hmmm... hi gagan!
no i would not be turned off with a smart guy, by his smartness per se. i will be turned off if he is smart and yet arrogant and proud. i am not a dumb-dumb, probably i can say my intelligence is above average. so i would also like a smart guy, someone i can talk to with intelligent things and who can laugh at intellectual jokes. but i am not a geek. so i also don't want a geeky guy for my partner.
there is nothing wrong with an extremely smart person for that matter, as long as our personalities jive. :-)
good day and God blessyou!

That would all depend on how he treats her and treats others.
Intelligence and wisdom aren't the same thing.
If his intelligence gives him a superiority complex where he feels a sense of entitlement to belittle or dismiss other people including her, it's embarrasing to be associated with him and it's demeaning to her.
If she's made to feel that what she thinks, what she feels, what she does is of little consequence because she's not a genius, borderline or otherwise, than she's a fool to stay with him. She deserves someone who cares about what she thinks, feels and does. Those things maker her who she is and they absolutely matter. If a genius can't see that then he is an idiot after all.
