<p>haha ive never had a gf and my grades suck. all boy schools suck.</p>
<p>Uh, I’m intelligent and taken for the past year and some days.
Long distance, too!</p>
<p>I don’t think that stuff matters. You can be smart or stupid or average or whatever and if you love someone (queue sappy music), it shouldn’t make a difference.
People, especially on CC…, need to realize that while academics are very important, maintaining an at least almost healthy social life is also nice. Forming and keeping relationships is a very useful skill to have.</p>
<p>SAy we to say that we are all girls here?</p>
<p>im smart …not genius but pretty good… im pimpin the hoes…if that what u wanna call it</p>
<p>Haha pimpin the hoes</p>
<p>one of my good friends isnt a val, but hes easily top5%, prolly 4.3 gpa with 2100+ on SATs… hes also being recruited by D1 schools for gymnastics and finised top 100 at nationals even tho he ****ed up</p>
<p>hes had the same gf for about a year now so yea, it happens</p>
<p>and smart girls, dont give urselves too much credit… most guys rnt that intimidated by girls that r smarter than them</p>
<p>In my high school 4 of the top 5 students are female. Being smart might have some stigma for females in high school, but I’m not worried about that at a University setting.</p>
<p>With all the two income families around now, smart girls stock has risen. All of a sudden in college it’s not a bad thing to have a smart girl friend. </p>
<p>All things being equal, I think relationships are much less supeficial the older you get. Personality, humor, the other intangibles start to matter alot more than just looks.</p>
<p>hsseniorlooking, your prudent insight empowers and inspires me in the sense that my itching for college has gotten even worse. Thanks, but seriously, I just can’t wait to see how college will turn out in terms of romance. </p>
<p>Come to think of it, a really smart girl is almost unapproachable and seen as psychotic and too self righteous. That’s how it’s like at my school. Being in AP classes, making great grades, and at the same time juggling ECs while fighting your menstrual cycle doesn’t get you as much respect as you hoped for.</p>
<p>amen to that, righteous.</p>
<p>agreed…</p>
<p>wow, i really hope that you are right that it gets better in college. I just got dumped for some stupid underclassman. or rather, woman. child. whatever.</p>
<p>I want a gf who’s smarter than me…</p>
<p>I’m arguably a smart girl – I get good grades in the IB Diploma, got a 1560/1600 or 2270/2400 on the SAT, am fluent in three languages and learning a fourth, and so on – and I’ve never had a boyfriend, kissed, or been on a date. I used to agonize about it, but right now I honestly don’t mind being single, although I do hope it’ll change in college.</p>
<p>Possible reasons:
- I honestly don’t meet guys that often. I go to a tiny private high school with 50 students in my grade, the majority of whom are girls. Most of my activities outside of school are female-dominated.
- Even though I’m very talkative with close friends, I’m shy around people I don’t know well. Sometimes I probably seem uptight.
- I like to party, but my parents are ridiculously strict, so I don’t get out often. When I do drink, I’m relaxed and sociable and get much more attention from guys, but I never know if they mean anything by it.
- On that note, I’m terrible at “reading” guys – I never know if they’re flirting with me or only trying to be nice. My friends tell me guys hit on me all the time, but I’ve honestly never noticed. :o
- I used to have serious self-esteem issues when I was younger. I’m better now, but I still get self-conscious about flirting or drawing attention to myself. I’m not an overtly sexual person; if guys could read my mind, they’d probably be surprised.
- At 5’6 and <110 pounds, I have a figure more like Keira Knightley’s than Adriana Lima’s. I’m not “hot,” but in the right light I can pass for pretty. Right now I’m not sure that’s enough.</p>
<p>I think I’m just bad at romance in general. :p</p>
<p>I think it totally depends on the enviorment. For example my hs is not that competitive. So being smart is seen somewhat as a strange thing. I’m smart and I mean I’m basically good with everyone, I have friends in a lot of different groups, but the only boys that seem to like me are odd ones. <em>shrug</em> I have time. </p>
<p>My point being if you go to a more competitive hs where everyone has college goals and everyone has goals for top colleges and takes AP courses and that type of thing I’d think it would be easier because there would be more smart guys to choose from.</p>
<p>Did I mention that out of 20-30 students in my four honors classes there are less than 10 guys in each?</p>
<p>who are you and where do you live?!
wow…a guy who wants a smart g/f. All of my ex’s and past love interests go for idiots.</p>
<p>btw ^, i was referring to cameliasinensis. lol.</p>
<p>Well, I’m 5th in my class and have been seeing my boyfriend since 9th grade (2 1/2 years). He’s graduating this year and is valedictorian.
Of course, there’s the fact that I go to a small girl’s boarding school, that my boyfriend goes to boarding school, too (in C.T.), and that we only see each other in person once in a while… I guess that we each know the other is smart, but it’s not as in-your-face as it would be if we attended the same school.</p>
<p>All of your experiences seem pretty strange to me… Our valedictorian dates quite a bit, and she is hit with the double stereotype of Asianess and femaleness. I think the top 5 are all female, and all of us date-- in two cases, the same boyfriend for over two years. If there’s any correlation between singleness and academic success (not necessarily intelligence, mind you), I’ve seen it more for males… who in my school tend to be very odd. </p>
<p>At any rate, academically proficient girls here usually get out quite a bit… Many of the top 20ish girls are very well-rounded, athletic, and reasonably cute. I’m probably the nerdiest/oddest girl of the entire top 50, actually, but I’m cheerily taken. Mayhap dating is just more common at my school…</p>
<p>Granted, what I have noticed is that high-achieving females tend to be dismissed as “studious” or even denigrated as “grade-grubbers” whereas boys of similar ranks are praised as “smart.” But that’s another issue entirely.</p>
<p>I see “smart” people date all the time, and I never really thought that academic acheivers had less of a romantic life than any others… I believe everyone in my school’s top 20 has been in/is in a relationship, and the Vale and Salu are two of the most outgoing and flirtatious guys in the school.</p>
<p>I don’t think anyone is intimidated by smart girls either at my school :] guess that’s nice… but I really don’t understand why this was asked. It feels like it’s just a myth that boys are scared of smart girls… it seems to be played up in pop culture but I’ve never seen an example of it.</p>
<p>Well, Bill Gates is taken, isn’t he. :D</p>
