Sucks. She's easily one of the most intelligent people you would ever meet. Spent years as a public defender, then went to medical school to become a doc. And yet, she thinks socialism is the root of all evil. I've been talking to her for months. First time we talk politics, and it's soul crushing. Argentina is tough. Most women I talk to are peronists, which is worse than US lib IMO. IDK how I will recover, I was so emotionally invested 😭

Nothing about intelligence, but conservatives tend to have more parental resources for education and thus advanced degrees. I used to be attracted to the women with the biggest, most posh education and I fell into this problem in my dating days. Given that's she's a doctor AND a lawyer, there's no way parents didn't help out with uni fees and likely much more.

A public defender at that lol. I don’t know how well paid Argentine lawyers are, but in the US you’ll be lucky to catch a couple hours sleep and some groceries after a paycheck

Intelligence != education

Only becomes more clear the more educated you are.

For people not paying attention, educational achievement can be an easy marker for intelligence. But of course you're right.
