riyablossom: hmm I have heard this so often about i would like to meet someone intelligent and smart ... etc.
What do you think you are looking for when you are seeking a mental match ? Is it his/her ability to keep up an intelligent conversation or have an opinion whatever it might be or plain be receptive of what you are talking about ?
How do you assess smartness on the " scale of the mind " ?
Does it matter at all ????
Well as for me, I say I want someone that has some intelligence and common sense simply I want someone that can understand simple logic, reading, writing, math and be able to hold a conversation about all sorts of things not just about sports or politics or religion, or biology I want them to have a little knowledge in alot of areas the listed are just as an example.
Then from the common sense aspect here is an example: If I put someone in a square room with a ceiling and tell them to take a broom over all of it before (i don't know we paint lets say) if they did not sweep the ceiling off first then the walls from top to bottom and lastly sweep the floor they are to stupid as far as common sense is concerned for me. and only people who have common sense can understand why
