Aight so in a relationship, would it matter if the girl is academically smarter than the guy?
Maybe BA(female) vs no high school(male) counts more than PhD(female) vs BA(male). Thinking about it I do have a friend that hasn't finished high school and it seemed like he felt bad/inferior when his now ex girlfriend graduated from her MSc...
Hermione and Ron seemed to have managed just fine.
In the end, Hermione and Ron managed just fine. Apparently they had a couple of kids or whatnot.If I recall correctly Ron was extremely annoyed at the fact that Hermione is extremely intelligent, flaunted it and related that to her not having any friends in the 1st grade.
So my friend, I should point out that you have not recalled properly.

(Honestly that's my least favorite pairing and that post was very tongue-and-cheek just because they make no sense to me. :|)

For a more serious answer, it depends on the people involved. Just because the girl is strong academically doesn't mean that she is strong...well, anywhere else. I've always been in the position where I AM more academically inclined (and confident in that area) than my partners, but I tend to lack other talents (remembering to eat!) Sometimes this has been to our detriment and the male feels incompetent and very sensitive (which is terrible because I like helping people study/proofread/etc and they don't let me help them if they're bitter.)
In other circumstances, the guy has been more confident in what he IS better than me at; fixing a car, cooking, being thoughtful, doing art, making movies, having a work ethic, etc. When the guy is confident and recognizes his strengths and my weaknesses and vice versa, the relationship can flourish and we can learn from each other and encourage each other along the way. This is obviously the kind I prefer. I like to be able to learn from my partner and teach them as well.
No, unless the difference is enormous
