Just encourage him to read. And by reading I don't mean academic brouhaha. It also looks to me that he lacks "Street sense". |

For those of us (like me) who do not know, can you please tell us about quantum theory and special relativity? One thing I have noticed about genuinely smart people is that they don't make their smartness a subject of conversation. They even act like they don't know so as not to be accused of showing off or to intimidate. Actually, a person who shows off intelligence is very irritating and people would avoid him. I once had a mentor who always brought down colleagues and their work because he believed he had superior intelligence. I saw it as self-promotion and cut ties with him before he infected me. Truth is I knew he didn't know everything (as he told me he did), he was just a cunning manipulator. Perhaps your boyfriend is not interested in the things you are interested in and that doesn't mean he ain't smart. Find a common ground or look for someone else. 2 Likes |

You saying he is not smart because he is less of a talker is rather too much. I advice you read 1Corinthians 13. .. "Love bears all" |

Ezemeiyogu:Op listen to this fellow Nobody is perfect Talk about his flaws with him but the approach is the most important,if u take a mature or better still a romantic approach to it u would fix him and it relationship would be even more stable. Let me assume he loves football,how about u start engaging him on that,even if u don't know any football star besides Kanu and Okocha let him do the talking,find out the things he likes and allow him express himself and even if it doesn't interest u just find a way to keep the conversation going. 2 Likes |

As this world is going, it seems God will eventually provide dust for all of us to build the kind of man or woman that we want. Just kidding. You cannot find a perfect being. If you truly love him, help his weaknesses. Thank God, he's not exhibiting some crazy unnegotiable traits like anger, hatred, cheating. If he can graduate with flying colours, he's not dumb except if he bribed his way out of the University. I have a problem with people who are not flexible, believing they are living the best version of their lives at the moment. So, no room for improvement. But, if your boyfriend is someone always open to learning, challenge him. Like, buy a book, read it and give him to read too. Tell him both of you will discuss the book after reading it. I know many wives who initially hate sports but their men find ways to initiate them. I know men who hate local movies but their wives influence them. Remember, some are book smart but not interested in current affairs. Some are introverts, they have a lot to say but just keep it to themselves. If your boyfriend is a rigid type, then he might not change. So, you may have to decide if you can cope with him. There is a difference between being principled and rigid. You want a principled partner, not a rigid type that will tell you my way or no way. Remember, the next guy may be highly smart but promiscuous. |

Lol. One major thing that discourages me from toasting a random chick then. She'll have an exceptional exterior but the interior is totally empty. Big time deal breaker. Op. Run comot. Except you're ready for more frustrations. Such people need to digest random topics, build vocabularies, feel free with you (not shy or tensed), debate openly (without attacking the personality, "agumentum adhominem"). To be a good partner, be a good conversationalist. Talk with contents. No sign language. |

cynosuree: I get your point. It will have been better if you know how to compliment this down side of your relationship that is you keep the chat flowing. Trust me it will bring out the deep side of him. I also think you should open with him on this issue because relationship should be about communication |

cynosuree: In life, it's not about what you say. It's about how you say it. What is his habit? What does he do at his leisure hours? Does he read books, news or watch programs/shows on TV that enlighten one about what's happening in the society? To excel in school, you just have to read the textbook diligently. To excel in life, you have to read and watch everything you can come across. Is he willing to learn new things, read and watch stuffs online? If he is willing then u don't have a problem. You can make him adjust. You can refer a book, program or video for him to watch and you tell him that the two of you will discuss about the book/video in the evening. That way, you have helped him to be better in life. If he finds it difficult to read and comprehend whereas he flaunts a good certificate, you don't need a soothsayer to tell u he bought his certificate. That's when u can walk away. 2 Likes |

How old are you both? Hmm. Don't know how to deal with this but, i could reckon you both might be products of these new private schools on Ibadan express. First, when you go through school, reading to pass exams and have good grades; you lose out from the education of life. And you'd have nothing to contribute when life throws the first tests at you. Start by telling your boyfriend your observations. Secondly, either get him to watch more CNN, read TIme magazines, get on Twitter. Etc. Let him immerse himself in current topical issues. Thirdly, push him into the streets. |
