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 " ?
You'd have to be stupid to enjoy a date (much less a relationship) with someone stupid. And there you have it! I can't see Mr. Doc enjoying a conversation with a hair-brained bimbo Nor would your average jane (moi) enjoy a date with Mr. Rocket Scientist talking over the their head I'm thinking we attract, and are attracted to, people of like-intelligence (It's not rocket science.)

Does it matter at all ????
When I say I want to meet someone intelligent I mean somone who is sharp, clever, thoughtful, open minded--- a thinking person who observes the world around him and develops an awareness of it rather than just reacting to it; someone who reads, studies, and assesses not to validate preconceived ideas, but to understand and to learn.....someone who is smart enough to see the humor in life and as well as to be moved by the anguish and to accept it; someone who had dignity of soul because he is aware that the soul is meaningless without dignity....being intelligent is obviously a complex issue for me...

I agree with the gringa. "Average Jane"? Come now, G. I'm sure a rocket scientist could find something better to do with you than "talk over your head."

I'm smart enough to know I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, far as smarts for my match it would not matter but if I had a choice I would hope she is much smarter than me..
