There's no such thing as being equally smart but boring, now that's a different story.

LOL....well you'll seem smarter.

My most infamous ex couldn't quite keep up and I think she was a tad resentful of it. She mostly rolled her eyes at my antics...

Sorry, but you have to be able to hold an intellectual conversation at times.....

depends on how slow and how hot he is.

Im a pretty tolerant guy, but I dont like boring, ultra conservative people.

been there done that

lol..how funny...i wouldnt mind if she is totally clueless lol...

"yawn. ho-hum"

depending on what it is really

depends how dumb the dude is lol

it's o.k. 2 have differences...u have other friends to indulge in them with but if u'r not having any fun in any area maybe it's time for the friends speech...

I'm not gonna tell you that when I was single I never dated stupid women.

 I am gonna tell ya, that when I did, I wasn't exactly their mind I was attracted to. 

I have had this problem, actually .....Uh, if a guy doesn't get it...then it's not going to work..if he doesnt' listen, it's not going to work...if he's PLAIN dumb...Im DUMPING him....yeah

i don't think anyone can beat sarah palin so...

That all depends on how bad things are. If there is no spark there c.an't be a fire

I wouldn't go out with a guy unless he could carry on a meaningful conversation....

thats a hard one....i'll have to get back to ya

The only problem I would have is if I felt like I was talking to a child or taking advatage of them

not everybody is perfect. it would not bother me that much.

its ok i've got book smarts

Young Hot Dumb... Been there done that, not missing much

you can't fix stupid and if the ther party is just that dumb, gotta go...

Why rush things? The best relationship should start with friendship.

Once again, its happened to me before...

it makes good listerning

yes i hate no it alls and i hate dumb ass. but i do like a little chanllege in a realtionship

don't care about brains, it's all about heart(but being smarts helps out alot)

have to keep up

DEPENDZ ON THA AMOUNT OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US

Help the person out

I like being intelligence but dating an idiot wouldn't be that bad

Don

i would tell him to speed it up

I know it sounds bad but, if he is smarter like way way smarter than me I will always feel inferior.... if he is a retard I will always feel like I took hostage the special ed bus SO.... next.

it depends if they're super smart I might not like them and if they're super dumb i probably wouldn't like them either.

if they can't add 2+2 we will hardly have something to talk about it depends on how different we are in regards to intellect.

As long as it doesn't affect her knowing what I'm talking about most of the time, no problem.

i like intelligent guys...but the dumb ones are funny somtimes.

Y3P

I don't know. I am no wizard so it didn't take much.

I have found if the person you are dating isnt close in intelligence to you it will cause problems. Not usually as many interests in common.

It's going to be hard to be with a person who sees everything in the different light.

I hate to say it but I've dumped girls because they were into: a) Michael Flatley's 'Feet of Flame' b) karaoke (not just now and then, it was her life) c) that horrible 'Beauty and the Beast' show with Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton

Certainly not an immediate deal breaker. However, big differences in intellect have been known to chip away at a couple's bond down-the-road. Individual personality traits determine how much this matters. If a couple still knows how to communicate with each other in enough emotionally satisfying ways, this may never be a big issue.

Yeah, I will admit that I dated women whose IQ's haven't been too high, but usually these types of relationships are fun and short-lived. Once you get beyond sexual attraction, you find that there isn't much else, so it ends.

One time (after cutting raw chicken), I told a girl that I needed some anti-bacterial soap. She replied that she didn't believe in that. I said, Yeah, some people don't believe you should use anti-bacterial soap because you don't get exposed to as many germs and it lowers your body's defenses against them. Her reply: No, I mean, I don't believe in bacteria and all that stuff. I mean, you can't even see it!

If intellect differences are too marked, I think the relationship will end by itself, anyway. There won't be much to talk about.
