I'd say about equally smart, tho she has much more education than I.

These days she uses it at home with the tot and watching Fox News all day [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I would say that she is just as smart as I am. She is really really great at things that I am not so good at. I am much better than her at other things.

Smart women rule. A woman who is not smart, no matter how good looking, would get boring fast.

My girlfriend is in an MD/PhD program where, at the completion of her 8 years, she'll have both degrees and specialize in pediatric oncology. I still insist I'm smarter, though.

My long-time girlfriend is incredibly smart. It was always a big turn on that she did better than I did in school (we went to college together). I am pretty smart and pick up on most things very quickly but she always understands things when I explain them to her, even when they are from my field or poker or whatever and completely outside her natural realm of interest/study. So despite my being very smart, there is not a big buffer because she is very smart, too, and that is a big attraction for me.

I have about 12 years worth of schooling more than my wife. She is actually very smart though. It is kind of refreshing when we debate a topic because her views are less influenced(?) although still intelligent. Does that make any sense??

I think I am smarter than my wife (but not by a lot). This isn't a reflection of her smarts, I think I am smarter than most people.

"Smarts" was definitely a factor when I decided that my wife was "the one".

I'd say my wife is much smarter than me in terms of pure brain power. She's taken official (rather than the web ones) IQ tests where she's scored in the 130-140 range.

On the other hand, I'd say I'm more rounded. Not only do I have computer hacker skills, I also possess some serious bo staff skills.

All in all I'd say I liked the fact that she was intelligent and bright when dating her. Dumb chicks are fun for a while but once the novelty wears off it gets old to have a stupid ho around for the long term.
