An IQ within a few points of 100 is OK with me.Maybe a tad higher,in fact.I don’t want any rocket scientists,however,because I sure ain’t one so both I and the rocket scientist would get bored with each other pretty quickly.
Like the mechanic said after sending a female doctor on her way with a completely repaired motor, broken down due to never changing the opil in five years: "It's a good thing there will not be any marriage in Heaven 'cause there's gonna be a shortage of real not fakey women there."
High IQ wives who are not brainwashed into thinking that only by their limited work can they be valid.
Women who are independent thinkers, who can homeschool their many children, run a household, love their husbands, and be contributors to their community. Think Proverbs 31
Opposites attract as similarities endure...as long as 1+1=3, you will do just fine.
My IQ is 169. Doctorate degree (quantitative).
I am a stay at home mom to four.
When I was young and simplistic, I set my prereqs of a perfect husband:
1. Taller than I am.
2. Older than I am.
3. Dark-haired.
4. Smarter than I am.
My husband of 24 years is 4 inches taller than I am with dark hair, and he is 5 weeks older than I am.
His IQ is about 135, but he is a hard worker. If I were in school today, they would say I am ADHD. In college, we took 3 classes together. We tied in macro, he beat me in financial accounting, and I kicked his butt in advanced Game Theory (he dropped the class since I had 101% and he “only” had 93%).
Dinner is made by the time he gets home almost always. His shirts always look nice. I do 90% of the kid stuff. He can focus on work (which he loves). We both benefit from the current circumstances, although I am “underemployed”.
First child just graduated (she skipped 1 year). Second child (profoundly dyslexic() is a junior on 80% scholarship at MIT (and football starter). Third child is soph in HS and skipped 3 grades. Fourth child is in 7th grade and very dyslexic and on his way to Eagle Scout with good grades.
Did my hubbie do well, or did I?
