- Over the weekend, somebody posted an interesting prompt for discussion on Twitter. The question posed is: what might you ask on a first date to determine someone's IQ? I had a suggestion that got a lot of people upset.

I don't want a woman to help me work on my car. I want a woman who gives me a reason to make it run.
that's deep
It’s always fun to hand your man tools or a beer while you shoot the breeze together about your day
I’d probably just do it for fun because I love building but I can see your pov
You can't live your life with a sense of fulfillment if you don't have a relationship with a women?
I love this ❤
I'm older and married now, but my IQ question was, "Do you watch Jersey Shore?" If the answer was yes, there was no second date.
Hmm...I'm married with two kids. And I watched the Jersey shore religiously but also have a masters in Linguistics, love reading on Latin American Despots and Queen Isabel and the discovery of the America's from 1492 until Columbus' 3rd voyage.
Just saying. Matt's question would have gotten my good response while yours would have gotten you a negative one without inquiring the other.
My dad’s dating advice was to ask to go to a steakhouse, and if the guy ordered his steak cooked anything more than medium rare, then I should dump him immediately 😂😂
I'd ask about "reality" TV
What is Jersey Shore? I've heard of it but could only guess that it is a TV show.
This is a VERY good litmus test. I suggest any young man to use this test.
'A man is looking for a woman, not another dude.' - A Wise Man
What does that mean?
@jennilynmae It means competing with men and trying to replace them isn't the right answer.
Of course division is always good for politicians.
Divide and conquer.
If you would like to learn more, look up the anti-suffrage movement and learn why the majority of women at the turn of the 20th century opposed the 19th amendment.
That's the problem with feminist women today. They're caricatures of men.
If men wanted to date men, we'd be gay.
Gay men don't want to date a caricature, they want the real think.
Feminism has turned women into something nobody wants.
@@jimh527 Interesting. Any book recommendations?
Plot twist: Hes gay
I met my husband at the laundry room because he happened to be carrying a book in his hand and we got to talking about the book. We moved the conversation to his apartment and he showed me his book collection. He told me about his favorite books, a lot of them about history and the understanding of the mind and why humans do the things they do. Then we moved onto my apartment and I showed him my book collection ☺️ we were fascinated with each other from the very beginning and had much to talk about. We got married a couple of years after meeting each other ☺️
Nice story. 👏🏼 Rare luck for sure
What a wonderful meet-cute and story! I'm so happy for you both.
@@jayskade8350 I don’t think anyone who gets married plans to divorce
@@jayskade8350 but if I had to choose a date, probably sometime in the fall to give myself plenty of time to work out and get in really good shape before dating again the following summer.
@@pamjones7426 thank you ☺️ I love our story! He was so old school, he invited me on a date to drink tea and talk about books 🤣 I loved it!
I find a lack of curiosity a major turn-off.
Like someone who's immediately incurious if your area of interest isn't history?
@@adams.1404 It doesn't have to be. I'm an electrical engineer myself, but certain moments in History are just general culture. Like the fall of the Roman empire, for example. Or the Christian reconquest of Iberia. Or the American revolution. Those are pivotal moments for Western Civilization. You can't understand who you are without understanding those moments. Thus, every Westerner should at least have some minimal knowledge about them.
@@Squodgamullis Ahhh don’t even think about it.
Good point I find most people lack curiosity and the desire to question everything in order to drive learning.
and that eliminates 96% of women (and men)
My advice for dating:
1. Have outlined non negotiable expectations
2. Make sure you meet your own qualifications
3. Be honest and forthcoming with your date
4. Date to get married
If 4, then 1-3 make sense. But many people do not date to get married, they date to get sex.
@@richatlarge462 which is the point of marriage
Nailed it!
I gotta break your rule #2 as I'm not a friend of Dorothy. (These UA-cam word filters are awful.)
@@richatlarge462that's the point he is making to date is the pursuit to get married not fornicate.
all they need to ask is 'what are your pronouns?' and if they say anything other than 'I don't believe in that nonsense' move on
I think that immediately implies you believe in preferred pronouns, which is gonna turn THEM off and make them leave right then and there.
@ytfeelslikenorthkorea And if they go to use the bathroom and just leave because you asked that question? What then?
@@Terragato The question needs to be asked with a facial expression that says, "I dont believe this nonsense".
Or rather the better question should be, "Do you have your pronouns in your bio, because I don't?"
I think if I asked that question, I would get blocked by a decent guy and not get a second chance.
But then they think you're a lib for asking
I told my daughter to look for a husband with common values and goals but NOT common interests. He should also have a good heart. That's it.
I think some common interests can be good but not all. A note of what Matt said, I believe that the man should ask about the woman's hobbies if she don't have any hobbies or just interested in gossiping about Kardashians or other celebrities it's a red flag.
Good advice.
Yep great advice!
I agree. No way to raise children without common values - they will nail you. And no reason to stay with someone who does not share your goals because in the long run he/she will evolve in a different direction. As for common interests, I am somewhat hesitant - in some cases it might be helpful (e.g. both being more interested in sports than art), in most cases not - even in a couple everyone has to have HIS own thing. Anyway, you put it very nicely.
Great advice.
All I’m looking for is a guy with zero social media presence.
They're more common than women who aren't on social media, in my experience. But that's a good thing to look for.
When I quit social media in 2020, it was a net positive in my life. And now I have to go back to sell novels. I didn't miss it, not once. Trust me when I say I am not looking forward to it.
That’s pretty common, more so at your age. For w0men not so much
Yes!
Sounds good, I think it's a good idea. You are probably not interested in "celebrities". Some celebrities post on social media as a matter of principle -- being a celebrity is very important to them.
I've never been on social media, yet women tell me that's a red flag. I'll admit, I've missed out on quite a few potential dates because of it. Women don't want to give out their phone numbers these days. It's always "what's your insta". Yuck.

