Would you rather marry for brains, or for looks?

While intelligence is more highly inherited through the mother...

"Older, outdated research found important intelligence genes on the X-chromosome. Females have two ‘X’ chromosomes (XX) and males have an X and a Y chromosome(XY). While the X-chromosome has been shown to be linked to brain development, that does not equate to intelligence. No recent studies have found key intelligence genes on the X-chromosome explicitly."

I ve seen those studies, there used to be a time (circa up until 2018) when it was believed it was almost entirely inherited by the mother, which never made sense from an evolutionnary standpoint. At least it turns out it might be more or less equal from the current state or researches.

Looks, personality, brain. (I doubt intelligence and personality will matter to most people if the looks are unattractive, doesn't have to be "hot" but at least decent looking)

intelligence, looks, personality
I won’t be able to coexist with a halfwit for long even if he’s the most gorgeous or kind man in the universe

1. Personality
2. Looks
3. Brains

While majority of intelligence is polygenically inherited (not solely through the X-linked inheritance), maternal IQ does predict IQ of children whether it’s thought the inheritable or environmental factors research is not clear. So if you want intelligent children, choose an intelligent wife.

as people get older the 1st thing to change the most is looks.
If a young guy marries a woman mostly because she is beautiful in a sense a good handbag as they say, 10 years later she can have lost her figure
looks can change a lot and maybe he doesn't even get along with her and then realises oh shit mostly was just in love with her looks but not much more.

I was having coffee with my freind and he pointed to a another table where sat an over weight woman dressed in tracksuit and he said to me I bet you that is Marika.

Now Marika was a Hungarian girl we mutually knew but had not seen for about 10 years when she was in her early 20's.
Back then the early twenties Marika was an absolute stunner and was very fashionable dresser and basically was a head turner.

My first reaction to my friend was I said "no way', that can not be her.
Then he gets up goes to the other table talks to her and calls me over.
Sure enough he was right it was Marika but after a chat with her we learned she had been through a messy divorce and was now suffering from depression etc. Anyway long story short that previously beautiful young woman in a space of 10 to 15 years had completly let herself go and lost her looks and put on lots of weight.

Peoples looks will change over time , so for marriage emphasis just on or mostly on the looks is not best idea if other qualities like getting along with her, that she has good character for you and is reliable and will make a good mother and homemaker. To me those other qualities are very important for a marriage.
Marriage is different to a girlfriend that may or may not last. If you take Marriage seriously and plan on having children your in it for the long haul you gotta be able to get along in 20 years still and longer. Brains also is over rated , intelectualism is one thing but for living a life , practical sensibility is often more relevent.

The last thing you wanna do is marry a narcissist or Primadonna Princess unless your ok with constant headaches.

And another thing.

Dont marry some Bimbo who cant cook.
Good food is very important, try to Marry a woman who is a good cook.

And not some feminist type that says she expects you to cook or take her out for dinner for the rest of your life.

Ive met some these new age guys that told me they do all the cooking at home because there wife cant or wont ,
and you think to yourself man maybe the wife f-cks him up the Butt with a big strap on too.

Im not a bad cook, I do some very nice dishes occasionally but Im lucky to have a wife who is very good cook.

If you say looks, you are retarded. I don't like to use that word too lightly, but seriously.
