I was chatting with a male friend of mine last night (about what, I can't remember) when all of sudden, out of no where, he says, "you need to find someone highly intelligent". I asked if he didn't understand something I'd said and he said, "No, I was just making an observation".
But it got me to thinking...I have been more or less single for 4 years now and have dated a number of men, but the few that I have formed lasting, meaningful relationships with (good friendships only thus far) are the ones that can keep up with me intellectually.
I'm not a genius by any means (I think my last IQ test said 126) but I do tend to get bored easily, with men and life in general.
Should I start looking for mates in places that "smart people" hang out? And if so, where might that be in "small town USA"?

I find that it's important to find someone who is close to your intellectual equal, otherwise you will become bored quickly. At least, that's been my experience. If not, when you try to have a deep, meaningful conversation, it just doesn't happen. If you want to find "smart people" try school. You'll find professors and students there.

I think that after a while, women do find the cowboy type a little prosaic, and the wimpy "yes dear" even less of a companion. If you think of the longterm HAPPY couples you know, they challenge each other mentally. These are the people that WANT to talk every day, that like to discuss matters between themselves, couples that talk about issues and politics.
You can't do that with someone who is on a different intelligence level than yourself.

a million. You mentioned it your self they are merely recommendations. they are abstractions. recommendations. 2. On evolution you're merely thoroughly, completely incorrect. you're incorrect. i won't have the ability to place it to any extent further merely than that. i'm actual being form and giving you the excellent factor with reference to the doubt and not calling you a liar. we've transitional fossils, hundreds of them, in case you care to call a particular lineage i will call some for you. Charles Darwin did no longer recant his concept and it does no longer count number if he did. He did admit that transitional fossils have been lacking on the time yet he additionally mentioned that he was hoping destiny generations would locate them, which we've. keep in mind in Darwin's day the technological know-how of palaeontology substitute into under 50 years previous. organic techniques DO upload recommendations and that i will prepare it employing any definition of recommendations you care to apply. i've got by no potential met a creationist who would tell me what definition they have been employing. 3. you're employing instinct. you're extrapolating your universal information of physics to a place the place it does no longer belong. reason and effect contained in the classical sense does no longer notice to quantum mechanics. after all it relatively is an argument from lack of understanding. God merely did it is not a proof. This argument substitute into debunked seven-hundred years in the past and it is not to any extent further suitable at present. 4. No i do no longer think of there is unquestionably one of these ingredient as purpose morality, and do you be attentive to what unhappy ******* day for us. All you have mentioned is that the shortcoming of an purpose morality would be undesirable, subsequently purpose morality exists, subsequently God exists. No you could want as an occasion the life of an purpose morality. 5. constructive, prepare it. merely saying the sky is captivating isn't evidence it relatively is in basic terms some uninteresting white wash. prepare it, or close up. it relatively is that easy.

It's worth a shot. If the good lasting relationships come from guys that are on an intelligent level, then go with those guys.

It depends.
Smart people would give you more meaningful relations. However, dumb people are easier to control and you could just take him wherever you want.
Dumb people is easier to meet, so keep it as a last resource.
