Is it normal that i think i am too intelligent to be in a relationship

I am 22 and I reckon the reason why I have never been in a relationship is because I am too intelligent to fall for guy's crappy. I see the way girls are they fall deep for this arsehole who ends up cheating on them or just ends up being a jerk. All the people in relationships that I know are miserable and I can't see the point when there's no example of a best case scenario in a relationship because let's be honest almost everyone you know is in a shitty relationship. I just want to be in relationship with a guy who has the same level of intelligence as me so we can avoid the bullshit that people in relationships fight over etc.

    Based on the relationships you see around you, I don't really blame your point of view. But it's not a fair representation; maybe everyone *you* know is in a shitty relationship, but those are just your screwy friends!

    Maybe 'intelligence' isn't quite the right word? Sounds like you're after maturity, integrity etc. As opposed to all the petty, pathetic bullshit you see around you. Most relationships aren't like that. Maybe go for an older guy?

    (Ps. You should make sure your sentences make sense before claiming to be intelligent...lol)

    • Yes maturity but intelligence as well, compatible levels of intelligence between two people plays a factor in determining if the relationship will work out. You can Google it if you like.

      Thanks for the honest comment and the constructive criticism, you're the only one who didn't post an assoholic comment.

    It's "intelligent" not to settle, but I don't think someone has to be brilliant to be compassionate and devoted to a relationship. Sounds like you mean "maturity"

    Most guys can't stand a partner who is more intelligent. For intelligent women, this is a well-known problem. I am a guy by the way. But I have noticed this too with girls in my family who are (almost) as intelligent as I am... ;-)

    • Exactly thank you for this comment guys can't stand it when their significant other is more intelligent than them they feel inferior and at the end of the day people with different levels of intelligence won't connect on a more deeper level.

        Well, a little sarcastic too, if you insist.

    Don't you think that it would be easier for an intelligent guy to do things behind your back without you noticing?
    What makes you think intelligence equals honesty?

    • Similar levels of intelligence mean you'll get along better, you're more tolerant of each other. Intelligence doesn't equal honesty I never said that, you implied it.

    Based on your writing, you don't seem all that smart.

    • What exactly in my post indicates that I'm not smart? Don't be a prick just because you can.

        You make broad generalizations about things. That is a mark of stupidity.

  • Everyone on this site has turned into such pricks, always ready to say something offending and not actually reading the question and understanding what the person is trying to say. Get over yourselves. Thanks to @jeebley for the helpful comment, the rest of you can go and eat a bag of dicks. Fuckers!

      You can't find a relationship because you are too intelligent.

      It clearly has nothing to do with the fact that you act like a fucking cunt.

      Get over yourself, you're not that special.

      • people like you who always whip out the "cunt" word are chavs who don't have a lot of words in their vocabulary, go and read a book so you can expand your vocabulary perhaps you might learn to argue without using profanity, degenerate moron with no hope.

          I'd be willing to wager he reads more than you.

          Also, telling people to argue without profanity then sledging them really does nothing for your case.

    I'm sort of the same way, but I would use the word wise rather than intelligent. I just think that being in a relationship is over-rated. A lot of the people are kidding themselves and dating people that they f***ing hate, or the relationship is really one-sided and it's totally obvious to everyone else, EXCEPT that person. I'm gay and I do like women, as a woman, but I still don't want to date. I think that there is someone good out there for everyone, but 9/10 people don't end up with that person and instead settle for people that are shitty for them, it's just a stupid game people play and I see through it a lot.

    Intelligent men do exist. However, if you think keep thinking like this, you'll never be with anyone. Since you think that women are intelligent, why don't you give them a try?

    its normal to look for someone who is in many ways similar to yourself.

    intelligence would be a big one for me, its no fun to try to talk to someone about a subject where my words just "sail over their head", so to speak.

    Also, a women who is smarter than me would not be intimidating, but if she was arrogant and acted like she was so much better than me because of it, than I would just get pissed.

    • Oh how should I have phrased my sentences to seem terribly intelligent Mr? Please inform me.

      You don't seem at all intelligent your inability to grasp a straight forward post is baffling. You don't have anything worthwhile to contribute or a valid opinion so you hurl an insult? Don't be that guy.
