Do u think its possible for an intelligent person to be interested in someone who isnt as intelligent?

Question

and get along nicely together?

i dont consider myself very intelligent, but i am attracted to intelligence.

Answer 1

We are hardly ever on the intellectual level of everyone around us. We will always find we are a bit more intelligent then one person and less intelligent then another on the whole. The one thing I know is that everyone knows something and though what they know may not be my cup of tea it does not mean they are unwise. It usually shows that our interests just lie in different categories. I say when choosing friends do not be too harsh on their intelligence. Could be they will be teaching you things so accept people due to the kindness in them and wait to see the outcome. I think you will be pleased.

Answer 2

Absolutely. There are a lot of ways to be "intelligent" (when you say intelligent, I assume you're talking about scholastic performance or something like that), and there are lots of things that make a person worthwhile besides a high IQ.

Personally, I'd rather be with a kind, gentle, attractive, humorous person who has a low IQ than to be with a negative, sarcastic, closed-minded member of Mensa.

Answer 3

Yes but what is real intelligence. Higher intelligence. One can lack in material intelligence and appear like a fool in so many ways (math,Language, science etc.) but they may have higher spiritual intelligence. One can get this intelligence and share it with others. IT makes one very happy. Go to http://www.stephen-knapp.com for universal intelligence and truths

Answer 4

People do that all the time!

Look about - you'll see couples where either the male or the female are leapyears better looking or vice versa than the other and you wonder "how'd they possibly hitch up?"

I always wondered why smart guys were ok with dating me. I suppose it was because I could maintain a decent conversation, and knew little bits and pieces about all things.

Bottom line is the compatibility of personalities and goals. Not a big deal.

Answer 5

Not for very long. It gets boring for the less intelligent person to have to struggle to get the smarty-pants to understand low brow humor. And the intelligent one gets tired of explaining things. It's a cute novelty at first, but it gets tiresome.

Answer 6

Yes!

I happen to be quite intelligent ( according to many people I have met throughout life ).

BUT, my husband has to be the biggest goofball ever. I have to explain things to him a million times and he still won't understand. A couple of weeks ago, I was talking to him about how he spends entirely too much time playing this one game and he was just staring off into space. I asked him if he heard me and he says, "Yeah..." So, I asked him what I said and he was "Umm... uhh.......... something about the tv...." and I told him what I said again.. and unfortunatly, this conversation went on 5 times (5 times of his response being something about tv) before he FINALLY got what I was saying.


...somethings not right about that guy....

Answer 7

First question- YES. Second question- NO. Im smart, AP, honors, etc, valedictorian from middle school and engineering program, and am sexy at the same time. I was dating one of these wanna be gangstas girls, and we never really got along well, she was always like in another thing and always said stupid things. youg et what im saying. just date a preppy person, they are smart and make sense also.

Answer 8

As long as showcasing the intelligence doesn't factor into things

Answer 9

YES of course they can, why couldn't they. Just talk talk studpid or genius around each other unless you are compfortable about that. Just be yourself but if you get overly samrt then tone it down, but remeber you want him to like you for you, not who you pretend to be.

Answer 10

People find interest in other people because of a need for companionship not because they are intellectually likeminded!
