Actually, it's a pretty good example, I think, of how you pay more attention to the boring business crap I care about, even though we already have pretty big overlaps in professional interests. I certainly feel like you value me, and that you value my skills, even though it could be said that you are, uh, more technically skilled than I am.
I was mostly speaking out of past relationship experiences... at one point I was seeing a student- a psychology major, even. She thought my skills and interests were, well, kindof dumb, and I felt the same way
about hers (I was, uh, quite a lot younger than I am now.) I think the relationship lasted all of two months, and it is pretty amazing, considering how little we were willing to value the mental aspects of the other, that it lasted that long.
