The woman smarter than the man

Jobrag

I can't remember where I heard this but it was a long time ago, an American husband explaining that his wife insisted that he was smarter then her, so he should make the important decisions, what they thought about the Vietnam War, who they should vote for, whether abortion should be legalised, while she would make the unimportant ones, where they would live, what car they would drive and where the kids would go to school.

I thiink its unlikely she would not date you based on your intelligence. I know many women who seem much smarter (in the sense you are using the term) than thei boyfriends/husbands.

The obvious answer is that sometimes the woman is smarter, and sometimes not. It also depends on how we define smart. Most folks select a definition that makes them feel smarter.

But I find it interesting that all the ancient mystical traditions attribute wisdom to the female, or they will do something common in the Kabbalah that attributes wisdom to the male and understanding to the female. If I understand the esoteric language correctly, that mean the guy might know a lot, but the girl is more likely to demonstrate it in a practical and useful way.

Neurosexism, that's all I'll say.

Clearly your only option at this point is to bribe her pyschologist to hand over her IQ scores.

You will then need to pay the money to take an IQ test from the same pyschologist (we want some consistency, right?) and figure out what your score is.

Now, if your IQ scores are within 10 points, you're in luck! You two will be compatible and will have an everlasting, loving bond that will never be broken!

Now, on the other side, if your IQ scores are 11 points or more apart, then I must unfortunately inform you that it just wasn't meant to be.

.... See how absolutely moronic that sounds? Talk to her. It doesn't have to be about science, even if, in your opinion, that's the only thing in the world that is worth knowing.

Literally, talk to her. If you guys hit it off well, then take things from there. If not, and under some amazing circumstances she refuses to talk to you because you got a B on your last math exam, then I guess you'll have to look elsewhere.

Chemistry professor to males students "Find the smartest girl you can and get her to marry you. You'll never be sorry."

The "smart" girl doesn't need a super brainy guy. She needs a guy who is perceptive, who appreciates her for who and what she is and with whom both will be better than they are separately. GO for it.

if women declined to marry guys they are smarter than, there would be few marriages.

Once I pointed out to my wife how stupid she was and she said "I'm not half as stupid as you are." Well, she is my friends, and I let her know it too.

My guess is that most successful relationships have each person at roughly the same intelligence.

I'm certainly not interested in women who are obviously less intelligent than I am.
Or who have a liberal arts degree.
I mean, at least not by the next morning.
