<p>In this question, capable refers to ability to work well in the academic/job area. For example - schoolwork, exams, research internships. (Here, take social ability into consideration, but mostly within an academic/professional context.) </p>
<p>Likewise, girls: would you be willing to be in a relationship with a guy significantly less capable than you?</p>
<p>What are your thoughts? I'm curious about the perspective y'all may have on this not always openly discussed topic.</p>
<p>Maybe, depending on how that girl would feel about being superior academically… like if they always flaunted it, I would be annoyed and wouldn’t do it but if they were modest, then maybe.
I know a girl who’s really smart and does a lot of different EC’s, and she’s going out with an academically average guy who plays computer games a lot.</p>
<p>it depends</p>
<p>It totally depends. We’ll I don’t mind if who’s more capable between us two. As long as we understand each other and respect one another I guess we’ll be fine!</p>
<p>It wouldn’t be a deal breaker…</p>
<p>When I took a course at my local cc this summer, this guy who was a sophomore at the community college went after me and would ask me daily to smoke weed in his car with him after class and go to random parties with him downtown “to hook up”. If you mean that kind of “less capable” where he was really obvious about it and not overly bright and his sole purpose in life was to get drunk every night and have sex—then no, I wouldn’t. </p>
<p>But I don’t mind dating someone who’s not a crazy intellectual. I think that as long as that person is passionate about something, it doesn’t matter how capable or incapable a person is.</p>
<p>Is it terrible that I read this thread title differently? As in, like, our v-card levels are unequal?
…
Umm, but yeah, I dig smart and intellectual chicks. I wouldn’t mind.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p><<em>< I can’t speak for anyone else, but you weren’t the only one ></em>></p>
<p>same here and knowing CC i wouldnt have been surprised, lol!!</p>
<p>I would probably prefer it. But only slightly less capable. Too much and it would not be as enjoyable.</p>
<p>it ?</p>
<p>Monstor - maybe I should have used “academically talented” in the title or something, heh.</p>
<p>I’m just wondering because apparently, a lot of guys wouldn’t be willing to date a girl who’s academically superior because that would hurt their sense of pride or self-esteem.</p>
<p>What does it matter if there are no communication issues.
Ughghghghgh. Really annoys me that this is apparently a factor, but whateva. Don’t want to be dating anyone that this is a serious concern for anyway.</p>
<p>I like guys who are on my level even if it means our smarts are in different areas (like I’m more business and he’s more astrophysics). But I definitely wouldn’t deal with a guy who’s way smarter than me, and I prefer guys who are not too far below me.</p>
<p>I already do haha</p>
<p>My GF is rank 3/397 (might be sal in the end) and I’m only 7/397.</p>
<p>She doesn’t show off her GPA/SAT scores though, so it’s all good :)</p>
<p>As long as she’s not a ***** about it, I really don’t care. I just want someone engaging and intelligent. I might feel a little threatened if she’s better at French than I am, though 
jb.</p>
<p>Of course, the same applies to regular friends. I don’t care if they’re smarter than me, but if they’re *******s about it then why would I want to be friends with them?</p>
<p>We really need to get the image of “men > women” out of our heads…Why is this a debatable question for some people?</p>
<p>i agree with… basically everyone else</p>
<p>as long as she’s modest about it, i really don’t care as long as she’s hot and stuff. intelligence + physical beauty is a deadly attractive combo.</p>
<p>so whatevs.</p>
<p>only if she stays in the kitchen…</p>
<p>you totally set me up for that one</p>
<p>As a girl, I don’t mind if a guy isn’t as smart as me. But I would love it if a guy was as smart as/smarter than me (without being obnoxious about it). I don’t know too many people who are as smart as me (I don’t mean that in a pompous way at all!), so I feel like I have something big in common with them.</p>
