I don't know what it is about listening to someone who really knows their shit that just amazes me (and sometimes makes them seem instantly way more attractive  ). Especially at work; I have so much respect for people who know the nuances of their jobs inside and out.
What would you be an expert in? I think mine would be geography or languages, although I'm one of those people who knows a little about a lot  |

I went on 2 dates with a PHD student who was researching something complex, complicated and would help make a difference. Definitely a smarty pants and was pretty boastful about it.
Her one comment I recall vividly was:
“I bet I’m by far the cleverest person you’ve ever met” sadly humility wasn’t her strong point. Haha |

Tbh if I was getting a doctorate I'd probably boast about it too  |

I'm a bit like that. I find it prettt cool when someone knows there stuff.
I'm not an expert in anything but I know a little about a lot of that makes sense. Like how to strip and rebuild an old engine through to how to preserve bones for educational use lol. |

We found, even though you are well qualified and pretty good at what you do, talking about your job when out is tiresome.
When we go to the pub we want to engage in pub talk.
Meaning utter shit.
We have to be professional and knowledgeable all day, not when we go out.
I also envy others, watched a man rebuilding a sandstone wall as I drove past each day, what a skill, a thing of beauty once finished.

Nothing better than someone that knows their stuff, whatever it may be. I’m still studying and have lots more to learn about psychology but one day I hope to be able to seduce someone into bed with my knowledge haha! Until then, I tend not to chat about my specialty of tax and accountancy as it bores the life from me haha |

This is why i like reading/listening to Chomsky.
He has an encyclopedic knowledge of american foreign policy..
Knowledge that simply isn't taught to people, for the most part. |

I used to hang out with a guy i can only describe as a genius, He was at the time doing semiconductor research that was part funded by NASA and was effectively a good ten years ahead of anything computery in most of the rest of the world.
Outside of this realm though, total fucking moron- couldn't sort out the simplest adulting shit like going to the shop for more than 1 item or cooking oven chips without the fire brigade having to help out |

I used to work at the national physical laboratory in Teddington.
There was a guy there who was a fricking genius but had zero common sense.
He was just on such a different level to anyone else he simply couldn't converse with mere mortals.

I know a lot about software testing principles and quality assurance but wouldn't say it's a passion, just stuff I've picked up through work.
In terms of passions I know a lot of football, cricket, and recently learning more about coffee |

Science may be my specialist subject, but I am knowledgeable and passionate on many more. Just not usually seen on here as they're not common subjects. |

I loved Anne McCaffrey books as a teenager. Perhaps I should get back into her books, she just have written loads in the past couple of decades. |

Science is such a wide field. Are interested in a particular area ? Love to hear more about the uncommon topics you’re interested in. |
