Do you like smart or stupid women?

Dis · December 21, 2002, 03:50

or just average women?

This thread will focus on women's inner beauty. You hear that men don't talk about what's inside a woman. So here we go girls, we will talk about what's inside women (besides ovaries). So please describe what personality you like also.

Watch this thread probably won't get any replies

And I won't include men in this thread. Because there is a slight double standard here. You always hear stories that men don't want to be around women smarter than them. I want to see if that is true.

Well. as I am a woman, I like to relate to those of my own intelligence level.

Smmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmart

Ming · December 21, 2002, 04:00

I wouldn't have married my wife if she was stupid.

Why settle for something inferior...

orange · December 21, 2002, 04:01

i much prefer smart women to ditzy girls. I prefer women that I can hold conversations with, whether about important things OR fun things.

Ming · December 21, 2002, 04:08

After a while, they will lose there looks... They will never lose their intellegence.

What has this got to do with intelligence?

Are we talking; relation or one night stand here btw?

To answer your question; I like them to be smart

Dis · December 21, 2002, 04:19

well obviously who cares on one night stands. We don't even need to know their names in that case

Loif · December 21, 2002, 04:20

So nice to hear from intelligent men.

Frozzy · December 21, 2002, 04:24

I wouldn't like women who are brain-boxes (Me is stereotypical), but I would go for above average (bring on trivial pursuit

).

Ramo · December 21, 2002, 04:26

The smarter, the better.

monkspider · December 21, 2002, 04:34

I agree, the smarter the better, and just a little bit shy, ideally.

Kassiopeia · December 21, 2002, 05:30

The smarter the better. That is, until they start kicking my arse in Trivial Pursuit.

And shyness is good too, so it's easy to relate.

Dauphin · December 21, 2002, 05:37

If a woman is smart she wouldn't go out with me.

alva · December 21, 2002, 05:42

We know, we know

We are talking hypothetical here

Bereta_Eder · December 21, 2002, 06:31

smart. stupidity turns me off

Traianvs · December 21, 2002, 07:19

Oh no, paiktis hates himself!!!

Bereta_Eder · December 21, 2002, 07:29

ACK!

FrustratedPoet · December 21, 2002, 07:36

I couldn't date a girl who was less intelligent than me .... but fortunately I'm an absolutely ****wit so I'm not narrowing my options too much there.

Kepler · December 21, 2002, 07:37

Stupid women are tiresome after a couple hours at a time. But given the inverse relationship between beauty and intelligence (in both sexes), I wasn't particular about intelligence back when I was simply dating, since it's a Draconian upper limit on looks*.

Now, I've got a fiancee who's my best friend. She's got the same sense of humor and values as I, so naturally I think she's brilliant.

*Of course there are exceptions -- but this is a general law that tends to hold: *extremely* attractive women tend to cluster at average intelligence, since they don't need to develop any attribute of their mind to get by.

That's nice, but try not to use both the phrases: "There's an inverse realtionship between beauty and intelligence" and "I think you're really smart" when you talk to a woman.

Traianvs · December 21, 2002, 07:42

Well, if she understands, she would slap ye in the face
If she doesn't understand... you wouldn't want her because she's too stupid

in any case, you will not have any success, so i reckon it's a bad tactic

Kepler · December 21, 2002, 08:13

LOL. I don't make the rules of human nature, folks. Take your complaints to the Designer, not the Reporter...

Let me put it another way. Intelligence is a form of overcompensation used by people who otherwise don't command the instant respect and attention that attractiveness often inspires.

This is of course a repugnant idea now that we live within a cult of intelligence, where it is assumed to be a positive characteristic. But when viewed appropriately, it really amounts to nothing more than a defense mechanism, and thus relating to someone that they are of average intelligence is a general, positive commentary on their true value as people.

Like that better? ;-)

Az · December 21, 2002, 08:17

I would like a woman as smart as I am.

Bereta_Eder · December 21, 2002, 08:24

That about sums it up. Smart, but not smarter than me

Urban Ranger · December 21, 2002, 08:33

Intelligent, humourous, talkative, and mostly outgoing.

Um, I seem to know her from somewhere

Az · December 21, 2002, 08:37

I wouldn't mind her being more knowledgeable in her own field of work, though. I don't want to boss her around and I certainly wouldn't like to be bossed around myself.

Zkribbler · December 21, 2002, 13:22

Smart is the second thing I look at in a woman--right after compassion. The smarter the better!
