Guys: Would you go out with a girl significantly more capable than you are?

<p>nattile no offence but your boyfriend is a loser.</p>

<p>^^ Hire her? For what?</p>

<p>^rofl I was thinking the same thing.</p>

<p>^^same here</p>

<p>No offense taken. I probably described it badly and this is just some depersonalized internet chat board. But if you actually knew him you probably wouldn’t say that. He’s been through a lot of stuff and he’s a really cool guy that most everyone likes. But then again, if you’re one of the many pretentious on cc that think sat scores and whether or not a person gets into the ivy league are all that matter, then I guess you would think that still.</p>

<p>I’m a guy, and yeah, I DEFINITELY would. When I read the thread title, I immediately pictured all the hot girls at my school that have high grades/AP classes. That sounds a bit shallow, but I wouldn’t mind, even if I were to disregard appearance.</p>

<p>Hell no. (fi</p>

<p>Hell yes. :d</p>

<p>More importantly, would she go out with me?</p>

<p>Hire her to be my secretary, assistant, escort, massage therapist…really doesn’t matter.</p>

<p>Last year I was really into this senior at my school…and he was such a nice guy. The only problem was he was a bit of a screw off. He was doing part-time running start, but he took like no hard classes (except AP stats which he did average in) and he was planning to go to community college for a year before transferring to a pretty low par in state university. He had like no ECs and didn’t have a job. As much as I liked him, i the end when he asked me to go out I ended up saying no…I just couldn’t see it working out. I’m so invested in school and he didn’t really understand that. </p>

<p>I kind of regret it. I still kind of like him. But I know we probably would have broken up after a couple months…even when we were just hanging out I would get annoyed with him sometimes, and that’s when I had a huge crush on him.</p>

<p>Two of the guys I dated in the past were both less academically talented than I was. While they were both smart, I had the higher GPA/class ranking, was more well-known in the school, and now, I guess I can say I’ll be going to the more “prestigious” college. I was perfectly fine with all of that and I think they were too. We were still able to have deep, intellectual conversations. But moreover, they were great guys- sweet, kind, never failed to make me laugh or feel better on an off day.</p>

<p>The guy I like now is smart, but really lazy academically. But he has his moments- a great friend, a strong leader, fun, understanding. I would still date him in a heartbeat.</p>

<p>Then again, I went into those relationships, and I would go into another one, knowing that it would be short term - as in, I was surprised that one of them reached the four-month mark. (on the other hand, what high schooler goes into a relationship, thinking it’d last forever?) I don’t know if I’d have a different perspective if I was dating more “seriously,” with prospects of something more long-term.</p>
