smoky: If I had to write in german .....or italian, or french, or afrikaans, or zulu .... I could never express properly what I am trying to convey! It is only in my mother tongue that I feel free to do this.
So, Donau - you write exceptionally well, and you get your meaning across very well. It`s only me who nit-picks (like picking lice - an english expression for being painful about details). And because I like the meaning of your thread I just asked if you are asking One, or Two, questions?

I don`t know how you got the idea that there are lot of educated people here .... I think I am about the only Realy Educated Person here ..... (that is just to encourage them to answer this thread) ...

...So you see, even though the majority are uneducated, unlike me, they too, like me, are single!


As a former member of Mensa and declared to be among the top two percent of the intelligent population of the United Kingdom I too am a REP.

As an intelligent person (fed up playing it down) yes I do find it hard to relate with lesser intelligent people, which is why I have to sometimes play dumb (pretty convincing too,huh?).

I have never cut and paste so much as a piece of wallpaper. However,articulacy does not signify intelligence. Interestingly enough,neither does being well read or academically brilliant, though both help.

Not sure I want to explain what intelligence really is,its late,I,m tired and I,ll only make the dummies who pop in from time to time feel inadequate. And now I,m beginning to sound arrogant and you,ll all tell me I,m a sad little man with an over inflated opinion of himself.

Smokey,there are many other intelligent people here (you included my dear)indeed I would consider most of the people in the forums to be so.

And anyway,my psychiatryst said I was one of the most intelligent people on the ward. So there see nertongue

Donau: Isn't it strange that there should be so many educated people in a forum like that? Is it more difficult to find a partner if you have higher expectations in the spiritual level of your partner?


handshake

Yes, I think it is, especially if it is the woman who has higher expectations and is more educated. It is not only because of her expectations, but because many men would prefer to have a not so educated and maybe even less intelligent woman by their side. Some men just avoid educated women, and maybe they have a reason to do so because many men lose confidence in a company of an intelligent and educated woman. Lack of self confidence results in depression and other problems, both mental and physical, we all know that. Besides, not all men are looking for an equal partner, and educated women usually look for men who want partners with more than just good looks. It is quite an issue for discussion...
Of course, education and intelligence are not always synonyms, but I would certainly prefer to be with a man who is more intelligent than I am just because I still want to grow and develop as a personality, no matter how old I am...

Personally I love intelligent women, which is why I like all the ladies here so much,they,re all smarter than me. Problem is they are smart enough to know not to get involved with a simple man like me.frustrated

And then the head honcho at Mensa said " I,m sorry you,ll have leave,we caught you cheating. On the entrance exam you copied from a certain Mister Rust of the Night. For question three you wrote
