Intellect in a relationship

This means that she is content with herself and her interest, and shares with me, but she does not manipulate me toward what she is into or about...

 

@ Ches....Nothing to sell. Key word...INTELLIGENTLY

 

But, and excuse me if I'm not understanding you, you expect her to follow your lead and be pulled towards your interests?

 

In my current relationship I feel a bit unhappy in regards to intellect.

I don't consider myself stupid or anything like that,but he is way ahead of me.

He has several college courses taken and is going to continue more, in 2 different areas actually,whereas I "only" have a vocational school degree in addition to HS education.
I am about to enter a dual studies program in retail ,which gives me a degree similar to a "Masters of Business Administration" but only accepted within Germany).

His interests and level of expertise lay mostly in science,technical stuff,military related topics and he is quite informed about history and current events as well.

My interests are more in the linguistic field (fluent in my native language German,English,and speaking a bit French and Spanish), and of course business and retail related matters as that is my work field.
I read a lot,but mostly crime novels or non-fictional books that deal with crimes which have really happened.
Oh and amateur modelling. Forgot that

Current events I barely know anything about and my historic knowledge is quite limited/basic.
On retail/business administration I can't really teach him anything new as 2 of his previous girlfriends studied in a similar field.
When he brings up some scientific or current event topics,usually I need to ask him to give me some background facts or explain things first,before I can discuss with him or respond to his questions.

 

My father has no college education, and is easily the smartest man I know. Beyond all my career mentors and professors alike. He has a photographic memory, like serious total recall. Don't think college makes him any smarter than you are. I have my degrees and do/say stupid shit all the time

 

Riiiiight.

 

Yeah, I usually am.... :yawinkle: lol

 

A photographic memory is awesome.
Wish I had one ,too
A lot of times I don't understand things in depth.Only on the mere surface.

 

Well, there was this one time....

 

Over intelligence isn't only measured by IQ...there is EQ, SQ and PQ as well.

Physical Quotient+Intelligent Quotient+Emotional Quotient+Spiritual Quotient = Overall Individual Intelligence

For instance, my EQ is WAAAAAY low. I'm like a rock. But my other's are above average. Doesn't make me any better or worse than any other person...just different, individualistic...me

 

How would the physical ad spiritual quotient be measured?

 

Those that exhibit poor hygene, unhealthy eating and exercise habits, and low overall physical energy would be said to have low PQs. People that exhibit higher levels over self consciousness, empathy for others, and inner peace are said to have high SQs.

 

Thank you for clarifying.
Then I should be about medium in both of those.
Especially the PQ could be better.
Having a few minor health issues but dropped 40 lbs within 2 years by more walking (normal walking,not running though) and cutting down on sodas and sweets,carbs and fat in general.

 

I don't "expect" anything, nor do I get your point on my opinion if there is one...

 

My PQ is bit rocky myself...not as bad as my EQ. It's hard for me to open up to people, or exhibit romatic feelings. Just the way I was wired I guess...oh well.

 

SHEEEEEEIIIIITTTTT!

 

Nobody's perfect at everything.

 

It doesn't bother me to be quite honest, lol. It's other people, usually women, that take issue with it.

 

Probably with the EQ? As women often tend to be more into emotion and their expression & having an easier time with that.

 

Therein lies the problem, lol. I'm the first to admit that...but for some reason, I find women that think I'll change over time. I am who I am. IamMe, lol
