This reminds me of one of my favorite jokes:


Q: What do you call the useless skin around the vagina?


A: The woman.

Not if you’re a highly educated man.

Myy friend dated a girl who thought a lion was a female tiger. It wasn’t sustainable, even though she was, by a factor of two, the nicest looking woman he had ever had.

I don't think I could get past jokes continually going over her head. I would feel like my life would be less meaningful if I couldn't make my wife laugh on the reg.

It is if she is hot.

I do prefer one that is at least competent. I don’t want one that thinks she is smarter than me and feels she has to prove it constantly. But I also don’t want one I can’t converse with or have to help her with every little mundane task

Married guy here, maybe in my 30’s I would care a bit, but now intelligence is not in my top 100 of concerns.

Feel ya.

Peanut Gallery view:

Maybe her family wasn't so open, curious nor large -- so neither was all of that (nor humor) important in her circle of family & friends.

Some excellent traits there and values that you share ( don't under-rate them. )

If the relationship is < 2 years you still have a shot at cultivating and encouraging a personality & interests that still haven't yet blossomed.

>2+ years, it's going to be harder. She should still be led toward your interests and humor. (If your humor style is sarcasm, it'll be tougher to get on that same page)

I think the times may have changed the answer to this too.

Today, being dumb often means excessively vapid, celebrity obsessed, social media obsessed, etc. I'm not cut out for that.

I'm sure in prior generations dumb girls liked other dumb stuff, but wholesome dumb stuff > this era's dumb stuff.

I think you know the answer or you wouldn't have posted the question.

This quote is pretty much a nail in the coffin. If yall can't have a conversation about anything other than her interests then thats a huge issue. I'm not saying she should be able to name every football player on your favorite team or be up to speed on world politics but conversation needs to come naturally and shouldn't be reserved to generic pop culture. You are gonna potentially spend everyday for the rest of your life with this broad if you marry her, you shouldn't be running out of convo topics already.

I'm not saying her loving T swift is an issue, but it shouldn't be the deepest thing yall can talk about. Does she show any interest in what you care about? If she tries, maybe its worth sticking around and seeing if it gets better but if she doesn't care at all about anything you care about then bail.

Edit: let me add that my wife doesn't give af about history or sports but she will let me talk to her about either and ask questions like she's interested even though I know she will retain zero of the info and doesn't actually give af.

If she does not have the ability to think through situations, weigh evidence, and come to an appropriate conclusion without emotion…then she is a woman.

If she can do the above, she may be a tranny.

Do not date the trannies.

I don't want to derail the conversation, but I watched the Naked Gun with my gf of 1 month and she didn't laugh once. Should I break up with her if she can't laugh at Enrico Palazzo singing the national anthem?

Your children will have half her genes. Is she legit dumb or just not into the same stuff as you? If it’s the former, I would pass. Some people are just into different stuff and have different senses of humor. That’s fine.

We have friends who are still single.

From a distance we've seen them make mistakes in their lives because they have noone to say "Whoa, you really don't want to buy that house 2500 miles away and have two non-income producing properties to take care of."
and
"You don't need to buy a third horse"
"`You need to get away from that crowd who are just drinking buddies"

and so on.

Some of our friends are men, some are women, none are both.

Marrying somebody "dumb" would be like staying single, only more expensive.

In response to the real question here, I'm pretty sure Taylor and Travis are on the clock.
