As much as intelligence has positive consequences, it can also represent a great burden. If you're looking for love but can't find it, your intelligence may be to blame.
Being single doesn't have to be a terrible experience, it's a time when you think about yourself and find out who the perfect partner is for you. Those people who are more intelligent very often settle down late because they take their time in finding true love. The answer to the question why this is so is hidden in six reasons.
1. Intelligent people know themselves
Intelligent people are very aware of what they like and what they don't like. They are quicker to say (compared to less intelligent people) if they like someone, which means they won't waste a lot of time getting to know each other. After the first date, they know if it's for them or not. Intelligent people 'can't just be with anyone', they need the right connection.
2. Intelligent people have special requirements
Intelligent people know exactly what they are looking for in a partner. This means that they are not concerned with getting to know the person, but with whether he meets their criteria. This can be a very time-consuming process. A person who does not meet these requirements does not get a second chance.
3. Not many people match their intelligence
Having a similar 'intelligence level' is important for intelligent people. Nobody likes a know-it-all, so they like to be on the same wavelength. An intelligent person wants a quality conversation. Most people won't be able to follow their conversation topics. Being mentally attractive is more important than physical attractiveness.
4. Intelligent people need constant brain stimulation
Boredom is a serious problem for intelligent people because they lose interest in a particular thing after reaching the end of it. Intelligent people need to be constantly introduced to new ideas and thoughts.
5. Intelligence is a big burden
Intelligent people tend to think things through. They spend a lot of time alone while analyzing their thoughts, so they need someone who is like-minded.
6. You find it difficult to lie to intelligent people
An intelligent person needs an honest person. Intelligence has nothing to do with morality, but smart people know who is lying. A liar and an intelligent person are hard together.
