I have a question for the guys. This may seem insignificant but I was wondering how important it is that your future wife/girlfriend is good at math. Im not the best when it comes to math and it makes me feel very insecure. I wonder sometimes if it's an important factor. Would you still date or marry someone that struggled in this area?

It's not an issue for me - her mathematical ability wouldn't impact how I see her at all. From a theoretical standpoint, I view "poor mathematical ability" and most other ability shortcomings as simply lack of interest in that particular topic, completely unrelated to intelligence. From a practical standpoint, most guys are at least competent in math, so most couples won't lose anything if she isn't.

That doesn't alter my perspective of her at all. What matters is who she is. Our skills and abilities will balance each other out.

I would not care about that at all!! I would only care that I made her happy and she felt secure. And in turn she was what I needed to feel happy and desire to provide.

as an after thought I would think it was endearing and cute, it would also make me feel more able.

I wouldn't have much of a problem if a girl I was interested in wasn't good at math. She would at least need to be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide alright, though. But I wouldn't care whether or not she could do things like differentiation and integration.

I think it is important for the girl to know basic math, it's not an issue for e though, but i think it would benefit her, she shouldn't be a math scholar. It's not an issue that i would hang over her head or anything. I would still date someone and maybe try to help them out.
that is my two i think.

It's not that big of an issue. I mean she should be able to basic math. If she can't get 5x=20, there's a problem. But beyond that, I don't care much. Math is not my strong suit either, so I'd consider someone who was a little better at it than I am. It would be helpful for bill paying and whatnot. Of course, I've never had a relationship with anyone, so I don't know how well I'd mesh with a math type, or a non-math type for that matter.
