sofi 17,143 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Well yes, i believe there are different kinds of intelligence. I'm dating someone who's better than me in some fields, whereas i'm better in others and i get better grades. I could never date someone who is stupid though, as mean as it sounds, i lose patience easily with slow people. And cleverness/wit is sexy.

Õ�weet 2,847 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Intellectually meaning intelligent or smart? I'd rather date someone who is smart in life than intelligent in grades. But my final decision is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iljin Prince 904 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 If they were inferior - yes. I'd find it cute if I had to sort of "teach" her about stuff and guide her through life, in a sense. I don't want a total ignoramus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wings 4,616 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 No, because I need someone who can hold a deep conversation with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulmicola 1,981 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 No. Ignorance and stupidity (of every kind) are among the things I hate the most, and I like people who like and value culture, so... I don't think I'd be able to date someone like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uaena 1,895 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I've never met someone who I thought was intellectually inferior to me and didn't have mental problem. And intellect doesn't really shape personality so I never thought about it. When it comes to dating intellect isn't really a huge factor unless...there's something wrong upstairs.

ingenting 1,781 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 i want to be able to hold a deeper conversation without having to explain everything, or not understand what the other person is talking about. i don't want to see the other person as stupid, or to be seen as stupid. as long as it stays within that frame, yes, otherwise no.

Vaelin 6,957 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I know people without education but you can talk with them about everything and have fun. 2 years ago I would have sayed yes but now I don't think it matters as much. For example about a girl, when I said something about Japan. "Oh right, they can only have 1 child there." but in other areas she can be quite witty.

Buns 3,767 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Yes, I obviously don't want a total moron but intelligence, especially academic, isn't a heavy deal-breaker. My current boyfriend is also heaps more intellectual than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss.Miss 8,896 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 As long as they are not the kind that are ignorant and are happy to remain ignorant. I'm not about to go out and ask people their IQ or test scores to measure them against mine since it's more important that we are able to connect, hold meaningful conversations,can share similar values and understand each other.

Dasom 375 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 For me, it's a yes. It doesn't mean that just because someone is more or a less intelligent then you, you can't hold a decent conversation. A good friend of mine is really smart, I think she has a eidetic memory, but she's witty and fun to hang out with and I actually don't feel stupid next to her. A former friend of mine was not intellectual but he was very positive, friendly and good at socializing/talking as well as funny so we were also really close. Knowing these people I wouldn't really mind having a boyfriend who is more or less intellectual than me because it's not like the more intellectual one would only talk about the topics the other one wouldn't understand.

Surely being on the same intellectual wavelength would help when discussing complex topics? For me, I'd rather not date someone who I can't discuss intellectual topics with because I like intellectually stimulating conversations. Of course, personality comes first.
