I'm actually on a sort of hiatus from dating for awhile until I get some other things straightened out, namely a new job
But, I wonder...
Do men prefer to be "the intellectual," in the relationship or are they more interested in a woman who is smarter than them?
I used to think an intellectual woman may intimidate men. But then I got out of a "relationship," (a "faux relationship," really dude was a complete liar, tried to play me for a fool ) with a guy who was very intelligent and I think he became somewhat bored with me because of my naivete, so to speak. But it was the opposite for me, I enjoyed the mental stimulation I received from him. It was like I learned something new every time I was with him.
I figure in any relationship someone is going to have to "put up," so to speak with their partner being less intellectual. My question is does it work out best if it is the woman or the man doing the "putting up with?"
