Too many young men are avoiding marriage. Are they intimidated by highly-educated feminist women?

graduate degrees/high iq/highly educated are not all the same thing.

in fact, they are in the real world, in my observations, really 3 separate categories that rarely overlap.

(1) A marriage without conversation would be unendurable.

(2) People delay marriage today because they have many more opportunities to play the field, and because unserious relationships are easier to manage while establishing your career/business than marriage and parenthood.

It has nothing to do with anything except whether a woman knows the difference between right and wrong and has the capacity to put the needs of her children before her own. That being said, the husband needs to know the difference between right and wrong and put the needs of his wife and children before his own.

Pretty darn simple.

I don’t care as long as she can cook and doesn’t back-talk.

I always got along better with very intelligent women. My girl friends before I was married were all very intelligent. My wife is genius level intelligent.

Low IQ women make better wives. They don’t realize what jerks their husbands are and stay with them! {:^/

It’s only an opinion but I think it’s best to match up closely in terms of intelligence.

High IQ or college degree? Pick just one and stick to it. They are two separate criteria.

No, men are avoiding (I would say “evading”) marriage because they are taught to be lecherous and to not embrace marriage, never mind the responsibility that comes with it. The left has a big hand in this with their notion of “abolition of the family” doctrine, designed to break down society.

As for “IQ”, that’s meaningless since it’s based on standardized tests devised by psychologists. (For the record, psychology was not regarded as a science until the 1870s, but as a branch of philosophy.)

IQ and attitude are mutually exclusive.

Having a degree does not mean high IQ, they are not equal

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.

Sanity is much more important than IQ, but good luck with that.

I don't know if graduate degrees make for a better wife and mother (or husband and father) but divorce rates go down with more education.

“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.
