My b/f Jake says I'm good in bed and a laugh but when he wants to settle down he will want a more powerful brain as the mother of his children. He has degree in Eng lit. and I have only a couple of GCSE's so you can understand his thinking. Who should I look for?

You're still letting him into you bed even after he told you that? He's an ***!

Apparently I have an IQ of 146 which is quite high so Mensa tell me- they still ain't getting 90 quid out of me though! Anyway, even with my IQ I'm a lazy fucker who preferred cider and random snogs to GCSE study, hence only six average passes.
Didn't really do much after that other than a couple of crappy Alevels and getting suspended from university (I like to think of this part of my life as my genius rebellion stage:-).
I don't tell people my IQ, partly because it's unforgivably immodest but mainly because most my friends wouldn't believe me. Having my brain is like owning one of the most powerful computers in the world and doing nothing with it except downloading free porn and surfing random websites.
My point here is that a powerful brain means nothing in the real world. Effort, determination, willing, compassion and enthusiasm count for so much more, so tell Jake to stick that in his pipe and smoke it!

Some of the most intelligent people I know do not have degrees!! And some of the biggest, most ignorant, obtuse and dimwitted people I know have advanced degrees! You, my dear, have low self esteem and are allowing your boyfriend to bring you down even more. Anyone who would even say that is a dimwit IMO. Intelligent people do NOT think that way!! And nice, good guys don't think that way either. I wish you the best in figuring out that you're too good for that cr@p. Blessings of self-love and respect your way.

don't understand why you would stay in the relationship, this guy just told you that you are good enough to sleep with, but not good enough for anything else in his future. by sticking around, you prove him right. it doesnt matter who has what degree. a relationship between a man and a women is not measured by who is more educated, but how well they work together. he obviously does not see you as an equal.
as far as looking for someone, you need to know what you desire the rest of your life to be like. make a list of the traits you would like in your "other" half. and you be the judge of who is good enough for you.

Wow, why so down on your smarts? Is this something that he said?
Personally, if you feel you need to smarten up, start taking some night classes, read more classic books or just start doing crossword puzzles.
But just because he has a degree does not make him smarter than you.

You should tell him to stick his degree where the sun don't shine and find someone that appreciates you - I would! Basically he's just told you you're good for practising on, but as soon as something better comes along he's off. If you're happy being his in-betweeny, then all is well.

Point to his nose and say "Look"...
His Eng Lit will almost certainly tell him that things are not as large as they seem...
And then look down upon his snotty little attitude and go find someone else to play conkers with.

In my opinion, you boyfriend sounds like a jerk and a loser. You don't sound stupid, and you shouldn't let anyone disrespect you in that way, especially not your boyfriend. I think that you need to dump him and find someone who can appreciate you. Who cares how much schooling he has? Having a degree is a poor measure of someone's intelligence.

You'll know when the right person comes along. Sometimes dat shouldn't matter, what matters is dat he treats you like a lady and dat both are in love wit each other

Do you mean that you want to hook your bf up with someone else?
You don't sound disappointed...hmmm. You are surely intelligent, just not as educated as him! Perhaps you are smarter than him, even! I hope that if you two break up, you find someone who flatters you more, and if you two stay together, you can reconcile.Give him hell, if necessary...
PS, what are YOU like? Find someone who blows your mind!
