Kindness, compassion, sense of humor, open mind, love of learning, and the self confidence to not let yourself be trampled are the qualities a partner will be attracted to.

Both of my sons are very smart and they’ve both dated women who were likely above and below them. The ones who stick around the longest are the ones who have the personality to match theirs- and to stand up to them when they’re being jerky.

I love that my husband is smart, but i hate that he can be difficult to work with on projects because he’s not used to being wrong.
