See, I'm not saying someone has to be Einstein. Even intelligent people are intelligent in different ways.

I think you have to at least respect her on an intellectual level. Or at least I would. The poster I responded to said it was about hotness. I think you need at least to have respect. Otherwise, 5-10 years in, I'd get really sick of hanging around someone I thought was dumb that I didn't respect.

That doesn't mean someone has to be a rocket scientist.

The thread is about money. I don’t think being a secretary or nurse makes you dumb. Being less educated doesn’t mean you’re dumb but it does mean you make less $$$.

My point is physical attraction is way higher on a mans list when choosing someone to date. Money doesn’t mean near as much.

Most women are the opposite. They are always looking for a man with a high social status. The cool kid or jock in high school or the guy with money later in life.

Rich women don’t need money. They will date a professor or some artsy man that they deem in thier mind to have social status.
