"10 points below Forrest Gump" puts her at 65, which is severely impaired intelligence by any test's standards. I just don't think I could date someone with an IQ significantly lower than half of mine. It's not simply a matter of intelligence to me, but someone with that kind of impairment. observes and comprehends the world around them on a fundamentally different level. I seriously doubt that she would be capable of the same level of emotional maturity, judgment, and critical thinking. To me, I would feel like that sort of relationship is on the same ethical level of pedophilia -- not the guy who kidnaps and murders young children, but the NAMBLA ones who say that their desire for relationships with prepubescent children is normal and healthy for both them and the children. Maybe someone with severe impairment won't grow out of emotional immaturity and incomplete psychological development to the point that they'll suffer the same psychological harm as an adult, but it's inherently exploitative for the same reason that sexual relationships between adults and children (up to mid teens) are abusive. There is a chance that there will be no lasting harm, but the power imbalance between the two of them is so great that I couldn't consider it healthy.
