Would
you like your spouse to be smarter and more attractive than you? In some ways he already
is, although I'm smarter in some things. I think we complement each other. At our ages,
looks aren't as important. Neither of us was bad looking in our younger days.

He already is.

I'd like my spouse to be in the same
intelligence range as I am, since that vastly simplifies communication. As for more
attractive, that is several items down the list, after kindness, integrity, and other
intangibles.
Jane, 62

It would be Ok if he was a bit smarter and
more attractive than me, but not too much. Then I think I would be insecure.
Janet, 44
E. Brunswick, NJ USA
Looks have never really mattered
that much to me, but I don't know if I could bear to be
around someone smarter than me for the rest of my life. Intelligence is way important, but
I don't want someone who rubs it in my face. Being able to have an intelligent
conversation with my partner is probably the most important thing. Intelligence is sexy.
And if you're smart, I know you won't walk out in front of a bus...

Too late...I think he already is!
Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA
Well...I'm not married anymore, but if I
were to remarry (which I doubt) I would pretty much like my spouse to be my equal in
intelligence and looks.

My spouse IS more attractive than me. I am
smarter, but not by much. So, realistically, I could care less whether my spouse is
smarter OR more attractive as long as we get along and love one another.

Overland Park, KS USA
No, I would not like to know if she was
smarter than I. I believe a mairage is a union between two. Whatever she is she is. Just
as long as we can agree to have a simmilar value structure. A woman can be beautiful in
many ways. I can't judge that.
Christopher, 28
San Mateo, CA
USA
I'm pretty sure she is, but then
it's pretty hard to judge, what with the whole hetero
thing and all.
Alias Irrelevante
I think smarter. I don't consider myself
bright but more street smart. And you can't really get anywhere and not have some
brains or someone to help that does.
Stephanie, 25
TX USA
He is both. If he were any smarter they'd
have to lock him up somewhere... and as for the attractive thing, it's all in the eye of
the beholder anyway... so it doesn't really matter.
Fisch, 47
Preston, CT
USA
About the looks, it doesn't matter. Outward
appearance isn't important to me as long as the person isn't downright ugly. I married my
husband because when you look in the dictionary under "good", you will find
Bill's picture. I don't know about the smart part. Bill is smarter than me in many
respects but I have more 'street smarts' (common sense) than him which makes me seem
smarter.
Reba, 50+
Silver Spring, MD USA
He already is.
Laura, 37
Lowell, MA

Smarter yes, more attractive i dont
care.
Talia, 25

Why would I have any right to wish my spouse
more or less intelligent or attractive than he is? Why would I limit his character to
enhance mine?
Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA
I wouldn't mind either as long as they were
not accompanied by arrogance or cruelty. Strange though, I would mind a spouse much less
attractive and much less intelligent than myself. I very much believe in finding others
who are at my own level.
Felicia, 36
Lowell, MA
USA
Probably more attractive than me
Brad, 21
Sydney AUSTRALIA
Not like
excessively so, but yes a bit. But it's ok if he's not.
Triana, 29
Austin, TX
USA
I think a marriage of equals is always a
good thing... but if she loves me, then I suppose it doesn't really matter.
Jeremy, 14
Highlands Ranch, CO USA
No, and no. I have to be as much as a
challenge to my spouse. I feel like my boyfriend and I are well-matched in both
departments. I don't feel like any one of us is intellectually superior to the other. As
for looks, I think he's the handsomest guy in the world, and he thinks I'm the prettiest
girl he's ever seen. That's all that matters. He's probably in reality a snot-covered
ogre, and I'm a crusty old hag.
Cancer, 20
NYC, NY
USA
I can
only hope so.
Ryan, 29
Morton, IL
USA
I would
like my spouse to be on more or less the same level as me as far as intelligence goes, but
would not mind if they were more attractive. I would not want them to be excessively
attractive, though. But for them to be a little more attractive would be great.
