Intellectual compatibility as compared to value compatibility?
I've always been too smart for my own good, but not very good with emotions. I don't care if the woman shares my interests, as long as she challenges me intellectually and understands and accepts that because I often don't show how I feel doesn't mean I don't feel, just that I feel too deeply for expression to be possible in any way except action.
Actions have always spoken louder than words for me, and my mate has always been in lots of ways my very heart. Does she have to be as smart as me? Hell no. She just has to appreciate that how I treat her is how I feel. How do you treat your heart?
I don't want a rotten one myself, so until I find a woman with a good heart, I'd prefer to remain alone. I'm not all that uncomfortable being by myself, in comparison to being with someone who doesn't appreciate the treasures inside my heart. The treasures inside my brain can be explicated, but how do you express something that has no measure?
