This applies to everything . . . Look, some of you are so caught up in your own independence (which is great) that you've taken to sweeping generalizations that simply may not be acccurate.
I've found that IQ and EQ (as AKA_Monet wisely put it) don't necessarily correlate very often - so when I'm seeking out someone to date, I'm looking for an emotional intelligence first, then an intellect. I don't need to discuss the finer points of string theory over drinks, but there will most likely be a time I need to discuss relationship issues. This is not to abase or somehow deny intelligent women - trust me, that's pretty cool no matter what - but rather to show that many factors come into play beyond what we've pointed out here.
Know your stuff . . . whether you're arguing sports, game theory, world events, or the direction of a relationship. Your masters in electrical engineering is pretty meaningless when the only level on which we can communicate is that of the text book - and this applies to the dudes as well, regardless of the standard.
