Sundaymorning Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I know some ppl prefer to have an equal, but I would prefer to marry someone more than my equal- someone with more business skills, etc. What do yall feel? Link to post Share on other sites
tiki Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 As long as he is good in bed, I'm sold. Kidding. I'd marry someone that I meshed with, it doesn't matter how they are. Link to post Share on other sites
Moose Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I married my exact opposite. So I guess I'm no good to ya. I'd have to say though that I prefer someone who's not as smart as me......but I married her anyway!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Taken_Angel Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I would prefer to marry someone who's at least semi-motivated to at least have a job that pays the bills w/ a little left over, someone who wants kids someday, someone who'll love me regardless, so basically someone similar to me or maybe stronger. Though as long as they are a good man nothing else matters too much. Link to post Share on other sites
tokyo Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 That´s actually an interesting question. I wouldn´t want to marry someone who is the total opposite of me, but I also wouldn´t like to marry someone who is exactly like me. I think my weaknesses are sometimes low self-confidence and I feel a bit socially inept occasionally, so it would be nice if he was better in this two field, thus I could learn a bit from him. And he will need strong nerves and be able to give me a kick occasionally when I get too moody or because I feel low. If he´s also nice and patient with me I´d do anything for him Your questions leaves people out who are looking for a weaker partner. If one of the two is stronger, the other one must be weaker, But obviously this is not something people are striving for, a weaker partner. In the long run most relationships probably can´t exist if the imbalance is too big, two people who are walking with different paces through life just don´t make a good couple. If you are weaker in one field, you will have to be stronger in some other field in order to attract your partner. A rational intellectual might feel attracted to a woman who is less intelligent but possesses a sensuality that he lacks. A messy person might want to be with someone who keeps things neat and tidy and he might like some anarchistic and chaotic element in his life. One´s weakness might be also be one´s strength that attracts someone else, it depends on how you look at it. I don´t think that most people will feel attracted to someone whom they seriously consider to be inferior to themselves in all fields. Link to post Share on other sites

brandx Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I think Kooky is on the right track here, although it is going to be different for everyone. Plain and simple, if I ever get married again, I want to be with someone with whom I make a good team. Someone who is my best friend. Where we have similar goals, morals, and attitudes on life. Not all of these things mean we have to be the same, opposite, or whetever, but I want a 1+1=3 sort of thing. Brand X Link to post Share on other sites
HokeyReligions Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 IF I ever got married again - they would have to have a proven successful financial record. I could stomach Donald Trump as long as there wasn't a pre-nup! (I think I'd slip him some seconal and cut his hair on the wedding night though!) Link to post Share on other sites
