quietGuy13 Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 So i looked at the thread where a guy asked if he was ugly and women started talking about how they need someone with High IQ. Wow, i didn't know that. I myself am below average IQ so what is that mean? my conversations(when i do have them which is not often) are just simple, with long pauses, and i have nothing articulate and complex in them. Mostly stuf lke "where are you from?" "What do you like? what are your hobbies?" etc So does it mean, that because i am low IQ, that i should try to find girls who are low IQ too? because apparently the girls here with High IQs want guys with High IQs. man, this is difficult
Ouroboros Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Pro athletes are highly sought after by women yet few of them can hold a decent conversation. What you experienced is the dispelling of a lot of hot air. People say they want one thing but go for something else. It sounds a lot like you haven't had your IQ tested and are making assumptions. Besides IQ is a bullshyt metric that shouldn't be used in gauging intelligence even if you wish to believe in intelligence.
TaraMaiden Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I do think however, that a relationship has more of a chance of succeeding if you manage to find a person of similar intellect (and let's not mistake this - Intellect is different to Intelligence). The initial excitement of the physical attraction will eventually cool, and may even dissipate and reach a simple level of habit, but in order to be able to maintain a relationship where challenge and interest are evident, I think you need to be able to find someone with whom you can talk on a similar level of interest and intellect. What that is, is up to the individual. People are different, the world over, and how a person progresses, can only be a choice of that person. Some strive to improve their intellectual capacity, and others are content to be wherever they are, wherever that may be. But I do know that a disparity can breed unrest, resentment, discontent and eventually, even disdain. Whether that's right, or fair, is not for me to say. But that's how it often happens.