Arrogance and ignorance is a bad combination.
Unfortunately is also extremely common.
The worst combination, I'd add.
I can hang with a person who's ignorant yet honest and humble about their limited knowledge, and I can even stand someone who's a little arrogant given that they have enough depth to their character to still be interesting. People who understand so little about things they confidently think they are adept in are insufferable and in some cases, dangerous.
And a very common one.
Try communicating with a female "social scientist".......they know everything....apparently! 🙄
They go hand in hand. You can't add liquid to a glass that's already full.
If she watches The Kardashians or The View, it's an automatic "NO".

As a 73 year old man with a very intelligent wife it is becoming harder to find interesting people to converse with. It seems fewer people are reading books so all they know about is talking point headlines.
I'll talk to you! One of my best friendly acquaintances in college was my ancient philosophy prof - the guy knew twelve or more languages, had a Victorian mansion full to the gills with books, and randomly broke out in Greek. I'd go out to coffee with him and talk for hours. Some of the best chats in my life.
(The best intellects I've found among all ages have been Catholics well steeped in Thomistic philosophy and theology. They tend to also have a deep knowledge of history and the natural world as well, al la John Senior. Maybe start there?)
@@anzot6903 thank you, I live in a small rural town and many of those topics I enjoy. I do spend a good deal of time with some younger Christians discussing and teaching theology and philosophy, but not to many are interested in going into the depths of thought. Critical thinking is minimal.
@@briancasey4917yeah, rural areas are difficult. We moved from a city with a young college population (in a cluster of Catholic intellectuals) to a rural area and finding like-minded people is rough. I sympathize. Online forums can only take you so far in a friendly conversation too. My husband is my conversation buddy, we keep each other on our toes.
doesn't matter, America wont exist much long with how little anyone is protecting it.
Each successive generation knows less and less due to the fact that they read no classical books, just trash.
My last girlfriend had zero interest in history and I was on a WW1 kick but on our 4th or 5th date she wanted to “Netflix and chill”, but told me to get there around noon. She actually went to the library to rent, and then bought a few other multiple hour long documentaries all about WW1. It was like 16 hours worth and she kept asking me questions about stuff too. Hands down one of the best dates I’ve had
"Last". Not current.
He’s bad at dating
Who cares, y’all didn’t last let alone graduate.
Why would that be a best date. She had no real interest in those topics and just allowed you to be self absorbed and talk about it. Had it ended with a successful relationship different story but it didn't.
@@jameshill4900 I want someone to be themselves. Otherwise you end up with a bait and switch down the road.
On my second date with my husband, he spent 20 minutes explaining the Ottoman siege of Vienna to me and how the battle of Helms Deep in LOTR is loosed based upon it. That's when I knew he was a real keeper.
Oooh, that sounds great.
I did not realize that there was a real world comparison to the Siege/Battle Helm's Deep! I wonder if any of Vienna's troops also did trick shots whilst sliding on a shield....

