.....at least take their chat to email instead of the thread.

I don't think they are impressing nearly as many people as they think they are.

 Depends on who points out the fact that their intelligence is not on par ? If I find a man who is smarter then me, I enjoy the challenge. If an intelligent person puts someone else down.. they are going to be darn lonely at the top!

Science, Philosophy, Politics, and Theology all seem to strike a negative chord with the women I've been seeing recently. While, on the other hand, I have little to no interest in topics such as the history of their personal relationships and their self interests.

Is love even possible given such friction?





OK... so I read this an my immediate reaction is that you sound very pompous. I'm far from unintelligent, but your "intelligence surpasses their own in some areas people of a certain pedigree would consider to be elite discussion"...

do you really speak like that? I mean, if you and I met, and you spoke to me like that.... and please don't misunderstand me here, it is not that I don't know what those words mean, nor that I don't understand the sentence... but I'd think wow, this guy is so hung up on himself sounding smart.... he sounds like a pompous ass. Maybe the women you meet get the same vibe; maybe they are MENSA smart, just not prone to superiority complexes.

Religion and politics are two subjects that, unless you're really in a solid relationship with someone, are better left off of the dating table, IMO. Just good manners.

Is love possible given such friction? yes... good debates, good conversations, great disagreements.... they can be a terrific part of a good, healthy relationship. But it reads to me like you don't want that... you want your woman to be interested in what you are interested in.

Maybe you should look for a MENSA dating site. IMO

 I enjoy stimulating conversation with someone of equal intelligence /education level as mine and beyond. I don't mind asking for an explanation if I do not understand something and I don't mind occasional good natured ribbing of my shortcomings.

I do mind someone who wears their education or intelligence as a badge of superiority. I do mind someone who is condescending, pompous or rude.

I suppose, as with any interest levels ie: chemistry, it's simply a matter of finding the right match.

There is no ulterior motive to impress anyone, or to have a private conversation in a public forum.

Rather, it is to illustrate what some of us consider normal conversation, whether private or public. The "f**k or pass", "does size matter", and "am I ugly" threads just don't meet the mark. And, yes, there are people who talk like that all the time -- if we have nothing interesting to say, we say nothing.

You're 38?

So why act like an 8 year old?

I don't like saying it, but in a thread about intelligence, this adds nothing to the conversation and I can only conclude that the 'stupid' is strong with this one.

The tone of your posts in the thread makes you look very stupid, yes. You are not contributing anything of value, and your command of English is very poor.

Are you, perhaps, trying to be silly? Or, just throwing out ad hominem attacks (e.g. your use of "BOOGER" to describe the OP)?

You miss the subtlety in my comment. I never wrote you were stupid. I wrote that "the stupid" appears strong with this one. You project the impression of stupidity. If that is not your intent, then try a different style.

A smart person can talk anything with anyone.


A truly smart person knows how to listen to anyone.

We as a society worry about the talking, the important part is the listening. Then you can know how to talk to someone on their level.
