<p>lol Stupidestofthesmart - I dig the username - I can relate, around HERE anyways… :</p>
<p>it seems like the guys doesn’t care but all the girls prefer guys who are smarter then themselves.</p>
<p>as long as a chick is sweet, understanding, and not a ditz, I’d date her.</p>
<p>as long as a chick is sweet and I can have a real conversation with her, I’ll date her. lol then again I’m not easily understood and I’ve never had a girlfriend (senior year + car +social life = girlfriend !). </p>
<p>such an idealist… :-P</p>
<p>The guys at my school need a girl who’s smarter than them to keep them grounded…or else they’d be off getting stoned.</p>
<p>That is a tough question because it is difficult to label someone as smarter or not as smart as someone else. It’s really nice when I find someone who I have the same interests as, which means there is almost always something to talk about. I’m a male, and I would date a girl if I could carry an intelligent conversation with her, and she has an attractive personality. I’m not sure what it is, but I’m attracted to girls that are very social, but independent (like me).</p>
<p>As long as I can hold an intelligent conversation with the girl, I will date her.</p>
<p>Man, this question really brings out our egos! My first thought was, “Well, I don’t have any choice.” Anyway, I’d want somebody in the same range. I’ve had my share of boyfriends who just want to make out and watch movies, and have absolutely no interest in academics or politics or anything vaguely intellectual. I get bored pretty quick. Mostly, I think I need a guy with similar interests more than similar intelligence, but they probably go together somewhat. I guess I count as a no–but I don’t want somebody smarter than me either. My ego needs its space.</p>
<p>I know some ppl will start thinking I’m homosexual or something, but I’m a guy and I find myself being only interested in girls of equal or higher intelligence than me. I guess you can call this shallow, but liking someone for looks is shallow too i guess.</p>
<p>^<em>^ As long he is funny and he knows how to treat a girl I wouldn’t mind if he is dumb or smart. I mean he has to know how to work things out. ^</em>____^ That reminds “I need a soldier in here! Who’s going to take care of me! !” xP!</p>
<p>guy. I would like someone intelligent, but it seems Intelligence correlates often with Control-ness, Egotistic, Nerdy, Overambitious, etc…
but if she had the same positive qualities. i would prefer smart. atleast she’d understand what String Theory even is.</p>
<p>just a sub-poll here for the girls, would you rather date a guy who is 5’6" but smart (Princeton guy), or a 6’0" who is not as smart (SDSU guy). assuming both had the same other qualities/personality.</p>
<p>Which one knows how to use his brain more?</p>
<p>errr… as in SMARTer, than the short guy.
both are same in Looks, Nice, Funny, etc. but one is more succesful and makes slightly wittier jokes… haha</p>
<p>the smarter, shorter one hehe</p>
<p>SDSU…?</p>
<p>I’m a guy.</p>
<p>If she can hold an intelligent conversation, isn’t some skank, and is pretty relaxed, I would go for it.</p>
<p>I truly don’t know what “smart” is (seems to be a very relative term), and I tend to look at the good side in people, so yeah, I’d definitely date a girl who isn’t as “smart” as me.</p>
<p>5’6 is plenty tall for me… =P
I’ve had a weird habit of dating guys that are smarter than me… their personalities are all great, but their looks vary…
I don’t think I’d have a problem going for the shorter, smarter guy.</p>
<p>I would rather date the guy who’s 5’6" but smart.</p>
<p>Girl here.</p>
<p>I’m always one to take the nonleader/follower role in all my people interactions – though that’s not to say that I’m submissive. I guess that’s why I prefer the guy to be smarter than me. Even with friends, I like learning things from other people. This of course can have its detriments though if it’s too imbalanced for your tastes.</p>
<p>5’6" guy only because he goes to Princeton and that is something that I admire – assuming that he worked hard to get in.</p>
<p>That’s another reason why I’d want my significant other to be smarter than me. I like being around people I admire, and I tend to admire those who are smarter than me.</p>