@@sanuelkessler8435 Only in the Peter Jackson version.
As a man. First dates are now like a job interview. First dates make me appreciate my house plant more.
It's hard to adequately extol the virtues of a lovely golden pothos...
It's your job as a man to turn into a fun interaction rather than an interview. You're either falling into the woman's frame letting her lead with boring questions or not sparking sexual interest..
At the end of the day, girls don't care cus there's 100 other "you" in line for a date.
WHY would you think that dating as a 'job interview' is not entirely appropriate? You are "interviewing candidates" for the most important job to the rest of your life: wife and mother to your babies! How about before you invite a gal on a first date, you tell her, seriously, that you ARE interviewing for a future wife and mother to your kids. Women who WANT to marry and have kids will be THRILLED to "apply" and YOU quit wasting time and money on playgirls, or young women who don't know yet what they want. WHY would think the wife-hunt is not VERY VERY SERIOUS?!
Yes, except dates are far more expensive.
@@elenorsnow8970 yeah except both parties are interviewing each other. You both need to show you can be loose and fun unlike a job interview
I would be in seventh heaven if a woman asked me that question on a date. Where are they?!!
@@marcusantimony7535 married
Already married..... Sorry. 😢
I know several women who are fascinated by history just as I am. We do exist, but we just take some time to find.

Someone saying history is boring is about the dumbest thing possible to say.
Same people who say marriage is a prison sentence and having cats is better than having children. Yet can’t go on vacation with inmates and cats don’t bury you or celebrate your birthday.
I love history now but when at school it was the most boring lesson. Looking back it was almost like they didn't want people to care for history is was that dull. For kids they could go over parts of history that are exciting while combining that with other facts. Hopefully now they can show some good films in class that are exciting about history even if not 100% accurate.
@@adrianfox7972 School sucks. It drains people's love for subjects that are actually fascinating. It's also rearing people to get into mind-numbingly boring work.
History is all in the past
@@jeffreyjordan1544 here’s a different framing that’s not so divisive. I love aviation. I would rather go to an airshow than watch airplanes parked, gutted and mounted for display in a museum. I could talk about a lot of aviation and space race history..but outside of that not so much.
I love music. I would rather spend my time practicing and creating my own music than reading about music history.
I’m getting the feeling Matt made this episode just to talk about the Spanish conquistador book he read…
Shhh! I want to hear more; I love conquistador stories! We deserve it, we live through so much, what with the clips of Joy Reed and The View.
I was fascinated hearing him talk about it.
I couldve sworn ive heard him talking about starting to read this book years ago on his podcast lol
He has no new material to talk about, just pulling random things out of his ass. It’s sad
Two degrees in Applied Math after years of working in the trades, zero interest in history.
Anyone without my background is unintelligent, and their lack of interest in my interests proves it. 😅
In our society, the phones are smart...the people are stupid.
I am married and i was not looking for an intellectual guy, but someone who was wise. There are too many intellectual fools out there. Even if he wasn't smart, I wanted him to have wisdom. I forget what questions I asked him, but i would watch him when he was around his parents, siblings and other women and how he treated people in general. A moral and wise person is what I wanted. Words are words, actions are much more important. My husband ended up being extremely smart (he is a mathematician and a scientist), whereas I am nothing remotely close. But he never ever makes me feel stupid. He is kind, thinks things over very carefully (he didn't know basic things like how to cook, garden, work on house or a car, but I knew those things). He attentively listens and allows me to teach him things and vice versa. He is not easily convinced or swayed by things. He is very wise and such a wonderful tenderhearted husband. He chose me even though i was not smart. Intellect can easily be lost on a fool, but a wise person, though they are currently not smart, will quickly gain intellect once given the information. I choose wisdom, morality and kindness from the heart over intellect and beauty.
I wish I could give your comment an award as THE BEST EVER!

