So...why aren't girls attracted to smart guys?

[ZombieNixon]

:popcorn:

Seems to be the only angle on this thing we haven't covered yet. :shrug: ;)

[RevCheesehead]

1. Girls?

You mean like 15 year olds??

[ZombieNixon]

5. I'm just using the already established lingo.

:shrug:

And I'm in college; the line between "girl" and "woman" is a fine one. Some females take being called a "woman" as an insult, seriously, because "women" are old. Students are "girls." Professors are "women." Weird, I know. :shrug: :eyes:

[Nikia]

12. We were all "women" at my college

It took about half of my freshman year to get used to it since we were "girls" at my high school.
We were always referred to as women by all the staff and anything official. I was on the women's track team for example. I was in a sorority where we were recruiting women for our organization.
Even students in general conversation seemed to always refer to us as women and males as men.

[ZombieNixon]

14. I'm sure it's different at different places.

Plus you said "were." How long ago was this, if you don't mind me asking? :hi:

[Nikia]

16. I graduated from college in 2000

I guess that is sort of long ago since pretty much everyone who was an undergrad when I graduated is no longer there.

[Radio_Guy]

15. 15 year olds aren't attracted to me

Of course, i am in my 40s, so that is a good thing.

[Misunderestimator]

2. Oh it's been covered.

And covered... and covered... and covered.

[Deja Q]

4. I haven't seen any covers...

:D

[Misunderestimator]

6. Check the archives... You'll find plenty.

[ZombieNixon]

7. Oh, search function, destroyer of dreams.

We hardly knew ye. :D

Well, it's the only angle not covered *this time around* shall we say? :hi:

[Misunderestimator]

9. *this time around*

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!



:hi:

[ZombieNixon]

10. The Lounge goes through these phases.

Methinks the Lounge really needs to get laid. :P

[Misunderestimator]

11. I think portions of the lounge do... which is why we have these phases.

:P

[ZombieNixon]

13. Well, it's a three-step process:

1) Determine the sex of the Lounge.
2) Determine the sexual orientation of the Lounge.
3) Find a nice message board of appropriate sex and orientation and get them tickets to an opera and a room in a nice hotel for a night.

Which raises the question: do message boards have sexes? I asked this about trees once and was surprised to find out that catalpas do indeed have separate male and female entities.

On a raunchier note: what is message board sex like? If they don't use protection, might we have a little message board running around? What is the gestation period for a message board?

Wow, my mind is a weird place. :silly:

[Deja Q]

3. Because smart guys are nerdy little geeks who are porky and pimply.

And it doesn't matter about the size of their hoo-haas either. They don't come across looking like macho animal survivors. :9

[mdmc]

8. I knew it

:cry:

[miss_american_pie]

17. Sheesh

i invited you into the cuddle corner. What more do you want? :P

[ZombieNixon]

19. Yeah, but you kicked me out for...something.

I forget what. :shrug:

:P

[miss_american_pie]

20. I believe you sassed me

Smart, I like. Sass, not so much. ;)

[ZombieNixon]

21. Just call me a smartsass.

:P

[RetroLounge]

25. Where was MY invite?

I can cuddle too...

[graywarrior]

18. I dig Patrick Fitzgerald.

[supernova]

22. I'm attracted to smart guys

Stephen Hawking, Jacque Cousteau (when he was alive), my old astronomy professor, Stephen Danforth. :loveya:

I'm really attracted to scientific nerdy types. But from my end, I don't know how to flirt or be attention getting either. :-(

[xmas74]

43. I love nerdy scientific types!

I used to flock to the slide ruler crowd. I don't know why.

[Nikia]

23. After dating my first serious boyfriend who wasn't smart

He was always trying to point out anything that I wasn't smart about or minimize my intelligence or accomplishments. "You got into National Honor Society, Big F-in' Deal" I couldn't have intellectual conversations with him either.
I made it a point only to date smart guys. Most "desireable" non smart guys weren't attracted to me anyway.

