Thanks for your response. But the question was for you, I can see how it would be a completely different dynamic for a female. To answer you. She was pretty, she was happy, she had a wonderful energy about her, she really did light up the room As an older guy now I would envy her parents for having such a beam of sunlight for a child. But then I was younger, the girl’s age and was dating a girl with a degree, issues and an awful attitude. So I think it fair to ask, a happy well adjusted person but not intelligent or a neurotic, unhappy person with a phd and a boatload of issues? And I think the answer is clear if those are your only choices. Again many not be so easy from a female perspective. Would it be ethical? Is it any less ethical than finding yourself with someone who although very intelligent is an emotional trainwreck? Would it necessarily be unhealthy or dysfunctional to have a wife who is a bit less intelligent than average? It might be a challenge to be married to someone who is happy and well adjusted but cant add double digit numbers, but a blind person would offer challenges, or a deaf person, do you automatically see dating any handicapped person as inherently unethical or somehow sick or some form of taking advantage? Isn’t it possible these people have something to offer?
