    I have before I got married. She was a pretty, but dumber than a box of rocks

    How do you even judge that? I have no clue and have probably been both the smarter and dumber in my relationships. Meh.

    I don't think that it's possible to find someone less intelligent than you...

    My husband and I are equally intelligent. I wouldn't be able to be happily married to someone that I didn't find intriguing and engaging, which I think require a pretty high level of intelligence.


    Now, would I hook up with someone considerably less intelligent? ... you bet your *kitten*.

    I wouldn't date someone that I couldn't have an intelligent conversation with.

    Intelligence is hot.

    "quantifiable measures of intelligence" these big words are hurting my head.

    No, I wouldn't.

    If you're stupid, it just isn't going to work out.

    I have before - it didn't work out. After a while it gets embarrassing and annoying.

    No. It would be extremely boring. I stopped dating an ex-navy firefighter with an AMAZING body in college for this reason alone.

    If they can't keep up on the mental playing field they are for "entertainment purposes only."

    Engaging conversation and mental stimulation is a requirement of any real relationship.
