<p>My class' saltuatorian has been in a relationship for a couple years. </p>
<p>On a personal note, I generally like girls who are at least as smart if not smarter than me, the problem comes from their being a) Too busy b) unapproachable.</p>
<p>I like girls who have no time to like me.</p>
<p>heh i have a 4.0 and i have a boyfriend</p>
<p>One of the smartest girls in my grade is in a 3-going-on-4 year relationship with one of the smartest guys. And most of the other smart girls have been taken, too. But I don't know. We have a very large Asian population that seems to interdate. So maybe we're an anomaly?</p>
<p>Oh and most of our smartest people are girls, and they're not socially inept.</p>
<p>I'd like a girl that was more intelligent than me...I'd have no problem with it. Then again I'm not picky. I think the intelligent ones can be more intimidating to some guys with superiority complexes though...</p>
<p>I don't know.</p>
<p>I really wouldn't want a girl who is smarter than me. That would be intimidating in my opinion.</p>
<p>Personally I'm more concerned about her personality than her intelligence. If she happens to be an intelligent person than it just makes for more stimulating conversation. I think that some intelligent girls get overlooked though because of shallowness...however, that goes both ways. I think it really comes down to confidence. It takes a confident person to be able to handle a relationship with someone who happens to be more intelligent than they are.</p>
<p>honestly, i'd agree with jman... too intimidating... it wouldn't last...</p>
<p>Most relationships don't last. I'm just talking about the ability to field one. Should a good quality like intelligence be a deterrent for guys? There are too many bad qualities out there that rule out many girls already. Personally, I'd say there are enough ways to "critique" girls without raggin on their intelligence if they happen to be over achievers.</p>
<p>in my school, all the 4.0/2400 valedictorian-type people are very smart. and in most cases, they get asked out to dances a lot, too. like our class president has never had anything below a 4.0 (even in middleschool), but she has been to MANY dances with dates (if i remember clearly i think she was asked to senior prom as a freshman, winter ball and junior prom as a sophomore, and much more..). but she isnt in a relationship. i think that most of the 4.0/2400 val types arent in relationships because it takes up too much energy and time, and they dont want to accept something that is too much to handle.</p>

thats a really dumb thing to say. No offence, but why? Thats like saying you don't want a smart guy-friend because it would intimidate you. Whats the difference except that you're going to "get physical" with the first</p>
<p>It's perfectly okay to be intimidated by smarter people -- lots of people wouldn't like to be regarded as the definite "lower one" in the relationship, and people on this board are very likely to measure status in terms of intelligence. In fact I've heard somewhere that the couples that are most successful are the ones evenly matched in looks, intelligence, etc. -- or those who are balanced (e.g. man is dumb but looks great, girl is smart but looks awful).</p>
<p>And relationships aren't just "getting physical" -- they're also about spending lots and lots of time alone together.</p>
<p>And I overuse dashes -- far too much.</p>
<p>or those who are balanced (e.g. man is dumb but looks great, girl is smart but looks awful).</p>
<p>dont see too many nerds datin supermodels do ya champ</p>
<p>Last year's valedictorian had a boyfriend...who ended up ranking 3 haha, and she even acknowledged him in her speech.</p>
<p>My ex was. What a *****.</p>
<p>My bestfriend was Salidictorian and she has a bf and I know the Val has a gf</p>

<p>MS. PERETTI (spoken)
Miss Park speaks five languages.</p>
<p>MARCY (spoken)
No I don’t.</p>
<p>MS. PERETTI (spoken)
Don’t you?</p>
<p>MARCY (spoken)
No.
(sung) I Speak Six Languages</p>
<p>MS. PERETTI (spoken)
Oh, six.</p>
<p>MARCY
Every language easy
Easy as the recipe for making Jell-O
I Speak Six Languages
And I can say hello
In at least seven more</p>
<p>MS. PERETTI (spoken)
She’s also a champion rugby player.</p>
<p>MARCY
To excel in athletics is not difficult if one has the temperament
Apparently
I have the temperament
Yes I score some goals
So unfazed am I
As my life Unscrolls
Unamazed am I
I don’t like to brag
And I won’t ‘cause I don’t have to
But</p>
<p>I Speak Six Languages
All-American in hockey
And anything I do
I do without getting sore
I Speak Six Languages
And I like the theme from Rocky
Though I play Mozart more</p>
<p>GIRLS
Oooooooah</p>
<p>MARCY (GIRLS)
I achieve my goals (Aaaaah)
So unfazed am I
As my life unscrolls (Aaaaah)
Unamazed am I
Winning is a job (Winning is a job)
And I get no real enjoyment (And she gets no real enjoyment)
But</p>
<p>MARCY [GIRLS]
Je peux parler six langues [Aaaaah]
Carda idio maes simple [Oooooh]
Jerro oh yo no reshipe no yesashesades [Sashades]

<p>MARCY, GIRLS
Im noch mindesterns sieben mehr</p>
<p>MARCY
I Speak Six Languages
I am sick and tired
Of always being the best
And the brightest
At every mass
Six lousy languages
And for my height I’m the lightest
Of the girls in my class</p>
<p>GIRLS
She knows six languages</p>
<p>MARCY (spoken) <a href="sung">GIRLS</a>

3[She knows], 4[She knows], 5[She knows]</p>
<p>ALL
Six!

<p>Just thought of that song from this thread. That character's tag line is "What use is speaking six languages if you can't meet a boy in any of them?"</p>
<p>yes, i know plenty of really smart guys and girls who do other non-academic activities and who are in relationships.</p>
<p>usually the smart girls are in relationships with guys who are either as smart or smarter than them.
the smart guys usually aren't in relationships with girls who are smarter than them though</p>
<p>*and these "smart" people aren't the kind who study 24/7</p>
<p>I think most of the people with 4.0s (they don't weight at my HS, so all 8-10 of us will be valedictorians if AP calculus doesn't knock a bunch out of the running... they really ought to weight AP grades :() have dating relationships... except me. But then, most of the non-me valedictorians are 1) hard-working, bright--but definitely not brilliant--students who freely admit to taking hard classes and doing their ECs "to look good to colleges," and 2) all friends with one another; though I don't dislike these kids, I've never really been part of that group. </p>
<p>In my group of friends, I wouldn't say it's really the norm to be dating someone--there's not a whole lot of romance... either that or I'm naive. :p </p>
<p>...Well, let's see. All my friends have 3.5+ GPAs and are highly involved in ECs, drama in particular. Of my three best friends (I'd include more friends, but I have really no idea what their dating histories are):
1. (junior, guy, 4.0) is in a relationship,
2. (junior, guy, 3.8<GPA<4.0) has probably been in a few relationships but I'm not sure of his status right now, and
3. (junior, girl, 3.5<GPA<4.0) went on one date with #2 a year ago but besides that has been boyfriend-free.
And then there's me-- (senior, girl, 4.0) never been on a date, never had a boyfriend, never been kissed... absolutamente nada. Don't know why. Do I have to actually put effort into it or something? :p ;)</p>
<p>Perhaps you just need to flirt a bit more. But then again, you shouldn't listen to a quirky sophomore such as myself who's bound to be a forty-year-old virgin.</p>
<p>Anyway, my intelligent friend got asked out by a guy who's liked her for about a year. I have a feeling that they will have a lasting, meaningful relationship, while I sit in my closet and lament over my unapproachableness.</p>
