Is intelligence a turnoff?

<p>Hahaha, true! But these guys thought they knew everything. At least they acted like it with all their loud and immature sex talk. There were other smart guys I knew who didn’t partake in that talk with them. They were much more attractive and “cool” to me because of that.</p>

<p>There were two really smart guys that I remember thinking were cool in high school. Mainly because they demonstrated their smarts in our hard IB classes, but they had friends outside of the IB circle. Their lives were not dominated by cut throat competition. They seemed balanced and were kind, but also super funny! Definitely the type who wouldn’t mind going to a party and mingling with people from all backgrounds (whether it was smart IB kids or the “slacker” stoners), but always made sure academics came first.</p>

<p>I’m a girl, and intelligence is a HUGE factor when looking for a guy! Honestly, and I don’t mean to sound rude, but it might be your attitude. It doesn’t matter if you’re extremely smart, if you yourself aren’t a likeable person, nobody will go for you. And those dbags you talked about - there’s a reason girls go for them. Confidence is attractive. But if you expect girls to be attracted to you, and blame it on your intelligence, I don’t see you finding a girlfriend in the near future. Again, I don’t want to be rude! Take this as constructive criticism (:</p>

<p>Intelligence is nothing if you want girls you need a reputation</p>

<p>I agree. Character is the no. 1 most important thing, and intelligence is one of the most determining traits of your character. I could not imagine being with someone who can’t tell Austria and Australia apart and doesn’t understand sentences that consist of more than 6 words.
In Order to be fascinating, you need To be interesting, and to me the most interesting thing is a great knowledge of things I know nothing about, so that he can then open up a new world to me. Go intelligence :)</p>