@@barlscharkley5411 to your credit, if you are actually well read in those topics, you'll have a pretty solid grasp of the history of ideas, which is an important aspect of history per se. But yeah, please fill in some gaps. Humanity has done some crazy things.
More than Likely a man is more likely to have a intellectual conversation, discussion or debate with another man than a woman because in today 's culture women don't seem to care about that their only interested in how much they can financially extract out of the man.
As a single woman in my 40’s, it really doesn’t seem like people are dating to marry these days. It seems more like they’re just using each other to scratch an itch. And that’s why I don’t date.
Hm, you may be onto something there.
Why would a man want to invite today's USA family law in his relationship? You can''t control and you can't take everything a man has so you just don't date?
Pretty much. All of society has become designed to plug us into an addiction to pleasure. So that's the way people who grow up in society view and go about relationships.
I'M 75yoa, married 54 years { mostly happy } and I've had itches for 50 years ......Yeah, the itching in the last four years has been hit or miss, or in those areas you just can't reach at our age, Hang in there...someone may come along.
Thats a very strange and irrational assumption to make about "all single people". There's tons of men and women looking for genuine long term connection
Now where it starts getting tricky is when people start evaluating their sexual market value and become delusional about what theyre requirements from a long term partner
People are making dating and marriage WAAAYYYYY more complicated than it actually is. As someone who's been married for 25 years, here's some advice that's honest and true. And free:
1. When you're seeing someone new, make sure you find out on your FIRST DATE if you both want children and both want to get married. Those two things are NON-NEGOTIABLE. Never ever start a relationship with someone who doesn't want children or wants to get married if you want both of those things and hope that they'll change their minds at some point. I don't care how charming they are or how they seem to be the only one who can understand you. I promise you, they are NOT the right one for you. Why are you wasting your time?? And if you are, that's on you and shows that you're hesitant about making a commitment.
2. From the time you go on your first date to the day you get married should not be more than two years, unless you're both under 18. Again, what are you waiting for? What can you possibly know more about each other?
3. Never ever compromise your own values to fit into the other person. You either both accept each other as you are, or move on. Something which may annoy you may not bother someone else. And vice versa.
Date with a purpose. The end goal is marriage and a life together. It's up to you to make it happen.
Age gaps can work
Stop the cope
@@truebluecluewhere did she say anything contrary to that?
And study the dynamics between his or her parents VERY closely, especially the parent of the same sex. Despite whatever level of relationship (or lack thereof) the person you're courting claims to have with them, he or she still learned (or didn't learn) what type of spouse to be, expecting how to treat and be treated by you, from the parents. This will be his or her default, be sure it's one you can forever live with if they never improve.
Sound advice:)
@@pamjones7426 I can agree with dating with a purpose... But that purpose isn't always to run to the altar. Individual people have different goals in life, and success in dating can look like a 60 year marriage, or a wonderful summer, and anything in between. Nothing is a given, and you have to find a partner who you can accept for however long love can last, and appreciate that no matter how it pans out. If not, and it doesn't work out, you're going to feel like a failure. Relationships often play themselves out over time, but that doesn't make it a failure.
The problem is that the dating pool of women is horrible. I didn't settle for 38 years. I found the perfect woman, got engaged and then she was killed. I went through hundreds to find her. I give up at this point. Finding lightning twice is nearly impossible.
Sorry for your loss. I would say during the engagement period it is not uncommon to believe your intended is perfect, but the real test is marriage and life together, and if you still think she is perfect after that you are in denial. So you are right - finding another perfect match is impossible because they don't exist. What does exist is a perfectly imperfect person when you are ready to look again.
Omg I am so sorry, man.
I am sorry for your loss. It is heartbreaking to find the person you were looking for - for so long, only to lose her. ❤🙏🏾
Sad. But why give up? Give up on perfect, look for complementary, and adventurous, a different life path. Go overseas, I did.
i think i would be the same tbh at that stage
dating wise nah it's time to call it a day
Intelligence and education are two different things. I have known self-educated women who were more intelligent than those with college degrees. My point is to talk to them don't ask for credentials. The world is full of people who are educated beyond their intelligence.
Thank you for saying this!
most of the world would agree with this.
@@danaabadal1707
Themselves excepted, of course.
As a history nerd, my eyes would pop out of my skull like in an old cartoon if I was unironically asked that on a date.
Indeed. I would have a hard time not monopolizing the conversation for the remainder of the evening if I were asked that question.
Are you a Democrat or a Liberal? If they are, walk away.

