Do you still have intellectual conversations with your significant other/boyfriend ?

Why is it that after awhile couples stop talking about intellectual topics? I hear men saying : “ ‘my wife or gf is not my intellectual equal” Well, dude wake-up, maybe it is because you stopped talking to her about interesting topics. Now suddenly you find other women more attractive because you think they are smarter. Look inside - it is you - she is smarter than you think. She has always been. You just stopped paying attention - please talk to her again.

(This is not intended to be sexist , i get that it can be the other way around too.)

Men aren't instinctual listeners. That's the problem. Plus, they're trained throughout life that asking women open-ended questions can be very dangerous.

@SW-User wrong
@SW-User i have always asked women in my life open ended questions. nothing more boring than a woman in a box or cage, or on a pedestal.

@SW-User @CopperCicada she didn't ask what "I" am, nor did I answer the question that way.

She asked, basically, why men shut down. I gave two common causes
@SW-User the question was in the 2nd person so i responded in the 1st person. *shrug*
