    I think middle-of-the-road intelligence is fine for me. I find there are some downsides to dating either end of the spectrum. I avoid dating people who either don’t have informed opinions or lean too heavily on intellectual topics like an armchair philosopher without an off switch. Both are incredibly boring to me.

      True or pseudo intellectuals are exhausting. What with their logic and ontological empiricism. Bitch, I want to laugh at a limerick about a dude from New England.

        Yeah, and I guess I shouldn’t lump together pseudo-intellectuals with highly competent people. I’ll admit that there are a few incredibly intelligent people out there with doctorates and such who keep a level head and are quite the catch, but I find them quite intimidating.
