Dating someone more intelligent than you

[j.adore]

An intelligent person is never boring for me. I love how their brain works

[iwannabeasupermodel]

Ako din, i'll not feel insecure. Andami kong natututunan. He's like an encyclopedia. And i do miss very much my encyclopedia. Reminds me of my childhood. <3

I prefer men who are smarter than I am but I make sure na nakakasabauy naman ako para naman pag nag-uusap nakakarelate pa rin ako sa kaniya but  I would say, I'm more street-smart compared to all the guys I've dated..

[stebsy]

Maybe he just know a lot from that field. But I find an intelligent conversationalist attractive. I learn a lot from such. Parang ka date mo kasi si Boy Abunda pag ako Ang ka date mo. From facts to chismis kikilatisin natin. Hahaha!
Siguro I'll feel inferior if yung manner nang pagsasalita niya e iba. Like insinuating na "ehm Hindi mo yun alam? Nyenyenye nye"...   Pag ganun, alam na. Hehe

Intelligent conversations are stimulating esp if you can talk about anything and everything and doesn't drain my brain dry.

[maukris]

For me, go for someone who is more knowledgable/intelligent rather than someone na mas matalino ang girl, para you will have a good conversation. Mas gusto ng mga guys na sila yung nag eexplain.

[shayne_12]

Diyan nga ako naiinlove eh.. haha

[honeybunny]

i like someone more intelligent than me, otherwise, turn-off ako. ayoko ng b*b*.. pero syempre dapat gentleman din sya and just because he is more intelligent that me e feeling nya mas magaling na sya sakin. hindi pwede un. 

[tischarmedlife]

same here. I like a guy na matalino/ may sense kausap. Isa rin yun sa reason why I fell in love with my now hubby. Mas matalino sya sakin. Dami ko  natututunan sa kanya

i guess i'll put it this way, it's good to be with someone from whom you can learn from. each day is exciting because you get to learn new things. however, the key to keeping the relationship alive is to make sure that you also contribute to the conversation and teach him things he doesn't know.
most of the intelligent people i know (based on academics - these are people who have phds or are going through doctoral programs) are very respectful and kind, they are never condescending. they recognize that each person has a unique specialization in life and that there are a lot of things they can learn from other people.
my husband himself has a phd and i met him while he was finishing his dissertation. i had googled him and found out that he had papers on nanorobotics! when i told my friends about him, their initial reaction was - you are so brave, i wouldn't know what to say to him or how to talk to him! what we really talk about is life in general - we talk about our dreams, places we want to explore, books, music, family, our childhoods, etc. he respects me and my opinions, he even asks me to proofread his papers and he always tells me how lucky he is to have found an intelligent woman

[imyourangel]

Ako ayoko naman ng puro intellect lang, mga factual knowledge lang. I like those who are 'emotionally intelligent' someone whom I can learn a lot to about life.

[mysterioza_me]

Mas tumatagal ang attraction ko sa intelligent guy as long as humble sila at hindi condescending. Yung gwapo kasi physically attracted ka lang pero nakaka-turnoff agad pagwalang sustansya ang brains.

[seamans.girl]

My partner is way more intelligent than me. Minsan nag lelecture sya about math (na hate na hate ko) sa akin. Lelecturan ko naman sya ng Cooking skills at Grammar (iba kasi dialect niya).

Same lang kami mas matalino sa mga ibang bagay... Give and take ba.

I never feel insecure kapag nagpapakitang gilas sya sa akin... Kasi ako din non, magpapakitang gilas. :-) That's how me and my partner tease each other.

[simang]

An intelligent woman will want an intelligent partner. Same thing, the 'more intelligent' partner will want to have someone who can keep up. Feeling ko hindi kayo magka-wavelength, or at least it will be hard to make it work. So while most of us wants a smart partner, we ourselves should be smart enough too.

[three8one]

mas feel ko yung madiskarte kesa intelligent.. minsan sa una lang masarap kasama yung matatalino pero pag tagal ng relationship nyo pansinin nyo sa sobrang talino nya yung mga simpleng bagay lang na ini expect mong alam nya nakakalimutan nya na. and another thing, sa discussion or any argument ayaw magpatalo laging may sagot. kasi matalino eh, lahat ng sabihin mo may counter syang sasabihin..yun lang naman namanpasin ko. sa ganang akin, ika nga...


 

[megamabushii]

Minsan, dapat talagang sakyan ang talino ng kasintahan mo...

[Dyesabel]

Depende siguro sa situation.  I don't mind dating a smarter guy than me.  My bf actually is.  But he never makes me feel belittled.

[TysLolakins]

I'm not gonna say he's more intelligent, he has more common sense between the two of us. 

[purple.strawberry]

Hindi pa yata. I'm always the book-smart sa mga nagiging partner ko. Sa first boyfriend ko I needed to dumb down or choose my words, yung simpleng words lang para maiintindihan niya, and when we watch movies kelangan ko pa iexplain. Hay haha. So ever since talagang nasa criteria ko na intelligence.

Yung bf ko ngayon magkawavelength kami. Mas nagkakaintindihan sa mga bagay-bagay. Tsaka masaya din kasi mas street wise siya and he's knowledgeable about fields different from what I know and vice versa.

Yes I have dated someone more intelligent than I. He was taking his Master's degree in Physics (this later progressed to a doctorate in Taiwan) while I was just reeling to the changes brought about by my shifting from BS Biology to BS Nursing. I hated Physics but he was so patient to teach me that I managed to pass the Physics course/subject. He never berated me but instead encouraged me to love physics. We broke up after 10months because apparently, he loves his bestfriend like he loves me. So I'm like "ah ganun?! E di magsama kayo ng bestfriend mo"
