There isn't a day goes by that my wonderful man doesn't teach me some wonderful piece of useless information... (It's an inside joke) Seriously though, I LOVE it when he teaches me something that I didn't know.

I was married to someone who is highly intelligent but lacked basic common sense . In this neck of the woods we have a saying "book sense is not common sense"
Intelligence is an attraction for me, but, its just one aspect of what makes up the character and personality of a person.

lrrh77: Intelligence is a total turn on for me. I wouldn't like it if they were snobs about it though and talked down to people.
Yes I agree! Although I think emotional intelligence or EQ is actually more important than IQ! Intelligence without EQ is well, a bit like bread without butter...

ChasingCars: 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.
It would depend entirely upon the person or rather the people and their profiles. Some people are really intelligent, yet have little understanding of the world, whilst others have ..... sheesh....I cannot actually articulate the differences.....too many to state here. BECAUSE.....WHAM....what comes into the relationship is the marvellous Factor X.....which usually pushed out all sanity. I am far far far toooo old for all of this, laughter. Good luck to you all, and all those who can read between the lines, I am hoping to hear from you.
