Intelligence like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
There are too many variables with intelligence to list. If you meet someone and feel comfortable with their intelligence level, then that seems to be the answer.

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 ????

It does matter I think... I (briefly) went out with this cute guy who all I had in common with was a love of 'Top Gear' (TV program about cars) we had nothing to talk about and he wasn't exactly the brightest (which I hate saying but very true).. if you cannot talk with the person you are with on the same level and share interests or outlook... the relationship quickly gets boring even if they are REALLY cute.. which he was incidentally....

Its more of mental compatibility i would think. Like its easier to relate and talk to some while with some you arent even on the same book leave alone page.
An outlook to certain things , a depth of imagination and understanding , the ability to comprehend your feelings in perspective to your thoughts ... much more there is to intelligence than the IQ factor.

HealthyLiving: Hey RNG... this is probably the most serious and intelligent piece I have seen you share... Most EXCELLENT!!!
I was married to a fool once, no, twice. It is very frustrating!!! Especially when they don't want to pay the house payments or the bills... cos we only come home once a week! Thank God I had no offspring from them!!!
I have no worries of offspring as I am too old. But I do believe that communication is the most important part of a relationship. Without it, I might as well be alone! I would mostly want a relationship so I would have someone to talk to. I have a room mate that talks and listens... maybe there is a little more to it than that Good thread Riya!

I'm wondering, Riya, if you have some specific reason for originating this thread? I'm kind of getting the sense that maybe you do. Care to share (assuming I'm right)?
By the way - thanks for the invite on Facebook. It's nice to finally know your real name. I think it's quite beautiful.

You have to be able to relate to and understand your partner.
Not everyone has the opportunity to attend further education - doesn't make one less intelligent - perhaps less knowledgeable in certain areas.
Common sense is another factor - many don't possess this trait. We are all smart in some ways and very stupid at times as well. Hopefully it all balances out to some degree of being able to function.
