It seems he is drawn to women who have doctorates in the humanities who can spar with him intellectually. It seems like a reasonable wish on his part.
Not to me. Sparring is for the boxing ring. Thoughtful discussions are for the intellect. Intellectual sparring is a euphimism in their minds for the infantile desire to dominate another.
Mud, actually he seems to want someone who is brilliant like he is and very attractive to him.
Then he should go F himself because who is as brilliant as he is and who is as attractive to himself as the guy in the mirror?
Who the heck cares what he wants? What do
you want; a bum who makes you literally pull your hair out or somebody who values you just the way you are?
BTW, its been my experience that most of these people aren't nearly as smart as they fool others (and themselves) into believing. They have facile minds and are quick witted, hence their proclivity for 'intellectual sparring' but there is no depth to their intellect. There is no wisdom, no discernment. Intellect without wisdom or compassion gave us people like Marx and Nietzsche and all the loveliness that followed them. Most Ns are similar, they just operate on a smaller scale leaving a personal path of destruction not a worldwide one.
They know but they don't understand.
Solomon said, "Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all thy getting, get understanding."
And he was right. With a little more understanding I think you'll see just what a harmful dork this guy is and how fortunate you are that he did not appreciate you. A bald spot, which after all grows back (well maybe not for me
), is a lot cheaper than the bill that comes due if they really get their hooks in you permanently.
