Oh, I believe you. But I do note that you didn't say "The exceptionally intelligent woman at the party last night was quite impressed."
That's because talking to exceptionally intelligent women is the norm and so much of a given that it is assumed and taken for granted.
At least in the circles that TD and I run in.
Funny that you should have to mention what we take for granted.
Maybe that's because in your dating life you have to rely on pictures and cams to see your dates and you can't even be sure that they are, indeed, women.
