I suspect that smart women are more likely to have careers that take up a lot of their time, are less likely to want to have kids, and just generally don't see what's in it for them. Along that line, I think smart women are more likely to focus on their careers (than other women) b/c that's (likely) been the part of their lives that's been nurtured/encouraged/reinforced by others from when they're very young (their intellect, ambitions & choices) & people tend to lean toward what works for them in their lives. Men aren't the focus - they're great but they're not the be all end all of our lives, making us even more choosy... Kids can wait... the older we get the fewer choices we have of available men, making marriage even more difficult than it already is (finding a suitable partner, someone who's not intimidated by you, your career, your income, your independence). It's a whole cylcle... . [Edited 1/3/05 23:20pm] Co-sign, you stated your opinions very well, and I agree with what you said.  RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

The Love excuse is lame because just because you are supposedly in love with someone does not mean you have to marry them. There are millions of people who are in love and never get married. Marriage is not needed.It's not important. And i would question the intelligence of anyone who got married at 18. A smart, independant, confident woman would not
And anyone who believe's in having a soulmate are the same people who dream about and want to get married. You need a reality check and prove the report right. A smart, independant, confident woman is not going to grow up believing those myths. Women watch too many soap operas.lol | |

Women watch too many soap operas.lol are you talking to me? i do'nt believei n soulmates myself, but the term was used so i utilized it. intelligent peopel can be naive and not be stupid. youth is not the same as uninteliigence. i do agree with you that you don't HAVE to get married, but does that mean that because someone DOES get married that they are somehow less intelligent for it?? you said it. a smart independent confident woman...not jstu a smart woman. and many at that age are not so independent or confident. that doesn't lessen their IQ, but it will probably teach them a valuable lesson for later in life. BTW I personally ahve never watched soap operas. if you weren't talking to me, oh well. tough shit. | |

cuntroversial said: XxAxX said: i think smart women are more likely to use birth control, which is a major preventative to marriage.
also, smart women tend to pursue higher education and after that, careers. marriage can be a good thing for womean, but overwhelmingly it means an extra burden in terms of housework, plus the usual full-time job. things have changed since our mothers' generation, when getting married meant staying home with the kids. now marriage means working full time at a job and working full time in the home. imo there's nothing wrong with defining intimate relationships on one's own terms. it's possible to have a supportive, mutually beneficial long term relationship without 'getting married' from most of your posts i've read, xxaxx...i think i'm in love LOL i actually agree with someone on most points! amazing.   oooo! wanna git married?*

CalhounSquare, XxAxX and Tackam made the statements that follow most closely to my own beliefs as well.
Agreed, also, that the concept of "soulmate" is somewhat silly. No offense, just don't believe in it. When I think of soulmate I think of fate or destiny or whatever, and I don't believe in either of those. Fairy tales. I think there are many fabulous people in the world you could possibly choose to work out a relationship with, not just one. Maybe that's why I don't believe I'll ever get married. Or it could just be my IQ. |

Or it could just be my IQ. i absolutely agree with the exception of hte not getting married part. I do think at this point in my life if somethign were to go terribly wrong again and i were to get divorced i would never remarry though. but the rest is dead on for me. | |