I'm a woman who has been fascinated by various historical periods her whole life. I can empathize with someone struggling for exact dates and battle names. But not caring about major things that happened to people in the past just seems strange to me. What an odd disconnect from the world.
I concur! Even as a teenager I’d watch the History Channel every night before bed. And as an adult I started reading more too.
One very interesting book covering a huge amount of human history is called…
“Sapien: a brief history of humankind”
I highly recommend it :)
I love history. David Starkey comprises a large portion of my non fiction. However, my husband knows next to nothing about history nor does he care to learn. He's too busy writing code that may someday produce artificial brains and land us on Mars. I have never met anyone more brilliant despite sharing no intellectual interests.
I feel like that’s where many are in life today. Obsessed with social media, disconnected from reality and certainly no interest in history.
100% same i love WW2 History I'm not going to grill someone for not knowing the exact day the Battle of Stalingrad began

I have a friend whom declared to me that history is boring and I’m a nerd. I’m 25 years old and have tried my best to keep the friends I made in high school but around every corner I find more reasons to not speak with him or the rest of them. Arrogance, pride, conceit, resentment, manipulation, egoism, dominance hierarchy thinking, etc. These traits make up the majority of their character traits. We have had laughs as a group, but they have also deeply afflicted me over the years for various reasons in copious situations. I am a dumb person for choosing willful blindness and also doubting myself for years because of the people I have allowed to surround me. These days, I spend most of my time listening to great intellects and rational, well intentioned beings on the internet. I read but take breaks because I worry I will not relate with anyone anymore and I fear everyone will see me as a weird “nerd” who has no fun or personality. I have many deep insecurities and I’m learning to overcome them. I’m attending Peterson Academy to find like-minded people and to kickstart my studies once again.
Intelligence isn't the only thing you should be looking for in a date. In my dating years, I looked more at a person's character, whether they were kind, honest and trustworthy.
He didn’t say it was the only thing. He said “how can you tell if a man is intelligent?”
IQ has no bearing on a person's worth or quality.

@@bowilliams8643 I guess
This take is flawed Matt. What if someone isn’t interested in history, but has dedicated their life to a craft like music or an art? That does not make them dumb or uninteresting.🙄
The history of art or music is fascinating. And generally those who have dedicated their life to either have studied the history of the subject. There are distinct periods of both areas that influence where we are today.
@@TheRozylasssome people prefer to play music instead. I’m sorry, but the history of music has to be one of the most sleep enduring topics on earth. I don’t care about how the powdered wig guys played piano endlessly. I’ve taken classes on it before. Holy snooze fest. Classes on music theory or how to play or write music? Much better. Theory can be a compilation of historical documents presented in modern fashion without hearing about some dudes childhood. It’s all a matter of personal preference.
@@scott8934 You're right it's a matter of personal preference. I find the stories of individual composers to be quite interesting. Biography is part of history, as is geography, and many other topics.
I know plenty of people who are pioneering new technologies and innovating. They don’t care about what’s going on anywhere on Earth or what happened way in the past. Some of the most interesting and deep people, also married. It might be a good filter question for dating but I disagree with mark of arrogance absolutely. Going to miss out on some good people if that’s the only qualifier. Not everyone that drives a new car goes to find out how it was born and evolved. I’m fascinated with history but I wouldn’t condemn someone who isn’t taken with it
Then you must be discerning. I can tell by the way John Mayer talk about and plays the guitar that he is pretty smart.

My first reaction: "The Civil War and WW2" I'd be so stoked if a chick asked me this. Also, as a historian, I've noticed most other actual historians are Conservatives.
Are they, really? I mean, being a STEM guy I don't have a lot of contact with historians, but the general impression I get is that they are mostly left-leaning, and by a long shot as well. It might be a bias because the ones that come to the top of my mind right now are only those that are "media famous" in some capacity, or maybe it's just my country, I don't know.

