You meet someone. They are attractive and interesting and seem to like you.

They are also clearly out of your league when it comes to brains. Maybe he or she is in Mensa, speaks half a dozen languages or was a child progidy who graduated college before hitting puberty. Maybe they are just incredibly quick witted in conversation. Whatever the specifics you get the feeling that this person is, well, just a good deal smarter than you.

Would you be too intimidated to enter a relationship or would you take it your stride? Or would you maybe find it a turn on?

I wouldnt have a problem with someone being smarter than me as long as they didnt try to make me feel stupid.

What´s smart....academically or streetwise? I´m not in the slightest street smart but fairly academically sound, so I´d prefer someone who had read a book or two. laugh

I'm delighted to date someone I admire on any level if other factors are working for us.

How impressed I am with his intelligence is not an issue.

How impressed is HE with his intelligence.... that would be the deciding factor for me.

I don't think that works too well. My last g/f had 2 degrees and is taking her MBA part-time and drinks more in a week than I do in a month and then some.
