Yes I would, hey wait I do. I do alright in school but I am un focused and lazy so I never get super grades. I would definatly say my girlfriend is smarter than me, but I do alright.

It's not that I would date a girl who happens to be smarter than I am, it's almost a prerequisite that she be as smart as I am.

I've always thought that relationships where the two aren't equals suck butt.

Maybe instead of neffing around here you should take on an extra job to help pay for the extensive dental work that you obviously need.

ImTyping,
Ok, let's see a picture of you!

There has been a study about this stuff which pointed out that marriages in which the girl is smarter than the guy are more likely to fail than those in which it is the other way around.

I have no choice. All girls are smarter than me. JK!

I got higher IQ (10 IQ higher) than my GF, but she makes more money (15K more) than I do. What can I say?

well.. heres the deal.

I'm smart enough to know that if I was a girl, I wouldn't date me. Thus when girl dates me, she isn't smart enough to know not to date me. Thus its impossible for my girl friends to be smarter than me:p

<< Good question. I'd say smarter not as grades-wise, and not necessarily higher IQ, but someone able to comprehend more, faster, and intricately detailed, with a high logic process. Overall smarter, not just educated further but someone who can think on their own. >>

very well said HotChic...nice honest pic too :)

Yes, I'm dating one now. And in the near future I'll be marrying this one too. She's the 1st in all her class and ranted #1 in her department during the University years. She's got almost all A's in her classes and could probabily process or think faster than I. But thats in her field of study. :D when it comes to math and science I'm pretty much evens myself with her. but I do make more money than her :) thats a plus. Also when it comes to logic and normal day to day awareness I think I'm a more self smart person. I wouldn't say anyone is smarter or dumber(sp?) but everyone's got something they're special in and knows alot about. If a female can out smart you in every single field then its time to move on unless she don't rub it on.

Same here! If I'd have waited for a woman less intelligent than myself to get involved with, I'd be celebate and not by choice!

ImTyping has been flushed... Wahoo!!!

Anyway, as for my answer to the topic, yes I would date a girl smarter than me. However, I don't think I could date someone in my specific field of study. My last GF (of 3.5 years) was way smarter than I am, though she thought otherwise. She could out write me and run circles around me in most arguments/debates/logical discussions. She had an amazing ability to remember facts she would read out of magazines and books (ie she could recall the caloric content of common foods off the top of her head, not an easy task). I had her beat in math and science, but that is only because she never applied herself in those areas.

Ah well...
