I guess past a certain degree of smartness it doesn't matter. I guess I
couldn't see myself dating a someone who couldn't carry an intelligent
conversation, but Aaron is right. After a certain point, each person has
there strengths and weaknesses. Perhaps it isn't me that has caused this
complex in myself but others. I assumed that I didn't want to go out with
someone who wasn't much much smarter than myself because I didn't want to
deal with their feelings of envy or perhaps insecurity about me being smarter,
or even equal (competition, you know). If someone was just as smart as me,
or slightly less so, and had self-confidence in themselves, I wouldn't have
to feel that way.
I wasn't interested in the Skidmore guys. They just pointed out this
phenomenom to me.
Thanks for your comments. Any and all will and have been appreciated.
