Depends on what "stupid" would mean. If she would be stupid in terms that I agree with, then no. If she would be "stupid" as in how people I consider are stupid consider her to be stupid (did that make sense?) (those who care too much about being popular and knowing useless celebrity facts and keeping up to date with what's new and all that), then I wouldn't mind dating her.

Well, you have to be careful of thinking someone stupid. I once had a stupid boyfriend who now is considered one of the most highly respected people in the entire state. I now think he was much smarter than he let on.

All women should be allowed to experience my awesomeness, regardless of their intellectual heritage or social etiquette background. As long as there's a pulse... I'm good to go.

And thus, I'll date anyone





that's how nice I am

Edit:
Someone would have to be pretty dim before I wouldn't date/go out with them, but doesn't that say more about my own intelligence?

todd palin? its not much of a guess but that is literally the only guy i know from alaska except for the guy that ran against murkowski but he lost so i dont think he would be in the highly respected category.

Definitely NO!

Even though I have never dated before.

No.

Depends on what you mean by stupid. If you mean the kind of stupid where they struggle with basic math and spelling, then no. But if we're talking about "stupid" as in naive and not quite the best at thinking things through, then I wouldn't have too much of a problem with it. For instance, there's this girl at my school who's actually pretty smart (smart enough to be in several of my honors classes), but she can come off as stupid because she doesn't always get jokes right away, has a tendency to run into desks accidently, and sometimes blurts stuff without thinking about it. Overall, I don't think any less of her because I know that she's actually kinda intelligent (although there was the one time she mentioned that she thought Korea was spelt Correa).

I AM dating a stupid person. But shhh....She doesn't know it.

Everyone is pretty much stupid. The sense of arrogance is overwhelming in this thread. God help us all.

I thought of this earlier: I want someone who can talk like a smart person but have fun like a dumb one.

Even still, you do have to have a good bit of wit to make funny and dumb jokes.

Indeed :mellow:

It's ok though because the people here actually are awesome

Absolutely true.

As I've aged I've come to realize that I've never met anyone that I couldn't learn something from....and I've met a lot of 'em. I've also come to realize people that call other people stupid have a delusional belief of their own mental capacity.

We're all smart in different ways.

She doesn't know that you're dating her? Wow, that is stupid.

I'm somewhat reminded of the way that most people apparently consider themselves an (often substantially) above average driver...

Depends on what kinda stupid you mean.
If it's like one of those girls that Mayor Kimby(?) from The Simpsons hang around with then god no. (The stereotype blonde?)
Or one of those "guido" guys, god no... (I dunno how stupid they are though, they're just dikes, only watched one episode so couldn't speak too much about them (Jersey Shore))
But otherwise I wouldn't mind it too much, unless (s)he's factually wrong about something and refuse to step down due to his/her own pride, ignorance and case of know-it-all.
That'd be horrible.

I've met quite a few people who I considered smarter than they let on. This counts for females as well as males, but I think that some people just aren't used to it. They go their whole lives acting dumb, without actually being dumb, and when someone calls them out on it they don't know how to react. Especially with relationships where it's not just how you act, but the entire affair is played out like some kind of game. Saying "you're smarter than this" breaks the immersion a bit.

Sometimes I wonder if it's because of some tacit taboo in society, and all you have to do is say "It's okay, nobody else will see you, you're allowed to be smart now."

Would I date a stupid person though? I don't know. I'd prefer to date a smart woman who I could hold meaningful conversations with, but if she was tenacious enough to bring down the walls of Jericho that prevent any and all interpersonal relationships I don't think I'd have much of a choice at that point.

Absolutely this. :rolleyes:

I would say I'm definitely of average intelligence and my boyfriend is definitely very high on the 'intelligence' scale. However, he has zero common sense to speak of and if I'm being brutally honest, his social skills in certain settings could do with some work. He has his real arrogant moments and because he is super smart, he knows it and thinks those of average intelligence can be stupid sometimes. I'm seeing a LOT of that attitude in this thread. :confused:

It depends on the degree of the lack of intelligence. I'm pretty attracted to ditzy girls, but if I can't hold an intelligent conversation or even debate, then I'll probably lose that attraction.

Being kind and personable can cover a lot of faults. Lack of intelligence being one of them. Arrogance and condescension can mask a lot of good qualities as well.

Who? Um, nevermind...no, he is young enough to be my son and not so well respected.

That's all I'm saying about that.

I had a friend who at a glance you would think she was the ditziest blonde bimbo there was, but if you paid attention, they were these awesome multilayered jokes where she was sort of satirizing her stereotype. She was awesome, I miss her a lot.




This is true. Even those who are menatlly handicapped, you can learn something from them. That doesn't mean I would date someone with serious mental handicaps though.



Yeah 'stupid' is used in lots of different ways. I've been called stupid many times for many reasons, including having dyslexia. Stupid really means though, someone who is willfully ignorant and can also behave in a dangerous or imbicilic manner, Steve-O is a good example of stupidity.

I would date someone who is ignorant (doesn't know stuff: none of us are omniscient) and I don't judge people by their IQ but I'd have a hard time dating someone who was much more intelectually stunted or just didn't have interests in life or hobbies. I would find that boring.



Some people do get too caught up in themselves and it makes it difficult to tolerate the arrogance. I'm not attracted to that either. I am more attracted to guys who I see as intelligent but they have to be interested in things aside from around their own egosphere then themselves.




If someone made me go :bonk: on a regular basis that would mean they are hilarious and way smart and I would marry them.

Dis right here followed up with a sharp "HELL F{Beeping} NO" . I don't care how hot or fun she is, if she has a brain that's only filled with cobwebs and dust then I have to call it right there. Besides I like my women to have some brains and some beauty (inside and out) to them.

Define "dating"....

No intelligent woman would ever date me so if I want a date it is going to have to be with someone stupid.
