 So I found this VERY depressing.

Unfortunately I don't have a login to read the actual article, but basically
it supposedly says that the higher a woman's IQ is, the less likely she is
to get married.

I want a girl that can have a conversation better than, "Hi. How was your day? I'm tired. <insert tv show here> is on. So-and-so is sexy."

Seriously, if a girl has no genuine insights about the world around her, and all she can do is state basic opinions and the obvious, I literally cannot stand to talk to or be spoken to by her. It's like a distraction from useful or entertaining thought.

That's not to say I don't care about people like that. A close friend of mine is borderline retarded, and I'd kill anybody who took advantage of her, but I can't carry a conversation with her. I do enjoy teaching her things, though.

Anyway, that was off topic. Personally, if I met an intelligent, intellectual girl, I'd be all over her. And if I managed to find a girl smarter than myself, I'd take as much advantage of that as I could. After all, it's easier to improve when you've got someone smarter or more experienced around to help.

It's nice to be able to be cohorts/partners in whatever projects/schemes the two of you can come up with. Plus, it makes the sex better. Creative sex rules. wink

Eh. It cut out "(insert tv show here)" from my post, due to my use of the carrot characters used in HTML.

I really prefered smart women because you can talk to them, but if she is way smarter than you than she will just not respect you (because they think that a man should know what to do in the difficult situations), in other words women don't want to become their husband's mom, so they look forward to smart men. Also when a man is smart he tends to have a good job, and therefore good wages, maybe money is the real atractive in the case of smart men, not only intelligence. I am a scientist and I don't have many girls chasing me (OK I don't have any) but I like to think I am not stupid. So I guess money is more important than IQ for men.
