They can defend you and know right from wrong, help you.

Yes which is fine in that case

This isn’t true.

Wealthier people like doctors date nurses even if the income gap is larger.

I’d honestly not date a retail worker either, cause I wouldn’t know what to talk about with them. A doctor can talk with a nurse. A doctor can’t talk with someone who is just selling clothes in H&M.

A fact: the lower the income, the lower the job requirement is and that means also lower knowledge is required and mostly done by either students who are still studying for a degree to earn some money or well, it’s people who chose to go into that branch and stayed there forever cause of being lazy.

So to me it depends: is the person in retail working in retail to get money while studying something else (interesting topics can be discussed) or is the person in retail cause"stuck".

Id rather date someone who learned a job (nurse, trainer, cook, stewardess, police officer,…) than a 40 year old H&M or McDonalds Cashier who actually never studied anything.

We can cry all we want but the fact is, low income job = low requirement = lower inteliigence = no deep conversations. It’s what it is, I wish it wasn’t like that but it is.

Do you think a pilot, politician, doctor, engineer, etc. cares if they have a wife who earns less then them? It’s very hard to find someone who will even match their income. They have enough money. They want deep conversations with interesting people and interesting people can RARELY or very unlikely be found if they just work “retail” since 20 years.

I know a few cool people who are very smart that work retail jobs, but thats like 2 out of 1000. The others are boring people.

A millionair would also not date a normal average joey with high income, because they are living in their own bubble. Like you won’t even be able to talk with them and they won’t even be able to talk with you, because they are either rich and dumb or rich and super smart.

I dated someone from H&M and after shift they just played computer games or watched netflix. During dinner she ranted about how her coworker is sick and how busy it was. But that was so boring. Compare that to dating a police officer who can tell you a wild story or a nurse what they experienced or the pilot… you know what I mean?

Thats my personal take on why I wouldn’t date anyone working only retail or other low income jobs IF NOT STUDYING to make money until they are done. If someone is 25 and still working retail its a red flag for me.

The biggest thing though is that if you look at the income gaps it doesn’t matter at a specific point. If I’d earn 10k+$/€ a month I’d not care what my new partner is doing. But I’d make sure I find someone interesting and the first place to look would not be in retail.

Thats assuming you are applying IQ messurement on the american system and not using AIQ (american intelligence quotient) which is basically the same as IQ, just multiplied by 3.6

AIQ = IQx3.6

But yes, your joke is funny, assuming you used IQ as the messurement and not AIQ which is officially used in the united states.

With that logic, someone who can lift 100 lb is stronger than someone who can lift 99 kg, because we aren’t multiplying lb x 2.2 anymore.

If someone has an IQ of 120, that means he has an AIQ of 432. So 120 = 432.

“Room temperature IQ is a far bigger insult in Europe than America.” is still an insult though, since it’s usually about 70°F, way less than 432 AIQ. It’s 362 points below the average AIQ - so an insult.
