Do you think that the very intelligent people can not love any one truly?  

Summerchick, Of course most of the intelligent people are happily married. But their love to their spouses may be less than the love their spouses have on them. Most women are attracted to intelligent men, so they love more sincerely and save the marriages. Any marriage can be saved if one of the two is sacrificing and adjustable.

yes, I do agree that even intelligent people are in love. But may be their love may not be that strong as the love of average or less intelligent people.

This is actually a really interesting topic because well, what is intelligent? Who says Who is intelligent? I have a person who is very close to my heart who claims to be the most intelligent man in the world. He is very street smart, I will give him that, and A LOT of people go to him for advice, however if he has never heard of something before, then well it doesn't exist. Some of our mutual friends call him intelligent, I call him smart and some what full of himself.

However on the flip side: Are the egg heads in nasa and people like Einstein truly intelligent or just stuck in one niche of their brains?

If you are too intelligent you would become very practical. When you think a lot you can't love a person just blindly. The so called true love means simply love a person bindly as he/she is with out reasoning. Unless your partner is truly good and sacrificing you won't fall for a serious relationships.

Love consists of physical factors a lot. All people whether intelligent or not are after physical factors, after all man is a cultured animal who came from jungles.

Well I have to disagree with the jungle thing. If I believed that I would have to give up my belief in God and that will never happen.

I am not so sure about your definition of intelligent. I agree that the more intelligent you are the more you will reason things out but that does not mean that person would have to be so into them self that they would loose all trust in another person. What you describe, at least the way I see it, is not necessarily that the person is intelligent but that they are self absorbed. To love someone, by definition, is to care for that person because of the type of person they are and not because they are subservient to you.

It does not take intelligence to be over analytical and self absorbed. Of course this is true of some intelligent people but it can describe almost anyone.

I am not saying that intelligent people will never love any one. But the love of intelligent persons may not be that strong as the love of ordinary people.

I am happy that you agree frankly that you are making calculations in a relationship. Nothing wrong, I would have made such calculations too some even with out my knowledge.

We all have some expectations from others, even in relationships. many people say that if there is calculation then it is not love. even they would have chosen their partners with some expectations.

In India in villages there is more love than in cities. You know why? As long as they are ignorant cunning thoughts will not come to you. When you become more and knwoledgeble you become different.

This is a thought.

I totally agree with you, in fact, I would think that people who are dumb are less capable of loving because they don't have the intellectual capacity to empathize with their partner. Empathy requires intelligence, so I would say that love is a sign of intelligence, at least in the area of interpersonal relationships.

@Bishounennerd and kafros:

Intelligent people can also love truly, no doubts. When compared with the love of an ordinary person, it may be less.

Where do see high rate of divorces? cities or villages?

Educated persons go for divorce in large numbers? or uneducated?

let us think in that angle too, pals.

Coco, I agree with you, I think I'm very self-centered, but I do have emotions, but I feel it hard to love a man who I don't like from the first sight. So that's why I'm still single even if I've already had several bfs. But I will have to change myself in thinking and evaluating persons. I hope I could find someone to marry. :)

@maggie and myname:

Yes, I do agree intelligent people are also in love. Who can live with out love in this world?

I just wanted to know whether their love is less than the love of ordinary people.

I do agree intelligent people are also in true love.If their partners are loving them much more.

YES, xXTrizzlexx, I do agree with you that intelligent people are also capable of loving. Are they capable of loving more than ordinary people? hehehehe. just thinking...

I like the Royal example given by you. Can you tell me who is more intelligent between the two?

Let us assume the prince is, then Camilla's love is much greater than Charles'.

can you agree with that dear friend?

I don't think so,as far as i know they really loved each other,see how prince Charles married Camilla,not considering his son's feelings.
