several times i've had the chance to be with someone only to decide against it because we did not have similar levels of intelligence. i had a hard time letting myself consider that an acceptable reason to not pursue relationships.
Well what is an acceptable reason then? If you don't like someone, you don't like them. You don't have to deliberate over the reasons and try to justify it. A relationship is a mutual condition, and there is no reason that is unacceptable for breaking it off; standards differ between people (someone might think you're shallow if you break it off because of looks, or whatever) but it's a personal choice and the opinions of other people, aside from that of the other person in the relationship mean jack shit.
