If my wife is going to be legally my equal, she MUST be intellectually my equal. If my wife is stupid, I must be legally enabled to protect her from her own stupidity, otherwise to marry her is suicide.
I really wish we were back in the time when women can't make any important decisions it's way too much stress I WISH my dad just kept making all my decisions and I hope that when I get married my husband will just take care of everything
>>84300171You don't want an "intellectual" woman. I have dated numerous highly intelligent women and they were all evil nihilistic narcissistic materialists. When a man has an extremely high level of intelligence, he starts pondering the nature of reality and has constant internal turmoil about what it means to be alive. Many intellectual men become religious to some degree in order to ascertain truth.Intellectual women always become nihilistic materialistic with narcissistic tendencies, at least the ones I have known. They boil reality down to cause and effect and chemical reactions, often becoming hedonistic pleasure seekers. Even though it's a garbage show, The Queen's Gambit is a good example, where the protagonist becomes an alcoholic whore because she's so detached from the world.
>this distrustwhy look for wife then?
>>84300192I'm wondering what do you consider to be the signs of being intelligent
>>84300213These women were professionals in STEM. I have posted about it before on 4chan. Young (20-26 years old) physicists, cancer researchers, published authors. Things like that. Well-read, calculating, and extremely hedonistic and materialistic (as in philosophically). Their intellectual capacity always allowed them to reason their way out of responsibility or self-control, resulting in seemingly erratic and self-destructive behaviour that was actually extremely reasoned and calculated.When nothing matters and you have already achieved high status (multiple degrees, wealthy family background, published research) there's nothing else to do but seek pleasure and sensual fulfillment.
>>84300183Nobody said you have to make important decisions independently of your husband. But you should absolutely listen to his advice before doing anything that affects both spouses because he *should* have a right to a voice in a joint decision. Unfortunately this is very much an honor system thing because there is zero (0) legal protection for your husband if you abuse him, and I for one am going to put off marriage until I am sure I can trust you with my life.>>84300208Because I want my children to have a stable functional nuclear family instead of being raised by a retarded harpie who keeps them from me.>>84300213Not him but what set this off is a conversation I had with some womeme about religion, where I told her I cannot see myself believing anything without knowing why. (I am religious, and I got there through rational skepticism, I know why I believe it.) She told me she is perfectly okay with her blind faith and that she can just kind of feel that something is right. That is not intelligence to me, that is impressionability and I do NOT want the wrong people making any impressions on my wife unless she is capable of second guessing it. In our legal system, I am totally helpless to protect her if she falls in with Scientology or some shit.
>>84300250>Because I want my childrenwhy think about kids if you're afraid of getting fucked in your life?>I am religious, and I got there through rational skepticismexplain, what do you mean by "I am religious">I am totally helpless to protect her if she falls in with Scientology or some shitare cults that common in wherever you live? common enough to worry about it, I mean
>>84300192>I have dated numerous highly intelligent women and they were all evil nihilistic narcissistic materialists.That's your problem. I have seen plenty of intelligent women who simply has no life whatsoever other than doing research.
>>84300268Not him, but "cults" are extremely common and not always religious. Political "movements" like MAGA, BLM, et cetera genuinely function like cults with a power structure and isolation techniques.
>>84300270Women like this are impossible to meet because they don't exist outside of the lab. Even then, it's easy for a hedonistic, nihilistic, materialistic woman to just download Tinder and get railed by three guys in one night. This isn't the fifties. These women can, and will, fuck all their colleagues as well.
>>84300274>Political "movements" like MAGA, BLM, et cetera genuinely function like cults with a power structure and isolation techniques.I am asking about that too. Half of my family and former acquaintances has some political views or opinions but the support ends on just voting. I've never got to know anybody who ruined his life over any ideology, so I'm curious how common it is outside of Poland, where I've lived.
>>84300280that turned into regular /r9k/ posting very fast
>>84300301It's really common in Anglo countries. That's why it's a meme in English speaking countries to have arguments on holidays with your relatives about politics. Even in my own family (Australian), my uncles basically disowned my mother and grandmother because they (mother and grandmother) refused to get the jab during COVID like 5 years ago and they still haven't forgiven them. Even when we tried to bridge the gap, they rejected us and basically told my mother to go fuck off and die. Most families have a situation like this, I would argue.
>>84300313This is just my personal experience. I'm in my thirties and have dated probably close to or over 100 women (yes, it was that easy in the early 2010s), and a large number of those women were intellectuals, career professionals, et cetera, and basically all of those women were extremely nihilistic and materialistic, and often exhibited extreme hostility towards men they perceived as nerdy or intelligent (likely due to bullying) and had an extreme preference for men significantly less intelligent than themselves.
>>84300335>Even in my own family (Australian), my uncles basically disowned my mother and grandmother because they (mother and grandmother) refused to get the jab during COVID like 5 years ago and they still haven't forgiven them. Even when we tried to bridge the gap, they rejected us and basically told my mother to go fuck off and die.I see. Now OP's worries seem well founded. I wasn't sure about that before.
>>84300301Specifically in the USA political party is a core part of most people's identity. Picrel is 95% of Americans. Covid disagreements completely shredded my extended family for good, led by the women.>>84300268>why think about kidsBecause anything I do impacts them, including whether their mother fucks me up, and the worst thing that can happen for the kids is for the parents to split. If I did not want kids I would go fuck hookers, and I probably will when I reach wizardry.>explainWhile I grew up catholic, I eventually wanted to know why I was there in the first place, and ended up orthodox where my distrusting brain has never been able to poke a hole in any of the theology. I do not feel God as this sky daddy figure, but I am rationally convinced that he has a handle on running things
>>84300359Even though I think my uncles are wrong, I completely understand their reasoning. From their perspective, refusing the mRNA jab was tantamount to murder, basically my mother and grandmother saying "we are okay with other people dying because we are scared of needles". That's not the reality, but that is how they perceive reality, and they live far enough away that they can just pretend we don't exist or that we are evil conspiracy theorists who hate babies or something.It just is what it is, and it's extremely common.