I’m 19 and a woman and even I study history and have interest in it. LOVE THIS THANKS
I'd have trouble on where to start with that question. I've never had a female ask me this question (except my sister who was a history major). I've had males ask me but not females.
1) The Sengoku Jidai Era: the rise of Tokagawa Ieyasu (who Tokyo is named after) and the rise of the Shogunate.
2) The Fall of the Shogunate: this era mixed feudal Japan with more modern technology like ironclads, machineguns, and rifles.
3) Russia's ridiculous fleet they sent from the Baltic Sea to Port Arthur. This whole voyage reads like a joke. Russia was so incompetent.
4) The Kush, The Afar, Aksum. Very few people even know these exist.
5) The Mughal and Maratha Empires. Few know about ancient India.
6) Catherine the Great, Peter the Great, Frederick the Great, Queen Elizabeth the 1st, Henry the VIII, Queen Mary, Mary Queen of Scotts, Queen Victoria, Loius the 14th (the "Sun King"), etc.
7) Scipio Africanus' invasion of Africa.
8) Ceasar's invasion of Gaul. Caesar is taken prisoner by pirates and demanding they request a larger ransom for his life (he then hunted them all down).
9) Timur the Lame and his invasion of the Middle East out of Afghanistan.
10) Pyrrhus of Epirus and how winning isn't always that great.
11) The Three Kingdoms Era.
That's in ten minutes off the top of my head.
If I was on a date with you and told me some of those answers I would proceed to go on a rant about how much I hate Catherine the Great, then sing you a song so you know that I know all the kings and queens of England in order. Then wrap it all up with a geography throw down to see if you can name all the countries of Europe. And then I would ask you about 8 billion more questions about all the topics you said, we'd have a great time and I would leave not even knowing how many siblings you have 😂
These sound like rather ancient events. The more interesting events for me are when feudalism was replaced by democracy/capitalism, this was a rather important step forward from "simple/natural" social order based on warlordism to something more efficient and politically more stable and less violent. Freedom of speech, separation of powers, universal suffrage all were introduced at about this time.
@@denysvlasenko1865 Have you looked into the Polish government of 1500-1700s? It was clearly not perfect as their politicians ended up being bought out by Prussia, Austria and Russia but the system itself is very interesting. They were very well advanced compared to most of Europe, and part of the reason they have been so attacked is because they were uniquely free. Very interesting topic if you have the time!! So are you the most interested in 1700s America then?
The events of (8) happened at two different periods of time in Caesar's life: he was young-ish when he was taken by Cilician pirates- he had been heading to Greece to further his education in public speaking, if memory serves; the pirates were apparently amused when he considered the ransom they asked for, too low & demanded they increase it to like 50 talents (which was an eye-watering sum)- they also apparently found it hilarious that he promised, when he was freed- he would hunt them down & kill all of them.
He kept his promise, even when the governor of the region proved reluctant to assist him - he put together a force, & true to his word- captured & crucified the pirates (& took back his elevated ransom, to boot) - but as a measure of mercy, had the pirates' throats slit before their crucifixion.
Yet his later colleague, rival, & future son-in-law Pompey gets the credit for ridding the Mediterranean of pirates (except, pirates were still a problem after both men's deaths- their successors were still dealing with them)...
All the docos & movies talk about his Gallic Wars, the civil war, his time in Egypt, & his death {which is roughly a decade or so, at the end of his life}- but little light gets shone on his youth; he came of age in the era of Marius & Sulla, & their civil war - he was actually related to (or would be related to) both men by marriage; Marius was married to his aunt (when still fairly young he delivered a eulogy for her), & later on, one of his wives was related to Sulla - the latter said of the young Caesar that, 'he saw many a Marius in Caesar'.
SENGOKU JIDAI IS AWESOMMME!!! Oh my God, we would get on SO well if we met. I freaking LOVE that era, especially Tokugawa Ieyasu! I also love Russian history. I don't know a lot about the other topics, but I always love hearing about new areas of history. I used to think that I should only like "ONE" part of history. Total bullshit. I love it ALL!

