I just thought she would have chosen a man more her equal mentally . I asked her mother and all her mother can do is cry , so go figure .

We've broken two beds and ripped seventeen sets of sheets to shreds. Our sex life is so magnificent that it makes angels weep with envy, so incredible that Cirque Soleil is thinking of doing a Vegas show based on how we do the humpalumpadingdong every night and three times on Saturday. And it doesn't hurt that his industrial grade love sausage reaches me in places that you'd never dream possible. So to hell with the fact that he couldn't work the crossword puzzle in TV Guide if his life depended on it. The guy knows how to put the wood to me."

Hope that explains matters. And her mother likely cries because she isn't getting it like that anymore.

We would expect nothing less than the answer you gave.


Toxic pride is putrid.

Presuming/assuming--> is never a good way to accurately gauge another person's intelligence quotient.

Like with so many truly brilliant men who have walked the face of this planet, Albert Einstein was known for great proficiency in some areas, and very low proficiency in others.

You will find a lot of 'pie holes' out there that actually believe they know it all. They are very easy to recognize. They are arse hole schmucks, who possess a few measley degrees and never let anyone forget it. The real brains don't usually make a show of their degrees or intelligence. Oftentimes, their degrees end up hidden away in some dark desk drawer somewhere-- only to be utilized when absolutely necessary. Pretentiousness is hardly ever found in the ones who have the greatest minds. They have no time or space for such nonsense in their lives!

Bottom line: Don't be one of those pie holes/schmucks! Get to know the guy at a deeper, more intimate level. Then, and only then, will you be able to make an accurate assessment of his intellect.

So do you have an issue with the joke I made or the OP?

And you got 3 medals?!?!? I should get 1 medal at least!!! Maybe this guy is good with his hands? Maybe he's very artistic? I'm sure he has other attributes that appeal to her. I'm sure he isn't a bum who decided to not be anything in his life. You can still be very talented and intelligent without having to know how to read and write.
