ob I know of cases where very well-educated, successful and economically independent women deliberately chose to "marry down", that is, to men "less smarter" than themselves.
mollybaby I will leave it up to you to view the previous blog: “The Intellectual and the Intelligent” to determine the answer to your question yourself.
Nidifugous Thanks for the semantics exercise. Re: "there is no such thing as an act of marriage", My words are: "the actual act of getting married", not "an act of marriage". To become married, one must go through the action(act) of getting married. At least, that is how I see I and this is what I am referring to.
Ken Thanks for your comment. I believe I have elaborated on the question quite clearly in my response to Nidifugous. In what way is it loaded? Remember, I am asking it based on a specific comment by a blogger which I have mentioned.
Nidifugous Thanks for your input. I agree with you that it may not be a wise idea to get married in the situations you have mentioned.
However, the focus of my question: "Is there a relationship between being intelligent and getting married?" is on being intelligent and the actual act of getting married.
The question is being asked based on the blogger's comment that I have mentioned. (The issue is not who one should marry, but on the act of getting married itself.)
lou I think that you are a very intelligent woman who knows what she wants and does not want, and I respect and admire you for that. You do not appear to be interested in "capturing a man" which my blog commenter uses as a measure of intelligence. Best Regards!
Here is some information from the profile of the person who sent me the email that I quoted:

1to1to1 Thaanks for your answer! Ed mentioned that he also "won millions" but I do not think it was based on a notification in his CS mailbox like mine was. This is the first time I received such a notice in my CS mailbox. Some previous CS emails requested me to send money instead. I wonder if there are any others CS folks who have received such a notice, informing them that they won millions, in their CS mailboxes.
I am happy to know that some companies in Canada have gotten into trouble for selling personal information about their customers/clients to other companies. Personally, I think this situation may be very widespread.
Smart Does using Gmail as ID(for a big company) make a difference? I have had several requests from unknown individual persons with yahoo email addresses requesting me to contact them at those addresses. Of course, I just delete those messages immediately.
The life force permeates the greatest depths of our being down to its very core. It is deeper than our genetic and biological makeup. It is that force or energy that permeates each cell of every living body. We may be different genetically but we all possess that same life force or perhaps that force possesses us. It is independent of time and space, and by extension, history and geography.
Personal differences due to variations in our socialization or environment are secondary since, at the core, we are all manifestations of the same life force.
Redemption of the life force is the rediscovery and realization of its essence as the very core of our being.
Benny First time I am seeing you! Welcome! "societies have conditioned men to be logical and women feelings oriented" I agree with your statement. Some may argue that it is not just social conditioning but that it is also because of women's genetic makeup that they are more feelings oriented. Traditionally, women had a greater role in child rearing whereby they were more emotionally sensitive to the needs of the child.
Angel "I choose to follow my head. Not my heart!" You are entitled to your choice, even though it may seem to differ from that expressed by other women. At least, you avoid following your emotions blindly as some do, and they are more likely to end up in heartache.
Minerva Your view is a commonly held notion. Is logic and intuition necessarily separate from each other? Couldn't there be intuitive logic? Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician philosopher said: "The heart has reasons that reason does not know"
All frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum can be present together and occupy the same space simultaneously. This is demonstrated by the presence of frequencies from the various radio and television stations being present in space. We can select a particular station by tuning in our radio or television receiver to its frequency which enables us to receive its broadcast only.
A band of frequencies constitute a dimension or universe. There are a multiple number of dimensions, meaning that there are multiple universes. Each dimension has its own specific frequencies and wavelengths. Our consciousness is normally tuned in to the 3rd dimension. However, life in the universe is not limited to the 3rd dimension; it is just that we cannot see the other realities that exist, because those realities have different frequencies and wavelengths that do not correspond to our 3D senses. Therefore, our physical existence on Earth is simply one of many infinite realities in the “Multidimensional Universe.”
I believe that when we die, our consciousness, soul, spirit or whatever, enters into a different dimension with a different frequency or vibration from that which we can normally feel or sense in ordinary day-to-day life. If someone is able to tune in to that frequency range, he/she may receive messages or signals from those who have "died" and entered that dimension. This is similar to the reception of broadcasts from various radio stations or television channels, where we need to tune in to the operating frequency of a particular station or channel.
Those signals are always present in what is referred to as the "ether" around us. In fact, the ether is loaded with signals of different frequencies or dimensions. I think that certain people like a “medium” in a séance, or a shaman, may be able to tune in to those other frequencies or dimensions, and to communicate with others who exist in those dimensions. It is also possible that such communication may occur through "dreams", and strange, mysterious and "unnatural" experiences.

louThanks for your "woman's perspective" on ob's comment.
I certainly would like to know what others, especially women, think of ob's comment,
