She’s Pretty, Got a Great Body, But She’s as Dumb as a Rock

By: Kerryj1

In the past six months I’ve been invited to five weddings and all of the couples had met over the Internet. I was intrigued because there wasn’t any such thing available when I was looking. The world was so much smaller then. I made a point to ask each couple about their experience with this new world of dating. They each told stories of church socials, blind dates, bar hopping, meat lockers and mother’s choice. In most cases they turned to the Internet as a last resort and without much hope for success an in all cases without telling their mother.

They all subscribed to an online match making service and sorted through hundreds of potentials to find each other. This all sounds great and highly efficient until I asked the couples to give an account of how the process worked for them.

Each of their stories was different but all followed the same basic story line. The story goes like this; “We entered our data, searched the data base for likely matches, contacted the best prospects by email, talked on the phone, then met for coffee or a drink.� With each step the field of possible matches diminished. The first step give heavy weight to the picture, the statistics, the likes and dislikes, the past material status, with or without children, and current employment. Then it turned to vibes; do they sound good, look good, feel good, are they comfortable?

The deal breakers fall in three categories. 1. They lied on their profile. 2. Their personality is not what I’m looking for. 3. They look good on paper, sound good on the phone, but intellectually it’s not a fit. What makes Internet match making tough is that once you get to the drink or coffee stage it can get very uncomfortable, very time consuming and even threatening. The more information that can be gathered up front the more palatable the procedure can be.

There may be an answer for deal breaker #3. There’s a new website, SmartestofUS.com, which is administering a free IQ test then gives you a SUS Score (SmartestofUS Score). Your user name then appears in a ranking of all test takers. An Individual Intelligence Profile that gives a detailed evaluation of strengths and weakness in the seven intelligence skills tested is available for a small fee.

What if everyone who subscribed to a match making service were asked to enter their SUS Score and their SUS username, maybe even their areas of strength and weakness? Now before you make contact with a possibility you can determine if their intelligence is a match with your level of intelligence. In the long haul the SUS Score could be the most important piece of information that you gather when deciding on the person that you’re going to spend the rest of your life with.

The pretty face will go without some expensive surgical assistance, and the figure will disappear but the brain will stay and in old age an intellectual conversation and common areas of interest is what keeps the marriage together.

Start asking for a SUS Score, if enough people ask for it the SUS Score will become part of the match making application. It might even start showing up on job applications, what an idea.