[Heidi]

24. YAWN. Another myth.

But intelligence is _far_ from the most important quality. I'd rather date a stupid man who has a handle on love, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity, than a genius who's got no clue about _soul_.

Fortunately, my life partner, Call Me Wesley, has both a fine mind _and_ a good soul.

[In_The_Wind]

26. I can't answer this one because I'm only attracted to smart guys.

[Left Is Write]

27. We're not?

Helll-oo!

[MiniMandaRuth]

28. The smartest guy I know doesn't like girls....

:cry:

[ZombieNixon]

29. The bastard!

Givin' us straight smart guys a bad name! :grr:

:P (J/K o' course)

[MiniMandaRuth]

30. He's actually really nice, I love him to death,

And the guy I do have a crush on is very smart and really geeky. And pretty cute. just my type!

[Missy Vixen]

31. I've always been attracted to smart guys

Always. They must be intelligent, have a great sense of humor, be a little dorky/nerdy, and thoughtful.

[LeftyMom]

33. I like smart guys, provided they're humble about it.

Guys who think they know everything suck.

[ZombieNixon]

34. What about guys who everyone thinks know a lot,

but who knows he really doesn't know much? (I've been taking philosophy and we're studying Socrates. :))

[JohnKleeb]

37. That umm sounds a bit like me

I get the genius treatment mostly for my history knowledge and I am bound to get more after naming all the presidents in order in speech class but the truth of the matter is I am a dum-dum.

[ZombieNixon]

39. I have a 3.7 GPA. Graduated 7th in my HS class.

I probably could have made valedictorian if I hadn't screwed off in 10th grade. People always come to me for homework help. And I really do have a lot of book knowledge on a wide variety of subjects, but the truth is...I'm really just a master of BS. :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

40. 7th damn dude

I probably was like in the middle. My problem is that I only do great in what interests me, read History, some English, Poli Sci, uhh Psychology, social sciences you know but in regards to math and science I suck. The highest I got in math in high school was Geometry. Its funny really to be honest, I had a lot of people think I was "Gifted and TalenteD" but I'm in actuality learning disabled.

[ZombieNixon]

41. Oh, the irony.

I like science, except for biology...I just don't get it, so I somehome managed to avoid taking a bio class in HS despite the fact that we were technically required to take it. :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

44. I only passed chemistry last year because

my taacher used sexual inneudo in his lessons and silly stuff. I only remember who Ervin Schordinger is because of his cat fetish.

[ZombieNixon]

45. Ha! My chem teacher was like that.

Except the jokes usually were really bad and didn't have anything it do with the subject matter.

You ever smell mothballs?
How'd you get their little legs apart?

:rofl:

[JohnKleeb]

46. tthese jokes were funny

It was pretty damned funny when when took our tests for the people who contributed to the atom and he refered tot hem sarcastically as hotties. Niels Bohr :rofl: it was a great class because there were many great people in there too .

[LeftyMom]

47. As long as it's not false humility,

somebody who is smart but aware of thier own limitations is what I'd consider ideal in terms of intellect.

[purr]

35. I am - I always went after the 'smart kids' :)

dont ask how I married my hub - was far from my typical.

[ZombieNixon]

36. Hey, there you are!

:hi:

[ismnotwasm]

38. You obviously missed...

All of the "Revenge of the Nerds" movies.
Sadly misinformed. I suggest you run right out and watch all oh, how many is it 6? Over and over again until you get it right!

[xmas74]

42. Depends on the woman.

I've always been attracted to intelligent men.

Guys used to ask me why I was dating "that stupid geek" all the time. I always informed them that I preferred the company of a man that could converse w/ me and teach me something new.

Maybe I'm not the woman to ask. I think a well-placed pocket protector can dramatically increase the sexiness in a man. I :heart geeks.

[debbierlus]

48. That is ridiculous.

Smart men are SEXY.

Stupid men are an incredible turn off.

And, any woman worth her salt KNOW that!
