Tolstoy once wrote that "nothing is so necessary for a young man as the company of intelligent women."
Why do you think this is so? What should those who are deprived of this necessity do?

I'm feeling okay. Just a little sad because around my girlfriend I dont talk much and she says it makes her feel weird and she's really sad in general and feels like she's not that close to me. I'm less attached to her than she thinks but it's all really sad anyways.
