As well I asked this question because it was several years after high school before I went to college. Those years I spent doing alot of partying, intelligence is not a requirement to party, so I left it behind for a period. But when I decided to go back to school my gf at the time did not want me to because she said that my ego was big enough. But I had to go back to school in order to take care of my little girl.

as far as my grammar and spelling this is not a professional atmosphere so I don't feel that I need to act like it is.

An experiment? As in, come all my test dummies, let me attach the Marionette strings? Either way... I think that if you peruse through the entirety of the thread, you will find some fairly unique and a amazing people opened up and were fairly honest with each other during your "Emotional Labrat Labrynth".

It has been fun, and it really doesn't bother me that the world will always view me in their own, I know who I am and I don't validation from perfect strangers. But I learned alot about people in general from this post as well alot about myself and how I react to situations where I don't maintain the upper hand. Which is one thing that I like about the internet, because in my experiance people in real life seem afraid to tell me what they really think based on the way I present myself to people that I meet.

Well, I suppose thats a plus. I hope that one of the things it pointed out, was that there is absolutely no such thing as gender based intelligence. My girlfriend is ten times smarter than I am... but Im never mistaken for a rock during an IQ test. It has nothing to do with gender actually. I know thats not the point you were making with your title... I just have a large hang-up with stereotypes. Anyways. Glad your experiment posted positive data.

^^@ indigo-sexy AND smart^^

How to define "more intelligent"? Say for example, a person who is a scholar of quantum physics takes his car to a mechanic to get it fixed because he has no clue whats wrong with it,,,does this make the scholar less intelligent,,,the mechanic more intelligent? No, just different areas of expertise.

I would really hope not. Unless, the guy is so smart that he is too smart and makes a fool out of himself...........It just takes a good mix of personality and realization to understand that it is as simple as watching to see if your friend is having a good time or feeling left out and bored. We all have our worlds of expertise.some of us are Menza material while others have learned from a much different approach and haave learned to use it well...Common sense and paying attention to the moment is really the short of what I am saying.

Very well said profoundlysimple. The point I'd like to again bring up is that intelligence means absolutely nothing when you're alone. It's human nature to share. We are all looking for our equal as a mate. Right? That doesn't mean that my mate must have an intelligence quotence in the upper 160's. My equal could be someone much less intellectual, but very experienced, and efficient with matters of the proverbial heart. No? Profoundlysimple said it best.
[qoute]paying attention to the moment[/qoute]

That's all that is important in any type of relationship between two people.

I had a good friend who was truly, amazingly smart and well-read, and it was great to talk with him about anything. But I could always get him with the trusty: "Hey, if you're so smart, how come you ain't RICH??"

I think smart & intelligent men are sexy. I don't dare feel intimidated by a man who may know more, he's likely to share his knowledge with me. What's a better way to get to know an intelligent man, by having a deep and profound conversation that last for hours, and you walk away learning more about that person and yourself...

dynamics, i've yet to meet a man smarter than me too. and, i'm not talking about book smarts either. it's simply the whole intelligence package, which includes common sense and social skills.

I am an intelligent woman, and I appreciate intellectual men. The man I am dating, currently, is an intellectual equal... we learn from eachother. Intimidated? Not in the slightest. I enjoy being able to converse with him, without having to define the big words.

The one I like to use with the arrogant college graduates; I don't need a piece of paper to prove my intellect.

It doesn't really matter to me how "intelligent" he is. As long as he isn't stuck up about it.

I once dated a guy who was very intelligent and went out of his way to constantly prove that he was more intelligent than everyone else. Soon as I found that out, I was outta there!

There was another fellow that was a really sweet, absent-minded professor type. I kinda got tired of getting only half of his attention though.

The ones I like are those who are both intellectually AND emotionally intelligent. Ahhhh. Heaven!
