eh... that's a very slim chance... the only way I would date a stupid person is if they weren't a ditsy bubbly kinda person... If they knew when to stop talking there might be a chance.

A stupid person that knows when to keep their mouth shut... Hmm seems very implausible.

This is my answer. also.

And wow! I thought I was going to have to save a bunch of people in here, in case of rain. You can drown with your nose pointed straight up.

No, but thank the lord my girlfriend did.

You can't really tell at first glance (exept in extreme cases.)

Mayor Kwimby Quimby? I've never seen his name written out just the pronunciation of it.

I use to date a lot, had more fun with girls that didn't expect to do stuff that was overly intellectual. Not trying to infer anything that I didn't write. :shifty:

edit, aha brain unclogged the blondes name was Stacy. She was suppose to be like a version of Lisa's Malibu Stacy doll/barbie knockoff.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: I want someone that will challenge me, that I can have a proper conversation with, that will engage me and broaden my horizons. Without this I would just become bored. My girlfriend is extremely intelligent, has a huge interest in science and the world around her. and we frequently engage in heated debates about various issues. I feel that these factors are a large part of the reason why we're still together after almost seven years.

I will not exclude someone for it..
mind you.. im not going to be with someone thats a vapid, stuck up, self obsessed type of dumb..

No...
But the problem at my school is that everybody is stupid, so I don't really have a chance.

It depends how stupid they are really, I suppose.
I'm not the brightest person myself, so...

Naw. Ideally, she'd be more intelligent and better educated than me.

OK...We are at a little get together at someones house.
She and I are sitting out on a dock on the lake looking up at the stars.
We both see a shooting star and she sequels. She asks "Walt, what makes a shooting star shoot?"
I say "It's just a little rock or something burning up when it hits the Earth's atmosphere".

Silence.

Finally she says "So is what you are saying, is a shooting star isn't really a star at all?"

It's just George Clooney.

Everyone knows that Hollywood stars have the ability to fly.

Like, durr.

EDIT: OMG

EDIT #2: Like, WTF

EDIT #3: LOL

I watched this film after your avatar got me interested in it. Loved it.

I'd have pushed her into the lake.

I would just lean over and kiss her. that will silence the conversation.

Seriously, are all you guys swimming in so much poon you don't know what to do with?
No? Then you might want to widen your gamut.

My ex wife dated me, or was it the other around :whistling:

This made her dumb? Really?

I personally think that's quite endearing. -_- Everyone comes out with a crapola statement at some point but it doesn't mean they're stupid. ^_^

Well you handled that all wrong.

You should have said something along the lines of "Baby, it's your beauty that lights those stars up and my love for you that ignites them across the sky." In a very deep Barry White voice.

This thread is making me rage. If you think someone is stupid because they don't know what a shooting star is, then you're just arrogant.


Also: she probably said that to keep the conversation going, bro.

Because getting laid is far more important than having standards? :confused:

I woulda date you but yous too smert 4me.

Anyways, I find it interesting that there is a lot of mention of the potential candidate's looks in here, as though if the girls (seems to be mostly guys doing this) looks are passible enough (re: "hot") her mind matters less. That's kind of a sad outlook in and of itself.

In a word? No.

I assume by dating, you mean something more consistent than the first few dates of getting to know someone a little better - I have been bored on many a first date, because sometimes people are nervous or shy so I hate to immediately make a snap judgment after sitting having coffee for an hour. But usually you can figure out pretty early on if someone is intelligent -I equate intelligence with a keen sense of humor, sarcasm and general wise-assery - all qualities I look for in a guy.

What a condescending thread (and coming from me). :laugh: Lots of smartypants here, but we all know this.

Stupidity can have all those qualities, and often does. Remember that stupidity is being intentionally unwise, imbicillic, mornonic, etc. Maybe it's just my experience but I've noticed from guys I've dated that too much sarcasm and wiseassery often comes with a darker tone of just-below-the-surface extreme pessimism and it gets old very quickly, especially when they start holding grudges about anything and everything.

Example: Sarcasm Guy is giving me a hand with my fish tank and I'm showing him how to run one and how how the filter works and everything, and his comment was "so basicly you are running an unlicenced septic system, then?" Hahaha that would be so funny if every single comment wasn't like that. The guy was intelligent but a terrible communicator and just had a black storm cloud over his head that was there seemingly all the time. The weight of it would drag you down after a while, you know?

They are harder to find but give me the sweet intelligent guy over Mr Dark-Wit any day of the week. :wub:

Well it's true, though. All she needs is a healthy body and wide hips to facillitate the birthing of many children. The male can do everything that requires intellect. Though there is the issue of her giving birth to moronic children...


But seriously though, I am not much attracted to complete morons, whatever they look like. It's just a pain to have to converse with them, and I've gotten used to being around intelligent people. I don't demand that people are necessarily well read or even well educated, but some grounding in reality and mental stability is good. People with obsessive intellect and undeveloped social skills are just as much of a bore to be around.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Yes.
