How Smart is Your Significant Other Compared to You?

webmonarch · #1 08-05-2005, 03:18 AM

For those who have spouses, long term boyfriends/girlfriends, etc. I.e. "significant others."

How much of a "smart" buffer is between you? That is, are you a lot smarter than your significant other? A lot less smart?

How much does it matter when getting together? Did it turn you on? Off? Make you wonder about long term possibilities?

BTW, I'm not really talking about IQ score or whatever qualitative scale you have. I'm just asking for "feel."

Yeah. I agree, but maybe someone could shed some light on the whole adding a poll thing, cause I don't get that as an option when I post.

i dont have a significant other but when i get married it better be because my wife thinks about things from the same perspective as me and not just because she has a nice pooper.

I'm definitely smarter, but it isn't a blowout. She's a lot more successful though, which led me to believe she was smarter in the beginning.

Now that I know better, I find myself much more attracted to girls who I know for a fact are smarter or as smart as me.

I am more book smart than my wife.

However, the Warden has Spidey sense and has mastered both the Jedi mind trick and the Vulcan mind probe.

I need one of those Magneto helmets.

My long time girlfriend is definately more successful then me, she isn't less smart then me, but definately in a different way. I'm more technically inclined and have a much more mathematical approach to things (but obviously have poor spelling skills (I assume I'm spelling about 8 words wrong in this post)).

She is much better with, what I would call, social intelligence. My skill set is much more traditional
