<p>High school is complete crap. I don't have good friends and girls are soo stupid...
Like freking 8 people out of 500 get above a 2000 on the SAT...including me...thats how pathetic it is.</p>
<p>People need to relax more and get smarter.</p>
<p>Please tell me things get better.</p>
<p>Hah, what a question.</p>
<p>Of course it gets better, you’re around way more interesting people, and parents aren’t around.</p>
<p>… frankly, you sound like an ass.</p>
<p>^don’t hate man. dont hate.</p>

Girls are not stupid and just because someone has under a 2000 on the SAT doesn’t necessarily mean she/he is stupid. I’ve found plenty of people at my high school who didn’t do that well on the SAT but are really bright and super interesting. You just need to know where to look and how to find these people and only looking at people with high SAT scores is definitely not the way to go.</p>
<p>In my experience, positive dating experiences have little correlation to high SAT scores. I mean I guess they can, if that’s how you roll. But, yeah, just me. I don’t require girls to pass a certain SAT barrier before I date them.</p>
<p>In response to the original question, I would think it’s safe to say that dating becomes thoroughly better. I hope so.</p>
<p>^ I didn’t imply that. what i meant to say is that i come from a bad community…</p>
<p>Dating probably comes better as you are in an environment where people are just like you or around the same intellectual level. Also you get a fresh start on building a new social image!</p>

No offense to you, but I cannot stand people judging other people based on SAT scores. One of the primary reasons I want to go to MIT is because of all the top colleges in the country, they seem to be most hollistic and look past just the numbers of a person. To judge your community or environment based on their test scores, in my opinion, is something you should avoid.
My friends do not have the best test scores, but it doesn’t make them any less intelligent than I am or is degrading in any way to their positive qualities as a student.
Make something of your high school instead of whining about how bad it might be. My high school isn’t necessarily the best but the challenge of defining and pursuing my passions just made it that much sweeter. Grow up.</p>
<p>Are you actually looking for opinion or just for people to reinforce your view?</p>
<p>Though I love smart girls, brains isn’t everything. Beauty and personality must be great lol. Plus I know a lot of girls who aren’t that bright (1500 sat,18 act etc…) but they’re pretty street smart and are amazing girlfriends.</p>
<p>@QuantumArbiter: I’m not sure if I take the same extreme as you, but I think I might understand in a sense. I feel like to really clique with people, like REALLY, I need to have them within a certain academic range so that they are not frantically looking through a dictionary after every word I say (I didn’t mean the dictionary part literally). I think that what I’m hoping to find at MIT is more interesting people, who are more creative. At my school, everything is perfectly norm everyday=BORING. There is no air of intellectual curiosity, no humor, nothing. </p>
<p>I’m hoping things will be more fun at MIT socially as there will probably be more people similar to me who won’t glare at me for proposing a game of ducttape ball haha.</p>
<p>Well, if you set a barrier of 2000 on the SAT, then only a very small number of girls per unit volume with less than the classical limit of 2000 on the SAT will get to you.</p>
<p>Theoretically speaking, it should get better since you’d probably meet a larger number of girls who have higher average SAT scores, although we’re assuming that the girls at MIT are spherical point masses. (Funnily, you gave me inspiration on the WKB approximation here… which implies that a girl with lower mass has a higher chance of penetrating that barrier anyway!)</p>
<p>Alternatively, you could lower your barrier. Of course, you might think that lowering it would violate your principles… but you must account for alcohol catalysis on weekend parties.</p>
<p>On a serious note though, it doesn’t get better in a place where 8 people out of nearly 500 get less than 2000 on the SAT, based on my experience.</p>
<p>What do SAT scores have anything to do with dating?</p>
<p>I’m with Piper. You do sound like an ass.</p>
<p>That said, yes, the dating scene probably will improve. You’ll be in a place where everyone has at least 1 common interest with you. And sure, while everyone here is intelligent, people here have their deficiencies too, and you’re going to have to settle with those. Honestly, I doubt that in a school of 500 there is NO ONE who is interesting. I just think you’re being too biased to really look. I urge you not to forget that in addition to you finding someone you like, that other person must also like you. That has a lot to do with attitude.</p>
<p>Honestly I think you guys are overanalyzing the situation. Maybe I didn’t phrase it properly, but in NO WAY am I intending that SAT measures intelligence. In NO WAY am I going to date girls based on SAT scores. How ridiculous is that??</p>
<p>I’m trying to say that I can’t fit in, and I’m better off in a community of smarter people (as SAT measures a certain degree of intelligence).
My question is: Will dating opportunities be greater in such a strong academic environment as MIT?</p>
<p>You know what? Screw it. You guys just killed it.
I’m gonna drop this subject, come back another day, and make this question more “appropriate” so you guys don’t automatically judge me as an “ass.”</p>
<p>Geez guys, get off my back. I don’t know what it is with you people…if you’re not getting some either, then don’t blow up on me. You can start by not over analyzing small things and jumping to stupid conclusions. Girls don’t like that.</p>
<p>Dating gets better in college. Alcohol and close proximity lubricate social interactions. The overnerds of MIT are as desperate for human touch as anyone else.</p>
<p>@QuantumArbiter</p>
<p>I get what you mean, although I understand why some might think negatively of you for what you said. It does sound like you’d be better off in a community like MIT that’s more academically-oriented. My old school was extremely lax, and very few of the students cared much about school, and although it was fine for a while, the more time I spent with them the more I realized that we didn’t have anything in common and so couldn’t really relate to then. My current school is a much stronger academically, and yes, I do feel that my social life has improved.</p>
<p>As for dating opportunities: from what I’ve heard, the tough academics mean that time for a social life is somewhat limited. Still, MIT is a definite work hard - party hard sort of school, and there are certainly opportunities. And of course the people there are on the whole very hard-working, so you’ll probably find yourself fitting in better.</p>
<p>Anyways, I’m sure you’ll be able to find a better dating situation at MIT or whatever school you end up attending 
Good luck, don’t give up, and I would suggest that you chill a bit - lashing out at those who think you’re ass will only make them think you’re more of an ass. Personally, I like you, and even though I’m not a guy I fully understand what you mean about the intelligence thing (although it seems to have been misconstrued or just not well received here @ CC).</p>
<p>Assuming you are NOT ugly, you will probably meet smarter girls at MIT.</p>
<p>If you are ugly, I think the girls you meet will be the smartest ones of all.</p>
