From my mom: If in a couple there is a wide intellectual imbalance, it is not going to last long. Whether it is intelligence or curiosity or culture.

- strikelaserclaw 4y agoi think the most important thing for a couple to have in common is values.
- prettyStandard 4y agoSince you're on this site, sounds like your mom doesn't want you going after beautiful dummies. My mom told me she saw lots of beautiful dumb girls marry successful men, and then their kids were dumb as bricks. Also to be careful with dating short women because then your boys might be short. I said okay well then by that logic you don't want to date tall women either because you might have tall girls.
