I don't know how I feel about dating people who are as intelligent as me.
I do know that dating someone whose IQ is half mine is a bad idea, but other factors were actually worse in that relationship.
It's not that easy anyway, I'm somewhere above the 99th percentile. When I did date someone who was as intelligent as me, it was awful because he had awesome debating skills and we were both far too competitive and my ego hurt.
I'm getting into something similar again now, and it feels good, really good. This time, there are actually enough differences in fields of expertise that we learn from each other instead of against each other. So far, anyway. I really hope that's meant to last.
Actually, my computing teacher said something along the lines of "why are you dating a baker? That is so below you!" about RJ. Great for my ego, but there's no real difficulty. He's far above average intelligence-wise, and while he won't understand most of the things I'm passionate about and politics discussions always end in yelling because he's far too conservative, it's wonderful and the reasons I'm leaving him have nothing to do with it - I just don't see myself maintaining a long distance relationship for the next 8+ years if it isn't poly.
Also, Axe/Lynx deodorant is awful. And pheromones... eh, it's not even proven that humans react to pheromones like animals do.
