Intelligence Fetish?

<p>Yank, I like yo daddy.</p>

<p>Yea the guy has to be somewhat smart at least! But mostly other stuff.</p>

<p>^^ Girl… I swear to God, you really know how to creep the hell out of me in the most amusing ways.</p>

<p>I have a low tolerance for people of average/worse intelligence… That being said, it’s not exactly what I’d term a fetish.</p>

<p>And of course I still like looking at a hot guy, smart or not. :D</p>

<p>I like a lot of smart people on this forum. Too bad I can’t post their usernames.</p>

<p>^^completely agree lol:)</p>

<p>Does anyone actually prefer their women to be stupid/not on their level? It’s actually fun guys…</p>

<p>them inteligienenent girls . But they cant be some uptight nerd(hope i didnt offend anyone, Lmao)</p>

<p>Actually sometimes just to feel smarter it is nice if the guy is a little less smart, no offense, but smart is still good:)</p>

<p>It’s only gotten worse now that I’m in college…
If a guy shows any scraps of intelligence I think, “OH GOD TAKE ME HOME NOW”
It’s kind of a problem. But I stick around long enough to realize that he really isn’t that intelligent. Needless to say, I go home alone.</p>

<p>I would prefer an intelligient girl for long term situations, while intelligience is an insignificant trait in the short term. :P</p>

<p>Intelligence isn’t well-defined in this context, and the usual definition IMO doesn’t have a strong correlation with good-relationship-material, at least past a certain point.</p>

<p>I’ve had such dumb boyfriends.</p>

<p>As long as guys meet a minimum threshold it seems they would be fine boyfriends. I don’t think there’s any positive correlation with higher intelligence. Too intelligent boyfriends most likely care more about their intellect, or other less important things not relevant to relationships.</p>

<p>agreed with tcbh/meadow.</p>

<p>the threshold is debateable of course. i don’t know where my exact threshold is, but it’s somewhere between the 95th and 98th percentile</p>

<p>Hey, for all the posters above - do you define intelligence as inclusive of mathematical intelligence? Or can it be independent of mathematical intelligence? What if someone was very intelligent on everything except math, for example?</p>

<p>Independent of mathematical intelligence, but it’s a plus if they are intelligent in mathematics.</p>

<p>Psshh, dumb girls are easier to hit on. HS relationships don’t really matter anyways.</p>

<p>Although once I actually look for a long term relationship I’d need to find someone who wouldn’t be stupid to the point where it annoys me. Being able to hold a deep conversation would be a baseline.</p>

<p>Intelligence is hot, but that being said, I’m dating a guy whose not ridiculously intelligent or driven or anything. </p>

<p>I think ambition is really hot, I think guys who give a **** about their future are really attractive. </p>

<p>But, I could never date someone who prefers girls who are less intelligent than them. It just screams insecurity in every sense of the word. Or vapidness. Or both.</p>
