House: Sevens marry sevens, nines marry nines, fours marry fours. Maybe there’s some wiggle room if there’s enough money or if somebody got pregnant. But you’ve got at least three points on your husband and your frock says you didn’t do it for the money and your breasts say you haven’t had any kids.
Judy (NOT of big booty fame): So you figure my marriage is a mathematical error.
House: Numbers don’t lie.
What do you think? Have you ever seen a couple that appeared to be a mathematical error? Or have you ever dated someone way below/above your “integer?” Do share, Grown Folks…

Bwahahahahaha! A mathematical error?!
Ok. So there have been times when I have walked down the street with a girlfriend and looked at a couple that didn’t make sense.
I mean, they talked about the whole T.I. and Tiny FOREVER.
I’m pretty sure I dated below my integer, but I didn’t know he was quite that far below my integer when we started.
I love House!
I KNOW I’ve dated below my integer, if we’re basing this on looks alone. If it’s the whole package, once you add the fact that he/they were super smart, that bumps them up. Then subtract one or two points for immaturity and social awkwardness and they plummet back to three-dom…
I have dated quite often below my integer, if looks are the judge. But the women that I dated, had so much in other categories. I love convidence. Even if it is undeserved, if you believe it, I am with it! I also enjoy stimulating conversation, and that is something that won’t fade.
Heeyy, Mr. Ontez, thanks for commenting!
It’s always good to hear a man’s perspective. Y’all always get the reputation of being too shallow to look past the physical. I agree on the conversation being something that you can hopefully hold onto for longer than you’ll be enthralled by looks. Like that saying, “Behind every fine man/woman, there’s a woman/man who’s tired of their ish…”
That is he larry yus! I hope that it doesn’t happen that way! I just would like to believe that the woman that I spend the rest of my life with will be able to teach my daughters to be women.
Question: Does it change your view of a woman if she is below your integer? Like, do you feel more comfortable approaching them?
Well I don’t ever approach a woman that I am not attracted to. I do love stimulating conversation, but you don’t see conversation. That comes later. I approach beautiful women, but if I meet a nice intellegent lady in a social org. or gathering conversation goes a looooong way!
I vaguely remember this episode, but maybe it comes in defining what constitutes one moving up or down numbers.
I’m not going to lie, i want whomever i date to be “out of my league.” i want to be the person that goes to an event with her and everyone asks, “why? how did he pull her?” is it vain? yes. but, i’m not perfect.
