Women, Here’s The Only Question That Matters On A First Date

Over the weekend, somebody posted an interesting prompt for discussion on Twitter. The question posed is: what might you ask on a first date to determine someone's IQ? I had a suggestion that got a lot of people upset.

I met my husband at the laundry room because he happened to be carrying a book in his hand and we got to talking about the book. We moved the conversation to his apartment and he showed me his book collection. He told me about his favorite books, a lot of them about history and the understanding of the mind and why humans do the things they do. Then we moved onto my apartment and I showed him my book collection ☺️ we were fascinated with each other from the very beginning and had much to talk about. We got married a couple of years after meeting each other ☺️

I don't want a woman to help me work on my car. I want a woman who gives me a reason to make it run.

My advice for dating:
1. Have outlined non negotiable expectations
2. Make sure you meet your own qualifications
3. Be honest and forthcoming with your date
4. Date to get married

I find a lack of curiosity a major turn-off.

I told my daughter to look for a husband with common values and goals but NOT common interests. He should also have a good heart. That's it.

I'm older and married now, but my IQ question was, "Do you watch Jersey Shore?" If the answer was yes, there was no second date.

If she watches The Kardashians or The View, it's an automatic "NO".

My last girlfriend had zero interest in history and I was on a WW1 kick but on our 4th or 5th date she wanted to “Netflix and chill”, but told me to get there around noon. She actually went to the library to rent, and then bought a few other multiple hour long documentaries all about WW1. It was like 16 hours worth and she kept asking me questions about stuff too. Hands down one of the best dates I’ve had

I am married and i was not looking for an intellectual guy, but someone who was wise. There are too many intellectual fools out there. Even if he wasn't smart, I wanted him to have wisdom. I forget what questions I asked him, but i would watch him when he was around his parents, siblings and other women and how he treated people in general. A moral and wise person is what I wanted. Words are words, actions are much more important. My husband ended up being extremely smart (he is a mathematician and a scientist), whereas I am nothing remotely close. But he never ever makes me feel stupid. He is kind, thinks things over very carefully (he didn't know basic things like how to cook, garden, work on house or a car, but I knew those things). He attentively listens and allows me to teach him things and vice versa. He is not easily convinced or swayed by things. He is very wise and such a wonderful tenderhearted husband. He chose me even though i was not smart. Intellect can easily be lost on a fool, but a wise person, though they are currently not smart, will quickly gain intellect once given the information. I choose wisdom, morality and kindness from the heart over intellect and beauty.

On my second date with my husband, he spent 20 minutes explaining the Ottoman siege of Vienna to me and how the battle of Helms Deep in LOTR is loosed based upon it. That's when I knew he was a real keeper.

all they need to ask is 'what are your pronouns?' and if they say anything other than 'I don't believe in that nonsense' move on

Arrogance and ignorance is a bad combination.

The only question you need to ask is 'what is a woman?'

As a 73 year old man with a very intelligent wife it is becoming harder to find interesting people to converse with. It seems fewer people are reading books so all they know about is talking point headlines.

Most men just want a traditional woman.

My deceased husband ruined me for any other man. No one could ever fill his shoes. In fact, I asked him to marry me! His secret? He waited for me to make the first move for everything. I always felt safe and cherished. The only exception--he left this life first 😢

As a history nerd, my eyes would pop out of my skull like in an old cartoon if I was unironically asked that on a date.

People are making dating and marriage more complicated than it actually is. As someone who's been married for 25 years, here's some advice that's honest and true. And free:

1. When you're seeing someone new, make sure you find out on your FIRST DATE if you both want children and both want to get married. Those two things are NON-NEGOTIABLE. Never ever start a relationship with someone who doesn't want children or wants to get married if you want both of those things and hope that they'll change their minds at some point. I don't care how charming they are or how they seem to be the only one who can understand you. I promise you, they are NOT the right one for you. Why are you wasting your time?? And if you are, that's on you and shows that you're hesitant about making a commitment.

2. From the time you go on your first date to the day you get married should not be more than two years, unless you're both under 18. Again, what are you waiting for? What can you possibly know more about each other?

3. Never ever compromise your own values to fit into the other person. You either both accept each other as you are, or move on. Something which may annoy you may not bother someone else. And vice versa.

Date with a purpose. The end goal is marriage and a life together. It's up to you to make it happen.
