Intelligence
Hi
I was wondering if anyone would like to share their views (and in the meantime provide me with some sought-after advice lol) on how important the intelligence of each partner is in a relationship.
Without trying to sound at all big-headed (which Im not) I sometimes find this quite a grey area as Im quite a bit brighter than average and worry about not being compatible in a relationship with women I really love but dont share the same level of intellect.
Please someone help
I really need it

I personally don't think I'd enjoy being in a relationship where I was much more or less intelligent than my partner. I'm not pretending that intellect is THE deciding factor in choosing a partner but I really do enjoy a feeling of equality in all areas.
I'd be exactly the same if I felt much more or less attractive, more or less sensible or more or less mature than my other half. I think generally people seek, and achieve, a balance with their partner and intelligence is just one of the more obvious ways in which this balance manifests itself.

i like intellect is kinda important, i like to be able to have a debate/discussion with someone, i think the art of witty conversation is attainded with soneone compatible to you, i like to feel equal to my (non existant) partner. i went out with a guy who wasnt say as bright as me (im not amazing clever) and the conversation was so dull he grunted and asked for sex a lot, needless to say it didnt last long.

I think "intelligence" as you seem to intend it is one factor, but someone's general manner of thinking - the kind, rather than degree, of intelligence that they possess - is more important.
I like women to have better spatial awareness than me.

I like flings... so looks are quite important. It is, afterall, the first thing you notice...
But in a relationship you have to be able to talk to them and that doesn't mean the other person must be incredibily bright
