Dating someone more intelligent than you

[sk8rboyswife]

I dated a professor in NY and still now deciding if I would continue,  thou he doesn't belittle me. it's like everything he says, he would always ask for my opinions and thoughts and I answered "I won't give out my thoughts, you'll grade me!" He laughed and said "that's an A-" - ginrade-an nga ako! but I like his sense of humor and he makes me smile right now.

Impressive yung intelligent guy. Pero syempre magkaiba yung mayabang sa intelligent. Meron kasi lalake na akala mo alam nya lahat at ang dami sinasabi. Yung bf ko tahimik lang pero matalino. Hindi ako intelligent like him pero nakikinig sya sa opinion ko and he respects me a lot.

[nixiquita]

^^thats so cute!! Haha parang isang scene straight out of a romcom movie or book. Haha!

[wildorchid]

San ba nasusukat ang intelligence? Kanya kanyang galing kasi yan. Kahit doctor ka, mas magaling ang panadero sayo gumawa ng tinapay hehe.

And nope di pa ako namaliit though sobrang matanong ako. I share what i know and i ask what i dont. Okay nga yun magkaiba ng interests, mas marami mapaguusapan.

[bleep]

Masasabi ko the guy I'm dating right now is intelligent kasi he's into reading books pero minsan napapansin ko nagiging KIA (know it all) na sya lahat ng topic alam nya covered nya lahat. He's so cute when he lectures me about stuff na nagpapanggap ako na di ko alam at mali mali naman sinasabi nya hahaha!

[margauxkhloe]

In my case. I never dated anyone na ganito. Feeling ko, ako yung mas masalita or mas ma kwento. Sguro most of them is maabilidad and madiskarte sguro. Pero I'm willing to date someone who is really intelligent. It will be a challenged for me.  Challenge accepted. lol

Guy here..

I have one question to ask ..

Would you choose to go out with a guy na literal na matalino pero boring oh ang street wise na tao na may sense of humor?

matalino kahit boring sa paningin ng iba. Real matalino can never be boring kausap for me.

sabagay, kanya kanya din kasing preference yan eh basta masaya kayo sa isat-sai OKS na yun

I agree with what sis hisana said.  Truly intelligent people know that there are other people out there who are better than them and that they have a lot to learn.  Maraming kinds of intelligence, and just because marami kang alam in one area does not mean na expert ka na din sa iba.  Kung matalino ka talaga e you wouldn't need to put people down just to feel superior.  Hindi intelligent ang tawag dun, ang tawag sa ganun e insecure and mean.

[t_r_i_s_h]

Hassle to! But I like it, I like guys with sense and brains. Ayoko ng BOBO! And mas masaya if you get to learn new things with him.

So, this is a YES YES for me 

[eleine26]

YES, YES, YES.

mas gusto ko yung mas matalino sa akin. para naman mag grow pa ako lalo at may matutunan pa. 

[imyourangel]

I believe parehas kami ng intellectual level ng boyfriend ko. Haha! Though iba lang ang intelligence naman. He has logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, naturalistic intelligence, while more on linguistic, existential, intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligence ako.

I can be more philosophical and I love talking about life, on how we can get along well with each other, etc basta more on people and thinking ako, while siya naman, bukambibig niya yung mga physics and math niyang di ko naman maintindihan. Hahaha! So we complement a lot! sa 9 intelligences ni Howard Gardner, pinaghatian namin yun parehas lol. It helps a lot pag may hindi alam yung isa, ituturo ng isa. Tulungan lang.

Though gusto ko din kung si bf eh may intra and interpersonal skills. Para may matutunan rin ako sa kanya na hindi ko pa alam..

Kung matalino ka talaga e you wouldn't need to put people down just to feel superior.  Hindi intelligent ang tawag dun, ang tawag sa ganun e insecure and mean.

*BOW*

Well, during my time labanan talaga ang brains over beauty (before high school, since labanan ng ganda't porma doon haha). No wonder, kapag matalino ka pero may attitude problem ka, only a few people will respect you.

[mooncake and leaves]

intelligence is my weakness. or at least, the assumption of it. last month, i served as a tour guide to a friend in la and he was so happy because andami daw guwapo. but the guys he would point out to me are athletic, model-y types who are also probably gay. whereas i would notice older guys in suits. never mind that they were a little flabby or had receding hairlines-- i am totally into guys who look like lawyers or investment bankers. for some reason though, i'm not into doctors or architects or computer nerds. maybe because they don't wear suits? hmm. okay, so maybe i'm more into suits than intelligence.

seriously, i had an ex who is absolutely more intelligent and successful. hindi naman niya ako minaliit. but we also had this big age gap and you know how older people are-- laging feeling mas maraming alam. so i attribute his somewhat patronizing ways to his age not his intelligence.

[duchessxspeaks]

I get bored easily, so dating guys that are more intelligent works. Hindi one-sided yung conversationans and it's super sexy to be able to exchange ideas with someone!

[snowberry]

I would love talking to intelligent people dahil marami ka rin matututunan.

But it's a turn off kung mayabang at self centered dahil alam nyang matalino or highly educated  siya. It doesnt mean naman na because he is a PhD grad or MD or lawyer eh basehan na ng katalinuhan yun. I would prefer a wide reader  dahil mas marami kayong topic na mapapagusapan kesa gamitan ka ng jargons ng profession niya.

Mas maganda rin if he has a good common sense and sense of humor. Hindi lahat ng matalino or well educated people ay may common sense.

[JSmoove]

True, there are different kinds of intelligence. It cannot be measured by the number of degrees that you hold.

I like it if the girl is smart. There are no boring conversations, plus I like it if I'm being challenged intellectually.

[purplegravity]

Yes, but of course we have our own expertise naman.

I'm glad i have a very intelligent man in my life.

[lovely_carrot]

I wouldn't mind, its more nakakainlove if the guy has more sense, yung tipong di mo kailangan paliwanagan lalo na pag tipong Inception movies ang pinapanood nyo
