

Well, if you're asking an Frenchman what a French Horn is...he won't know. The French call it an English Horn. |

Nah, the english horn is a whole different instrument though.

Wow, the F. Horn has 12 feet of tubing. No wonder it is so damn heavy!
Heh, what do the french call the french horn?
Horn de France?
Yep, now you know the extent of my french =) |

Now I could start to make some great puns here....
But then, that is my superior IQ, which a.o. expresses itself in word associating, even in foreign languages.... |
