Regarding a certain decision, among other things...

[ikemenice]

"Enhanced Intelligence" is far too much of a blanket term, mundane. You will need something more specific, and likely one or two examples of both my dealing with it and limitations.
For one, head aches are commonly associated with super-intelligence; as are things such as extreme mental duress and needing more rest than others.

Also, I have no time for your shenanigans, mundane. Experiencing a relationship is of little interest to me. I would much rather study them.

Sometimes the best way to learn is through experience!

[ikemenice]

I have no interest in experience. I merely wish to study.

[markedviolin]

Now, now. That's no way to live. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," as they say.

[ikemenice]

Then I would rather be a dull boy.

And besides; it has been proven through multiple studies that everyone has a distinct style of learning that fall into three categories - visual, auditory, and kinetic.

What you describe is kinetic - learning through doing, or a hands on experience.

My learning style is primarily visual - I learn through reading.

[markedviolin]

Well, better "dull boy" than "mere toy", I suppose...

I see... My apologies. I shouldn't make assumptions. I just... well. It's completely different to read about things than to actually experience them. Especially when it comes to things like relationships.

[ikemenice]

I have never met a person who makes me want to put down my book, and I have a feeling I never will.

So, experiencing one is out of the question anyway.

[Sorry about the coldness thing, Marie.]

[It's okay, he's a Diamond Dust kid.]

You can't say for certain. It might not happen, but then again, it might. You can't rule it out entirely!

[ikemenice]

I have never met a single person like that.

That means that out of approximately...

... Factoring in people I have never spoken to but seen as a probability due to initial attractiveness, I would say over one thousand people.

So, out of over one thousand people, I have never been attracted to a single one.
The chances of me finding someone I would genuinely be attracted to are highly unlikely.

The sociological aspect is rather fascinating, isn't it? [Disregarding the fact that he might eventually be in a relationship himself.]

[ikemenice]

Indeed - in fact, I have been researching it recently myself. There are far too many books on the subject that aren't what I'm looking for, however.

Finding a neat and concise book about relationships and their affect on humans as a society and as individuals is proving to be difficult.
... And romance novels only give so much information.

[doingthemistything]

Romance novels tend to be... well. Romanticized, if you'll forgive the wording. The subject as a whole is rather messy, to say the very least.

[ikemenice]

The pun is forgiven.

Though, it is possible to glean information from a novel.
It just... depends on which novel. I really, really, really urge you to stay away from many of the currently popular titles.

[doingthemistything]

Duly noted. My taste in literature can be considered a little more old-fashioned, anyway.

[ikemenice]

Shakespearean, I'll assume?

[doingthemistything]

Mmn. Not quite that far back.

[ikemenice]

I see.

Either way, you prefer literature that is considered much more sophisticated than what is currently popular, correct?

[doingthemistything]

Correct. There are some gems in the more modern titles, but they're few and far between, it would seem... Disappointing, really.

[ikemenice]

In this case I would advice you to write your own, if you were older.

The chances of a young boy being published is slim.
