Well, she's got a masters in finance and has managed to climb her way to the top of her field, so I really don't think IQ is the issue. But if you think women wanting taller guys that earn more is due to their lack of intelligence, go right ahead.

Finance smart, relationship dumb? Really wish my knowledge of function pointers and 3D transistor gates had helped me land the right woman!
Hyperbole aside, I'm sure there's some latin name for the fallacy you're committing. Your sister is making a mistake, do not attribute it to her gender just because she happens to be female.

I don't think that's necessarily fair. Society does dictate to a certain extant that the man should be the primary breadwinner. She's having to make an additional concession in a relationship that a man wouldn't be expected to.

I agree, but that's a problem with our society, not her gender. Attribute the problem to the correct source and I'm sure the discussion will be much more meaningful rather than people cherry picking capitalization issues.

It's called wisdom. Your intelligence is what allows you to understand function pointers and 3d transistor gates, the wisdom you gain from past relationships, mistakes, and life experiences is what allows you to make good relationship choices.
I love how every correlation made on these boards that can't be substantiated by some irrefutable mathematical fact is therefore accused of being "hyperbole". Everything is a correlative fallacy.

So, you're saying her inability to learn from her relationship mistakes is because she has two Y chromosomes? I want you to substantiate what you're saying by connecting it to her gender, not how females are generally raised in this society.
The hyperbole was regarding my comment, not yours.
I'll put it back if you show me your penis.What the hell, I didn't see that tag.
And Deathwing, I didn't recognize you without Walt. Looks weird.
McCheese called me a robot in the weight loss thread, so I ran with it. Didn't get a response out of him

Who said ALL women are the same? Let's just shut down these boards then, because almost EVERYTHING stated here besides min/maxing in an MMO is a generalization. I swear, someone here could post "Nazi's are bad" and someone else would post "no they weren't, there were some good Nazi's too that were just afraid!"--XYZ Fallacy in your face!
