I've noticed something, on the extremly rare occasion where a male makes me feel dumb, I want to rip his throat out and eat his heart to gain his courage. But when a female makes me feel dumb (slightly more common) I simply become attracted to her, extremly attracted if it happens more then once. Does this happen to anyone else?

I always make other feel dumb so no :cool: :)

I tend to like people smarter than me, whatever their gender. I listen to everything they say and learn what I can from them.

None of the people I have been sexually attracted to, however, have ever been smarter than me.

You always make "other" feel dumb? How is that working for you? ;)

It is working quite well actuallys. I never have to worrys about my ego or the ego of other.

Ripping the throat out forces the soul to flee the body before one can eat the heart and gain the courage said soul imparts.

Disembowel them instead. *wisenod*

The people where I live certainly don't make me feel dumb...they just make me want to move.

But I'll agree with you...smart women are the sexiest kind. :)

I don't really talk with people. I just sit back in judge so they look stupid to me. Of course, most of them probably are.

It works well for me.

I have yet to ever feel dumb.:cool:

All my feelings of sadness and inadequacy are replaced by happiness for no apparent reason fairly quickly. Does that make me lucky or unlucky?

It makes you either bipolar or a teenager or both.

I tend to be attracted to women who are smarter than me. It's so sexy.

I recently read an article which informed me that more and more school going boys are losing interest in reading, and females are dominating top spots in test scores. Somehow I thought that those boys just thought it wasn't 'cool' to read classics like Kidnapped and David Copperfield anymore... but now I realize that men are just happier being dumber than women nowadays.

*scratches her head* my husband said he was attracted to me because he thought that I thought that I was smarter than he was and it so infuriated him he had to marry me to put me in my place! He can't bear to have me beat him at chess or streetfighter or Sudoku or IQ tests, or... most things really, but he's really proud of me when I do. What is with men these days?:headbang:

I don't think I'd be attracted to a guy unless he was at least my equal in intelligence, although I would prefer someone slightly smarter than me. Although considering that I'm first in my class of nearly 500 people and I score in the top 1% on all of the standardized tests I've taken, it's kind of hard to find someone much smarter than me.:(

Intelligence is pretty much the only thing that could attract me to someone.

Not personally, but it makes sense really - intelligent guys are potential rivals, while intelligent girls are potential mates.

Feeling dumb makes me feel dumb.

Heh, no.

Depends on what you mean by "makes me feel dumb", though. I certainly wouldn't take well to being made fun of for not knowing something, so I'd equally hate males and females doing that. Although those people are usually arrogant assholes anyway, so they wouldn't deserve better.

Someone just being smarter than me, however, wouldn't qualify as "making me feel dumb", so why would I hate them? And intelligence is certainly the major factor in how attracted I am to guys. As long as he doesn't make me feel dumb. ;)

Ditto.

other people were I live is so stupid, I get frustrated!
I tend to like smart women, dumb ones I just ignore or something.

If I was bipolar I would also get sad for no reason, and I would be really happy as opposed to somewhere between meh and happy.

I don't know if it's really a thing of smarter or dumber or whatever. If I feel stupid it's because I should, like I did something stupid, blanked, made a mistake that I know better than. That makes me feel stupid and if someone clowns me on it I kind of had it coming. If it's just not know some part of a cannon or something like that, well fuck man, everyone's experiences are different. I'm not going to feel stupid if I don't know some minutia about a computer, I don't fucking care-I'm not stupid I'm uninterested. And I tend to think it's arogance more than intellegence when someone rates 'smart' and 'stupid.' I mean, there is obvious smart, and obvious stupid. If I have a question I'm going to listen to Stephen Hawkins more often than Jessica Simpson. But other than that, it's arbitrary really.

I like a chick that can teach me things, or show me something or turn me on to something, introduce me to something I wouldn't be otherwise. I might not always be into it, but I'm always into learning about something new. It's not so much that she is smarter than me or dumber than me, but that she has something I can get into about her. And I like being able to get her into things she wouldn't have been otherwise, show her something new or a new look on something old. I don't know that it's really just smarter or dumber but a different experience to add to my own to be more than the sum of the two parts. I dig that.

Even like way back when I was playing and I dated another musician, she even played the same horn, but we still learned from each other. We both thought that the other was a better player and it actually made us both better players. I'd be all, "You're better because I can't do that." "Oh, that, you jsut do this. You're better because I can't do that." "That's easy, you just do this. But I can't do what you do here..." etc. In the end we where both better players. I don't know the point of that story...oh yeah, different experiences adding up, you know? We where both way better for being together.

I don't ever really want to get caught up in the "I'm smart, and that persons stupid, and that person is slightly smarter than that one, etc."

Having said all that, I wouldn't want to be with someone who isn't at least a curious person. It's not smart so much as curious that's intriguing and attractive, and I think matter much more than an established criteria of intellegence, because a curious person will learn, even if she doesn't always remember or sometimes makes mistakes or whatever, the exploration is much more fun than the showing off.

*smirk* I'm glad to see the breeding program is working. Poor, foolish men, you've been engineered to be attracted to smart women, that's how we preserve the line of smart women down the millenia. :p

I like the ones that talk nerdy to me. :cool:

I'd love to meet someone I could hold a decent conversation with. I mean about abstract and odd things that I think about.


If light is a particle and all matter warps space time when it moves why does light which is moving at the speed of light not distort space time?

Took me about a week to figure that one out. I think up odd crap while bored at work. Just wish I had the kind of physics background that would allow me to figure such things out faster.

Evolutionary biology in action! ;)

If oxygen is fuel for fire and hydrogen is flammable, why doesn't water burn?

Because water is what you get when you burn (oxidize) hydrogen. It's already been burned.

This is why I love chemistry. :p (well, actually I don't, but you know what I mean)

Heh, no.

Yeah, I had a friend who made me feel dumb sometimes, mostly just because he was an elitist and talked about how superior he was quite often. Of course, he never had nearly as high grades as me, just an IQ of about ten points higher (mine's 132).


Ditto.

Yeah. :)

I'm not attracted to guys who act condescending to me with regards to intelligence, but I have to admit to enjoying a power struggle with guys I like. The perfect guy for me would have to be exactly my equal in every way, and that, I'm sure, would lead to some fun sparring matches. In fact, my favourite way to flirt with guys is to engage in some light-hearted arguing.

I don't need people to feel dump... just a little bit of loving from MaryJane...

I find intellegence attractive. However, I myself being no slouch, have never had the oppurtunity to date someone so much smarter than myself, that they make me feel dumb. Those folks are all to smart to date me.:p

Feeling dumb makes me feel dumb.

Reading this thread is making me go dumb.
