Big words hurt my noodle ..yup

Without going into a whole speal on learning theory & different types of intelligence[s][blah-blah-blah,ect.]; the "IQ score/level of education" question becomes irrelevant.
What I find to be more useful in assessing any potential for compatibility is The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator of psychological types. That being stated, the other element of importance is related to personal experience & shared interests. It's nothing personal & pretty logical to assume that because I love academia & learning;it would be undoubtedly difficult for me to be happy with someone who did not share that interest & visa-versa.

I AM TOTALLY AGREED WITH YOU

That's great baby

Being better educated could be interesting but does not necessarily mean you are intelligent, smart,practical, wise or has wisdom. Some could just be stocked knowledge, it's just there in their brains not being used in actual life situations coz they don't know what's the practical thing to do, they are only limited to what they know about their field of work, mostly theories and ideas only. Definitely I will not be intimidated if you are better educated than me coz you may not know some of the things that I know. Other things are not learned from school but from real life experiences, which is the best teacher there are many successful people who did not finish schooling but because through hard work, perseverance, determination and ambition that they strive to become a better person then they achieved something in life......very admirable traits of an individual. I'm in awe of their skills, knowledge and good characteristics not their education.

You ain't kidding. I've seen a lot of "educated idiots" in my time. It's like they don't know how to do anything useful outside of their education. I've seen some that don't even know how to turn a screwdriver. It's bad when a man can't even figure out how to tighten or loosen a screw. But I've seen it.

I've seen women that wouldn't date a man unless he was "white collar." But then get tired of him because he is useless around the house. Has no idea how to do anything. I might be wrong. But I think that most women like a man that can do stuff.

Like me for example. I can fix things around the house. If something breaks on the lawn mower I can fix it. I know how to fix a lot of stuff on a car or truck. I use to drive a cement mixer for a living.

I think for a lot of women when a man knows how to use his hands, he seems more manly that a white collar guy that doesn't know how to do anything. He may be a good money maker. He may even be a very good father to his kids. But in his wife's eyes, he looks like a wimp that without his "high edu" he is nothing. If things got really bad, would he be able to go to the woods and bring back dinner? Would he even know what to do?

Education is a good thing. Nothing wrong with it. I'm not trying to down people with a good education. But there is so much more to know than what to do if the company server goes down.

preach on girl,,,

Make a lot of sense.

I'm not so well educated that I can't continue to learn something new everyday.

There are those that are book smart but lacks common sense. As well as those that have lots of common sense and not the best education...

To me it is all how the person handles themselves.. Sure if all they talked about was stuff way over my head we might not be the best pair..

Education is what you make of it, those that know when to come down to earth and be able to talk on all levels are the ones I can listen to all day..We are forever learning and nothing better then to learn from those that you can relate too.. Without them looking down on you..for those type I'm not intimated I pity them for not being knowledgeable enough to know how to talk to others...

My self I do enjoy talking to those that know much more then I do.. It all comes down too how they present themselves. Those that have the knowledge and can relate to others are fascinating... no matter how old I'm there is always something new to learn....

Promote interest.

I wonder how often it a reverse form of discrimination that those who want to feel they are being talked down to read that into the conversation with someone who has a more extensive education what ever the source formal or experience.

Best of luck with that one

Good point!

I have found some of the most educated folks to be snobs. I prefer, an intelligent playful person over anything.

I believe there is saying that Romance is the intersection of intelligence and attraction. That's what I want, irrespective of all else

I admit it is a weakness on my part but while I would be highly interested in someone more intelligent than I am and feel amazing around him, I think I will feel intimidated by his colleagues if they are snobbish in their intellectual superiority

If your mate makes you feel comfortable, than his colleagues wouldn't be a factor. But I do understand your point. Luckily, I don't come off that way. I'm very laid until my intelligence gets questioned by a smart a $$ then I put my foot soo far up there.... (you know the rest)
