So I’m looking for a 43 year old dim witted Aucklander…

According to a recent study, the happiest and longest marriages are made when three things align:
1. the male is five years older than the female
2. the woman is 27% more intelligent than the male
3. you have the same cultural background.
Guess that’s going to narrow the field a little right? Perhaps I should put it on an internet dating site to see if it narrows the field a little…..
imagine: “wanted a 43 year old dumb arse who grew up on the North Shore.”
Actually I’ve always found five years is a good gap. The rest? Well I like men who are intelligent and clever and thinkers. I’m not sure I’d ever want to feel I was cleverer than them- I’d like to think it was an equal partnership. And while I agree that shared cultural backgrounds can help, that doesn’t mean it needs to be that you grew up in the same city. It’s about that congruency between shared beliefs and values, and how you see yourself in terms of your family and friends.
I’d love to know what you think makes a good match?

Hehe, my partner is 5 years older than me, grew up in the same city and I am EXACTLY 27% more intelligent than him
At least in the fact that women are always that bit smarter than men
