Sometimes I get the idea my girl friend is not that smart
    #14535393 - 05/30/11 11:29 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

But the odd thing is she is VERY good at university.
However she doesn't seem to think ever, like use her brain in real life.
I don't get it.
:S

There are different types of intelligence.
I mean theres book smart, street smart and other types of smart.
There are intelligent people who totally lack common sense.
Also theres a huge difference between wisdom and intelligence.

I get that.
I mean I really like her, she is really awesome and an amazing person.
But sometimes I wonder if a relationship with someone like that is a good idea.
I don't like feeling like I am dealing with a child sometimes.
I feel that it is kind of a petty reason to break up with someone though.

I mean if you do feel like you are dealing with a child sometimes is it in a dependent way? Like she is dependent on you to get things done?
Or is it just in a lack of understanding whats going on sort of way?

"Not suitable as a life partner" is a perfectly legit reason to move on.

I don't know. Like sometimes I have to explain multiple times when she asks me what to do for a certain thing. I feel like saying "your an adult now, you have to figure these things out yourself".

But she isn't dependent really. I don't really know.

But she is perfect in every other way and adores the ground I walk on.

I would say try to think of a way to make it work.
Maybe try to see if she could get involved in something that would build her independce and problem solving.
I think that it would only be a problem if you start having a lot of disconnect in your communications.
Only you know how much of a connection you need for your idea of a great relationship also. Is that connection there?
Like if it isn't there intellectually... is it there physically? Humor?
There are a ton of ways to connect with a person.
It's all about what your seeking.

I used to want a partner who was smarter then me.
I got one and I found out that I like being in the leadership role in a relationship.

Haha, I see what you mean. Reminds me of a friend I have; she's a very capable psychologist. But rarely have I met anyone who's at the same time so naive. Actually, it's kinda cute.

What I don't get is why you want to be with her if she's not smart. 

Very few humans possess much in the way of common sense. This is not unusual.

Does she color inside the lines?


I'm halfway with Doc here, although, you'll never find anybody who is 'perfect' for you...

Agreed.  All relationships require compromise.  I'm not in your actual situation, so I can't really tell you what to do, one way or the other.

But there's a difference between compromise, and living in constant frustration.  Only you can know if you can live with it.  Only you know if her other qualities make up for it.  Only you know if you're capable of finding someone better.

Good luck.

Sounds like my exwife. I remember the very moment I realized I was smarter than she. I made a decision to just accept it. I never really thought about it again. The problem being that she was smart enough to realize that she couldn't compete with me mentally. She bases her self worth in her intellect and ultimately couldn't rectify the two. See the last word of my first sentence.

haha she left because she was a dummy? lol... dummies


personally, i have a hard time dealing with people that i think are less 'smart' than me. this could be because my peers, the people i spend the most time with, are all on my level. when i meet someone who isn't there i'm a little uncomfortable. like i have to adjust myself to cater to them, but i don't really have the skills to do so.

i could never be with a woman i thought i was smarter than. though i've been with a woman who thought i thought i was smarter than her. and to me, that in and of itself, is indicative of shit for brains. ironic.

I've had a intellectually smart girlfriend but she was borderline retarded when it came to wisdom/morals.:strokebeard:
As long as they have acceptable wisdom and morals I usually end up liking them. IQ really isn't worth shit if you can't apply it in a loving productive way.:awesomenod:

book smarts, emotional intelligence, social intelligence, physical intelligence, sexual intelligence...

arguably there are many types. i took a sexuality class and the proff told us that we're naturally attracted to those that are pretty close to us.. intelligence wise. whatever that means.

This described me for a long time... probably until close to my 30s. Most my friends, which are basically the same core group since high school, are at least close to each other mentally. I now have the skill set to deal with others, but I usually am relatively quiet, just enjoying the show.

We do have one friend that is obviously less intelligent, but there is no more loyal friend in the world. Out of everyone I know, if I had to take someone into battle with me, it would be him. He doesn't get a lot of our jokes, but he has impeccable taste in music, too.
