Anyone happily married to a ditz? (1 Viewer)

I'm 37.  She's 26.

Beautiful Mexican chick.

She is so nice.  Like an angel.  Dresses nice.  Not so superficial.  Hard worker.

She's goofy.  Which I like.  A lot of my jokes go over her head.  But I can make her laugh.

She's like Chrissy from Three's Company.

She's great but slow on the uptake in social situations and I can't talk to her about a lot of my interests.  

Can that be enough?

 
Would drive me crazy in the end. Tried really hard to live with a dumb chick. Moved in together twice. Couldn't keep my interest. It was like living with a piece of furniture. 

 
If she truly is not the brightest, any children you have are more than likely to not be the brightest either. Learning will be harder, their opportunities less etc

As we see with diminishing returns about the voting patterns of the country the dumb are inheriting the earth. They breed more and they are easily swayed. 

Good luck and learn mandarin.

 
I just cant do it.  Not with any type of duration.

Dumb just kills me.

Case 1: "Swiss cheese, they make that in Italy." and Case 2: "I don't read. At all. Reading is for people who don't have fun and don't think."

The above two lines are recent. Real. And each was game ending.

Guess it would be a bit better then the subtle but raging psycho I just had to end it with (and this was 2 years of "I can fix it! as a friend & lover"). Or the freaking party girl I had to call it off with two weeks before because it was too embarrassing one night. Or the side punker that uses me as a weapon against her bf's - we might still talk though.  Or...

You know what, hell if I know.  Freakin' women.

I wouldn't say my soon-to-be ex is a ditz, but I have a hard time carrying on a high-level conversation with her and there are plenty of times when I say to myself, "that's just ####### stupid."  I would say the other criteria you mentioned are not enough for a happy marriage.  

 
You're calling someone you are considering marrying a ditz?

She may be deserving of that label, but if that's what you really think of her, go find someone else you'll respect more.

 
does she hold it against you that you are wrong 100 percent of the time in the basketball thread see maybe you are the ditzy one that is all i am saying take that to the glass houses throwin stones bank brohan

Have you seen the books most women read?

Sure it's enough.  Beauty is skin deep but ugly is to the bone.  Chrissy Snow still looks good 40yrs later.  Compatibility is overrated, as long as naughty time is fulfilling you can always come here if you are looking for intellectual conversation.

 
Buddy, if it works it works. Maybe you're giving something on the intellectual side, but I'm guessing you're getting something in other areas. And look it's all about your values. A woman who is good, honest, kind, loving, caring, she's beautiful, and she cares for your sorry ###? Damn straight that's a good deal. Think big picture and long haul. Good luck.

 
Couldn't do it. My wife is by no means a ditz. She isn't as intellectually curious and and informed as me and sometimes it bothers me, but she's a very hard-working, masters educated, detail-oriented task-based person. Very competent and many people seek her out for practical advice. 

Marriage is very practical. Marry someone who you think would make a great partner in life. 

 
This "match" stuff is overrated & half the reason why the artisan-porkbelly set is so blasted unhappy. Unless you are embarrassed by her, can't spend time with her without wincing inside or don't respect her enough to set goals with her, you'll be fine. I chased more complicated women than any 10 guys on this board. but the ones i'm most nostalgic about in my retirement years are the sweet ones who just wanted to love me more. Someone who's decent, fun, raises your mizzenmast & wants to be both at your side and on your side - that's a pretty good catch.

 
My wife critiques/judges/overanalyzes most everything I (or others) say.  But at least she listens now ...for many, many years, she had little interest in what I had to say.  If your nice, sweet, beautiful ditz cares for and about you ...more power to ya!  Enjoy what you've got.

Awesome advice.

 
Way back in the day (1987) I decided not to ask a girl (who had HUGE tracts of land) out because of her musical taste.   We were in her car and she said "OMG you've got to hear this great album I just bought!"  Turns out it was Rick Astley's "Whenever You Need Somebody".  She pops in the tape and "Never Gonna Give You Up" comes blaring out.  

I'd heard the song about 20 times already.  It pretty much offended every ounce of my proto-hipster, musical snobbery.   Juggs McGee Rickrolled me 30 years before it was a thing.

 
Ex wife was ditzy.  Always used the wrong words in situation, messed up phrases or cliches, spelled common words incorrectly.

Case in point.  She'd keep a list on the fridge of what we needed at the grocery store and would always spell it "tolit paper".  For years and years.  Would drive me insane.  

Last week, we were arguing about something and she texted "I'm not going to cow tail to you!".

Ugh.

YES! :lmao:

 
My wife gets really mad when I correct her.  For example when she says "It's a cat eat dog world" or "It gives me a piece of mind" and I say ""you mean dog eat dog and peace of mind", she goes ballistic on me.  So I stopped, I just let it go, and we are happy.

:lmao:   I never would have stopped.  "Baby, I'm just trying to keep you from looking stupid in front of other people."

They make it everywhere now. She was directly referring to "originated". Which is Switzerland.   :P

Uh, Swiss cheese comes from North America.  It's called Swiss cheese because it resembles a cheese from Switzerland called Emmental.  Maybe you should cut your wife a break?

 
Find a women who is content irrespective of situation. Someone who is joyful and peaceful. Strivers, critics, complainers will ruin a marriage. 

I don't mean driven (career, family goals) is bad. But does she find joy in the simple things?  Dumb or brilliant, she (and you) should know what contentment and joy feel like.

Bad move.  That land has probably 10 times it's value now.
