<p>^^^ omg pixz :P</p>
<p>Well, I’m (currently) first in our class, and I do have a girlfriend. But, she’s also smart, but not competitive like me. She refuses to ask her counselor what her rank is, but I’m pretty sure she’s top 10. It doesn’t really ever come up when we’re together, though, except for the occasional tease.</p>
<p>My last girlfirend and I were super competative about grades, and one of our teachers said we were the most brutal he’s ever seen. I always won in Math and Science, but she cound kick my but in English and History.</p>
<p>NO, i’ve known of no valecitorian that has been in a relationship. It’s the valedictorian rules. Sex or grades?</p>
<p>yeah me either. I’m ranked two at my school and I want to keep that rank, which means I have to sacrifice having any relationships in high school. Is it true that the top ranked kids are hardly ever boy-crazy or girl-crazy?</p>
<p>Sure.
I am not THE prettiest girl at my school but…I get hit on quite a bit by guys.
My dating options are pretty limited considering I’m a lesbian and I don’t know a lot of open gay or bisexual girls…and even the ones that are open about it, they just don’t meet my standards.</p>
<p>I really don’t understand the intimidation factor. What makes a girl that’s smart and pretty and going places unapproachable by guys? Do guys just have an issue with accepting the fact that a girl might be better than them at something? Then again, that’s probably my problem.</p>
<p>Oh, and just to interject, around here, the “smart” girls are some of the nicest people I know. I always wind up getting put in that box, and guess what? A minimal amount of the girls that won’t stoop down (in terms of their intelligence) are taken. Hmph.</p>
<p>I’m not too dumb, and I’ve had the same boyfriend for over 3 1/2 years.</p>
<p>I don’t understand the intimidation factor, either. I don’t think I could be with a dumb girl. I’m glad I found a smart, amazing one. (and yes, she’s quite attractive)</p>
<p>i believe that outstanding students tend to do better in relationships because they know how to work hard for something. the people at my school have been in relationships for years are also the students who get some of the best grades…but i guess everyone at my school does.</p>
<p>I’ve never had a boyfriend. I tell myself it’s because my intelligence is intimidating… but I’ve been wrong before.
it could be my ceaseless sarcasm, too.</p>
<p>or maybe you’re just ugly most likely</p>
<p>that was mean!</p>
<p>maybe, but it’s prob. true tho</p>
<p>Let me elaborate: I get hit on. A lot. So I doubt I’m so horribly ugly that no one could date me. It’s more of a lack of people skills. Ha.</p>
<p>Case in point, i am kinda smart (2130/2400) and taken. The key is to not look smart, and just act normal to get the guy, then once you have him, let him know that you are like 10 levels above him in terms of intelligence and you can act stupid and still be right. i love it.</p>
<p>One of the hottest girls a few years before me at my high school was Valedictorian, turned down Princeton for a Jefferson Scholarship full ride to UVa, and now works as an associate editor on one of those girly magazines.</p>
<p>She probably personifies whatever you are talking about.</p>
<p>yeah, i think it pretty much is true. at least you guys aren’t taller than most of the guys like me. i’m 6’0". so that DECREASES my chances even more. (and no, I’m not a behemouth. i’m like…bmi of 19, so don’t be sarcastic and mean and say that I’m probably just a monster)</p>
<p>I’m pretty smart. 4.0 unweighted and I got a 35 on the ACT and I have a boyfriend. Oh yeah, I also run varsity cross country and track. I’m also a very talented musician. So I guess it’s possible.</p>
<p>I have a 4.0 (unweighted) with loads of college classes and other science-related programs. I’ve been in a relationship with the same guy for four and a half years, even though we both attend(ed) high schools that are/were about an hour away. We were both highly competitive, and he goes to Caltech now, and I plan on applying next year.
I mean, we are both into surfing and other sports as well. He was on the surfing team and soccer team at his high school.
All in all, I think it is possible to strive for a great school to pursue your passion and still have a boyfriend. Both of you just have to be understanding…and willing to wake up at 4 am to go to the beach and hangout sometimes.
It’s hard, but not impossible. If the passion is there, then, of course, you can make it work.</p>
<p>So, my answer is yes.</p>
