I have a really, really hard time dating men that are not either equally or more intelligent than I am. I was going to ask this queston a while back. I had amazing physical chemistry and attraction with a man but he was not as intelligent as i'd like. He is college educated and is on a career path but he did not stimulate my intellect. He didn't possess a lot of common knowledge and awareness of what's going on in the world...I could barely keep my hands off him though:look: I'm starting to regret my decision after reading some of these posts. It has never occurred to me that I cld ever be happy being smarter than my SO.

Its hard to say. He has a lot of knowledge in a variety of subjects and can retain information on just about anything - a human encyclopedia, LOL. I also have knowledge in others areas, especially music. Though I'm not a pro, I do have "absolute pitch" - probably something I was born with and was nurtured by my classical piano training.

We can talk for hours on just about any subject. We both have a thirst for knowledge and can spend an entire day at the library browsing through books and references. I think I would have a hard time if I were with someone who wasn't passionate about something.

With that said, I think he's smarter, but its relative.

I've been in this exact situation and the bolded was dude's downfall. I was definitely attracted to him but I knew that in the long run it would never work b/c I was getting bored with him and we didn't have much to talk about. I don't regret it at all. I could be happy being "smarter" but if a guy never wants to have "deep" conversations or is uncultured, that's a dealbreaker.
