I live in a community with lots of people with very high IQ's, advanced degrees, and executive positions. Many of them also have a very high EQ along with their high IQ. These are impressive accomplished people.
But with the high level of intelligence and success comes a huge ego and needs. If you think- and know- you are very impressive, finding someone you think is an equal is really hard. Most people are not going to satisfy you emotionally, physically and intellectually.
Can anyone relate? (The happiest relationships I know about are two simple working class people who love everyone and have below average smarts.)
No, I never had this problem. My wife is way smarter than I am in some areas, and I am smarter than her in others. Across the board it balances out and we complement each other nicely.
I think everybody has something else to offer. Everybody knows something I don't know.
The smartest people I know share common characteristics,
For example, They have hidden skills that never get rolled out until they’re needed. They don’t have any need to show their full capabilities for reasons of proving they’re better than others.
They never, ever, under any circumstances, make you look stupid, even though it would be easy to do so.

You don't have to have an advanced degree or PhD to have a high IQ. When you have a high IQ you know, that pursuing a PhD and/or working in academics is a waste of time. But, yeah, those people most likely have a huge ego. That's why it's hard for them to find a partner. They're not looking for love, they are too obsessed with their status. Love? Ain't nobody got time for that.
