Absolutely!
When it comes to business and economics, I'm blown away by how smart my wife is.

I screwed this up. Meant to do a poll. Hit the wrong button. Tried to delete.

But, since it's out, me too.

Yes, lady I am dating has multiple degrees.

I have found that you have to spend some time talking to them.

I had a mensa wife. When she'd start about her intellect I'd tell her, "if you have 100 feet of rope, and there's some rotten sections in there, when it comes time to use the rope, you might find you don't really have that much!"

If a man says something and a woman is not there... is he still wrong?

Dumb and fun is better than smart and crazy.

I couldn't get along with my wife if she wasn't smart. Thing is, she doesn't think she's all that smart, just smarter than me. Not hard to do.

I have come to find that I don't find a woman attractive unless I think she is smart.

In my early 20's, there was a really cute girl that I and a few friends called "The mannequin":

Nice to look at, nothing but styrofoam between the ears.

I found her attractive, but after a short conversation, was totally turned off. Even though we hung around in the same circle of friends for a while, I can't remember her real name.

If I could offer one piece of advice to the planet, it would be this: Don't marry for looks alone, and I'll tell you why. In a few years, when Barbara's boobs start sagging, she can get plastic surgery, have them lifted, move the nipple wherever. You can actually go to a titty bar, pick out a set of titties and say, "I want those titties on that woman." If her belly gets too big, she can get a tummy tuck and have a belly like a cheerleader. If her vision goes bad, you can have LASIK surgery and have 20/20 vision. If her hearing goes bad, they can install a device in her ear that will give you hearing as clear as it was the day you were born. But let me tell you something, folks: You can't fix stupid. There's not a pill you can take; there's not a class you can go to. Stupid is forever.
