    maybe it's different for girls...since we girls like to talk...and talk...and talk...and talk.

    And this person is definitely fun to hang out with...and a genuinely great person.

    yeah maybe. i do have a couple of friends I can talk to if I wanted to, but they are girls.

    This is going to come across as harsh and completely rude. I apologize but I'm hoping someone out there will understand. Does anyone else have a friend that maybe isn't the sharpest tool in the shed? Now I definitely don't claim to be a genius or an Ivy league grad...but I have a friend that I get frustrated with on occasion. S/he is perhaps the world's kindest person and would do anything for anyone...and I truly and genuinely love this person. However, I feel like I just can't talk to them or have a meaningful conversation.

    Is this making any sense? I guess what I'm trying to say is I get frustrated and am mad at myself for not having much patience with my friend.

    i know what you mean
    it bugs me to have to 'dumbmyself down' to talk to certain people

    I would appreciate someone like that... although, I suppose, the conversations would more or less need to kept towards the simplier things in life. Sounds like the type of person it would be fun to take to places like Art Museums and tide pools... you know, as learning experiences.

    That makes perfect sense. I had a friend like that as well. Basically I just figured out a balancing point between us. I mean he had nobody around for a while, and I was the only guy that stuck around with him. We were roommates for basketball on roadtrips so I got to know him and everything really well and it just lasted.

    However I had to learn to be a close friend from a distance with him and realize that just when I needed a night out for fun without thinking and just being immature and stupid for a night was the best time seeing him, but then making him come to me only when he really needed me. I just became busy with other things, rather than spending every day hanging out.

    After a couple days of hanging out, it just became way too frustrating. He was the kind that thought he was amazingly smart, but just wasn't all there, so it became hard to even refute anything with him, so I would just let him go on. His family is the greatest though. They're all brilliant in their own ways, and then they had him. :p

    I guess I just lucked out and found that balancing point, although the older we get now, the farther the gap between the times we talk/see each other.

    i have a friend , a very good friend that is a complete idiot. in every way shape and form. god love him, he's just dumb as a box of rocks sometimes.
    he has the IQ of a soap dish, but he is a really good guy.
    Peace, Love.

    Never been near a university... Never took a paper or a learned degree.
    And some of your friends think that's stupid of me, But it's nothing that I care about.

    Well I don't know how to tell the weight of the sun And of mathematics well I want none.
    And I may be the Mayor of Simpleton, But I know one thing, And that's I love you.
    When their logic grows cold and all thinking gets done, You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton.

    I can't have been there when brains were handed round
    (please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton),
    Or get past the cover of your books profound,
    (please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton),
    And some of your friends thinks it's really unsound,
    That you're ever seen talking to me.

    Well I don't know how to write a big hit song, And all crossword puzzles well I just shun.
    And I may be the Mayor of Simpleton, But I know one thing, And that's I love you.

    I'm not proud of the fact that I never learned much, Just feel I should say,
    What you get is all real, I can't put on an act, It takes brains to do that anyway. (And anyway...)

    And I can't unravel riddles, problems and puns, Or how the home computer has me on the run.
    And I may be the Mayor of Simpleton, But I know one thing, And that's I love you (I love you).

    If depth of feeling is a currency,
    (please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton),
    Then I'm the man who grew the money tree,
    (no Chain of Office and no hope of getting one).
    Some of your friends are too brainy to see, That they're paupers and that's how they'll stay.

    Well I don't know how many pounds make up a ton, Of all the Nobel prizes that I've never won.
    And I may be the Mayor of Simpleton, But I know one thing, And that's I love you.

    When all logic grows cold and all thinking gets done,
    You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton.
    You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton.
    You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor.

    Well, everyone has his or her own field(s) of smarts and knowledge, I'm sure your friend has some smarts in areas that you don't understand. I have a friend whose has a lot of knowledge about weapons, arms, and military issues but is brain-dead about music and arts. Another is smart about reptiles and amphibians but knows nothing about sports.

    Me, I "think" I know alot about music, arts, sports and literature but I'm pretty I might come off as a total idiot as far as military and reptiles are concern.
