[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Book smart is not smart. I think you are giving yourself way too much credit.

1/2 my family is super book smart but dumb AF

The rest (mostly dyslexic) are not book smart but highly smart.

The “book smart” crew can be exhausting and boring.

I suggest being less “book smart” and trying to be a little more interesting

What talents do you have besides reading books and discussing that information.[/quote]

I'm book smart, a long term strategic thinker, and a fairly good debater.
He's good with mechanical systems- appliances, stereos, etc. He can put most things together without directions.
In terms of socializing, I'm slightly more "interesting", but mostly because I'm more confident in new social circles and can jump start conversations.
I am better at reading people, their motives, and what's said between the lines. He is better at reading situations and notices very subtle changes in the environment.[/quote]

You guys sound just like my family.

But really the non book smart people in my family are way more interesting they have more real life knowledge.

One just finished the App trail (in September) another saves wild birds, another studies reptiles, one builds furniture.

My brother telling a real life story about the  guy that he was fixing small farm equipment with (a hobby he does) is way more interesting than discussing whether the man in Moscow book was as impressive as the the reviews and what my thoughts are on his relationship with the actress.

Both discussions I’ve had in the past month.

I really don’t think the “book smart” group get how droll they can be.

I suspect your H just got bored.
