Arrogance and intellect are different things. Arrogance comes in all shapes and sizes.

it's a turn on for me. But of course it may as well be very impulsive if this education makes him behave arrogant and humiliating.

Indeed. There is lots of interesting DNA in the world. And some it could use some kindness therapy....

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. I have a question. If someone is wise and interesting, but maybe their grammar or sentence construction is on the clumsy side when they speak,, do you think you would feel embarrassed to be with that person in public social settings? |

No one with any real intellect & wisdom ever boasts or belittles others with that quality. The folks that do are more accurately defined as narcissists[ not intellectuals] as they have a need to build themselves-up by belittling others. Much of the time, it is just the opposite when others redicule learning for the reason that they, themselves, are insecure in regard to their own intelligence. * PLEASE NOTE: "INTELLIGENCE" & "EDUCATION" ARE NOT SYNONYMOUS. *My reference is to those cognitively talented individuals who have pursued education. |

Reverse the question.
Could you stay in a relationship with one of lesser education? |

There’s less educated, and there’s dumb. I wouldn’t mind less educated, but they’d have to not be dumb.

Thank you Violet, that is exactly why I phrased 'less educated'.
The majority of the respondents I read here put themselves in the lesser roll of the relationship. I have been on this site for just a few days and have seen clearly that these here are not dumb people; whatever their level of education. Paraphrasing what others have said Intelligence, Common Sense, and Wisdom are completely separate things and do not run hand in hand. I'm hoping to have at least 2. 'Cause as Meatloaf has said 2 out of 3 ain't bad. (glad none of you saw how many spell checks I had to do here) |

I've found the educated people I've known not only have great brains, they have great manners too. Manners in every sense.
I admire both education and wisdom, I'd have no problem dating either. A clever man solves problems, a wise man avoids them Einstein |