Matt, you have been saying a lot of dumb things lately, but this one is OK. I would probably phrase it "What are some historical periods you find interesting? And if so, what makes them so interesting to you?" That does tell a lot about the intellect of a person. But I'm a history buff, and I admit most people aren't, so I would not put too much stock in that. Everybody's brain is different. Some men are interested in the interworkings of a car's differential, or the internal combustion engine and have zero interest in history. That does not mean they aren't intelligent. It just means they are interested in something different than you and I. I'm interested in a car's differential and history. But this is one of the problems with the extreme right and extreme left today. You have to think like them in order to be accepted. Just as it is possible to understand the workings of a car's differential and be a horrible driver it is possible to know history and continue to make the mistakes of the past. Which means you can still know stuff and not be intelligent or have common sense.
Matt’s a bit off base here. Dudes would be over the moon if they found out the girl they’re dating is into the same stuff as them, especially video games and history.

Yes, but you haven’t been in the dating scene for 42 years, so this is alien to you. The dating world is ratfucked, I can speak from experience.
Same. I'm in Australia and unfortunately the minimum time you have to wait to get married is one month and one day, but if there was a Las Vegas-type place, we would've eloped after our first date. We did get engaged after our first date and married a few months later. Like you, we just knew. We've been married for 25 years and been through a lot together. I see people who've been together for 8 years or more and just stalling getting married and I wonder just what they're waiting for. What other revelations about each other are you waiting to find??
5 days? I've heard of love at first sight, but the earliest I've ever seen people making the move to get married has been 3 or 4 months (which is not all that uncommon among Christians, of which I am part of). I'm glad it ended up working out for you both!

The male fantasy is not one of meeting a woman who has all your interests, but it is one of introducing the woman to them as the relationship progresses. Historical literacy is not limited to books, though one ought to put aside Matt's hyperbole. I think, also, equally valid areas of knowledge are Philosophy and Theology.
Among many others, including but not limited to physics, mathematics, anthropology, and many others. Matt’s take is just plain wrong, simply because he limits the interests of a smart person to just a single one, which is completely asinine. I’ve been interested in and actively engaged with learning about several different periods of history, and many other subjects. It’s like he thinks that only if you’re interested in what he happens to be interested in you’re smart, ridiculous!
@@mbh9566 No, Matt is right here. History is a special type of universal cool that appeals to many men. History of Science is also that special type of cool. Philosophy and Theology have a historical component to them as well.
@@handsomegiraffe Everything has a historical component to it, so I guess if you’re looking at it that way then Matt is correct. But it definitely seemed like he was specifically referring to an interest in the subject of world history, if you get what I mean.

Yeah, meeting a woman with some of your interests CAN be cool, and doesn't have to be a deal breaker (it depends on what the interests are, and how many you share). But it's certainly not my main concern.

I think you're conflating a curiosity and interest in history with being knowledgeable about it. It's okay not to be able to rattle off days or years, but if you lack any interest in what has happened before you were born, it's like he said...
@@Local_Hitman But don't Einstein's theories count as the history of science?
Completely wrong. History, unlike the other things you mentioned, is necessary to form a coherent philosophical and political worldview.
I agree, a short conversation with my husband told me he was intelligent, and part of was our shared love of history. That's actually the only thing I disagree with is not wanting to share in those interests, it must be an individual preference. My husband and I have amazing conversations because we share interests.

Met my guy playing an MMO and a shared passion for gaming--not always the exact same ones, but enough that we can thoroughly discuss that--has always been a net positive.
@@KatallinaVTI don’t think that’s true for the vast majority of people, Matt’s notion that “men aren’t looking for someone who shares their interests”.

Me and my current boyfriend have many shared interests, and some different ones, and it has only benefited us.

No, it doesn't matter if someone is fascinated by history. 👈
It's cool if they are, but the most-important factors in someone you are attracted to are 1.) trustworthiness 2.) reliability 3.) work ethic and 4.) kindness. If you're attracted to someone, ask yourself two questions: Yeah, they're cute, but hypothetically, would I hire them as an employee? And second, if I had children with this cute person, could I trust them to raise the children even if I couldn't be there? Being honest about these two questions will help you to avoid a disastrous marriage or divorce.
