<p>i may not really care if he is lazy n doe snto bother to study hence does badly…but wont if he really is stupid n lacks common sense…
but now that i am gonna be in college, i think i wud wnat soemone who is serious abt studies as well :)</p>
<p>I’ve been with my boyfriend for close to a year and he was barely getting out of high school while I am graduating #5. And no, it isn’t a physical thing. He may not be that book smart but he has other smarts and I am able to get along with him.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think it would be boring to date someone who has similar interests/abilities/intelligence as me. I crave for more variety and contrast because then I can gain more insight into life and ahve more interesting conversations. Besides, I’m kind of predictable, so lets just say that I wouldn’t mind if I met a female who was more spontaneous.;)</p>
<p>lol Man on Fire! :/// Hhhhmmm am I spontaenous? xD [Goes and finds out]</p>
<p>I think we have a match;) … similar ages too</p>
<p>wow… CC the dating service!</p>
<p>I’m a girl. </p>
<p>To me, intelligence does not come in the form of academics, but rather being well read in real world matters. A guy could be the most stupid person in school, but as long as he is aware of the life and culture of people from different backgrounds other than his, has virtues and goals, and is willing to learn about the world, then I find him attractive.</p>
<p>Maybe I’m naive, but I like to think of pretty much everybody I know as being on the same plane intellectually, and just having different strengths. I end up attracted to completely different guys with the common denominator being that I can have a great, although not always deep, conversation with them and walk away with something to think about. My problem is that I can’t find many people who think the same way, hence I’ve never had a boyfriend. The guy I really like now told one of my best friends that he doesn’t want to go out with me because he thinks I’m smarter than he is, which I completely disagree with.
I don’t really think IQ is a good way to match up with someone, I can learn a lot from everyone I meet, and those that interest me romantically are probably not going to be the ones with the highest IQs but the ones with whom I share a set of common interests and that I can have good conversations with.
I’m a girl, by the way.</p>
<p>he doesn’t want to go out w/u because he thinks that you’re smarter than he is? how lame.</p>
<p>i’d want to date someone of similar or higher intelligence. i wouldn’t get anything out of a relationship with someone significantly less intelligent. we wouldn’t have anything to talk about.</p>
<p>and i agree with whoever posted about intellectual attraction being a necessity. i don’t care how ‘hot’ a guy is–he needs the brains to back it up. and no, aim78, i don’t find orlando bloom attractive either… ;)</p>
<p>but the sad truth is, i go to a small private school with 20 (more or less undesirable) guys in the grade. i don’t date, period.</p>
<p>i also have an ego the size of jupiter.</p>
<p>lol… this whole discussion is entertaining from a guy’s point of view. Jessetfan: Sorry about your friend not liking you because he thinks you are smarter than him… he must have an ego bigger than thisyearsgirl’s. I don’t think I would have a problem dating a girl who people thought was a lot smarter as long as she wasn’t a smarta$$. Our validictorian for example, is smart but is really a smarta$$, so we don’t get along to well.</p>
<p>lol… Orlando Bloom… interesting example. </p>
<p>I don’t know… I wish I could find and date a girl more intelligent than I am, I don’t mean to sound egotistical, but at my school there are very very very few smart and goodlooking girls, its usually one or the other. And I go to a school of 2500 students… Well actually, my prom date (the Prom Queen 
) was smart and somewhat good looking, except she couldn’t ever keep a boyfriend for more than 2 weeks, so she was not really an option. What am I left with… a hope for intelligent and hot girls in college.</p>
<p>romo1: why couldn’t she keep a boyfriend? (just curious)</p>
<p>Romo1, it’s actually not an ego problem, but a problem with self-confidence, he’s not a jerk. He’s actually a really great guy who doesn’t give himself enough credit.</p>
<p>Well, I don’t think I would evaluate the “smartness-factor” of a guy on the basis of his grades/stats/admissions decisions, but the fact is when you’re conversing with someone who’s noticeably more deficient in the mental faculties than you are… It’s quite boring. I kid, of course, because I guess being able to converse well does not necessarily correlate with being smart (some of the very intelligent guys at are school wouldn’t be much fun), but if they’re shallow, they sound quite ‘dumb’, and then… </p>
<p>If they’re well-versed in world affairs/history/social-type stuff I’d have no problem with dating the hypothetical guy…</p>
<p>Well because she is a party girl who does not take relationships seriously. She believes that at our age (18) none of th relationships created will last so she might as well have all the fun she can being single. So she might like someone for a couple of weeks but then she moves on to the next guy. </p>
<p>jessetfan, so he has low self esteem and no self confidence? Tough…</p>
<p>jessetfan: poor guy. :(</p>
<p>I consider my friends and I to have above average intelligence. I consider my school to have above average intelligence also.However, I would date a girl that has less academic smarts or aptitude than me. My friends and I would be considered slackers. We constantly get good grades, but we could do a whole lot better My best friend is a girl and she is prettty and smart. I like her since she is not so serious about academcis and we can talk about anything. She also has more social grace than I do and she can really dance. She is a cheerleader and a lacrosse player but she is still smart. I have always dated smart,athletic,and socially adept girls. This comes form, the fact that I am a football and former baseball player. I think that social adeptness and athleticsm makes someone more attractive to me than intelligence. My friend has shown me how to relax and have fun. If I had dated someone with only intlligence, I think that I would still be tense and shy.</p>
<p>ive known a few smart, hot girls. they are hard to come by, though.</p>
<p>why is it that</p>
<p>smart != hot … for the most part.</p>
<p>at least if the girl’s hot and dumb, u could have like 5 kids and then be a doctor or something and support the family while she looks after them. so it doesn’t entirely matter. 200K is fine to support any family.</p>
<p>well, i wouldn’t want to date an idiot.</p>
<p>i would think a bit condecendingly (i know, its horrible) on a guy i like if he’s “not as smart” as me. but i’d still date him if he can learn and can have decent conversations with me.</p>
<p>my boyfriend may be a bit behind when it comes to classes (he was in bio while i was in chem, i’m honors algebra 2 while he’s in geometry, etc.) he is a freakin’ musical genius. he can play all the saxes and woodwinds, plus piano and guitar. while i, on the other hand, cannot read music to save my life. i can play guitar chords and some notes, but not too much. it was a little embarassing telling him i’m taking a college music theory class this summer. ^_^</p>
<p>and yes. smart = hot</p>
<p>Intelligent girls are definitely some of the sexiest creatures on this planet.</p>
