Do you like smart or stupid women?

[St Leo]

But given the inverse relationship between beauty and intelligence (in both sexes), I wasn't particular about intelligence back when I was simply dating, since it's a Draconian upper limit on looks*.

Actually, I am guessing that the problem is that both intelligence and looks are distributed via independent normal curves. You aren't likely to find someone who has extremely good stats in both of them (i.e. Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet) due to the simple laws of probability.

This is the point where theists disagree with me because they don't believe in probability.

Smart and outgoing. I'm a bit shy myself, so I need a woman who's able to give me a kick in the ass every now and then.

Why settle for something inferior...

Why not - she did.

most smart women are evil...

I like my women smart... I can't stand having political conversations with dolts... (hmm why do I post here? )

[Traianvs]

Arf, political discussions are hopeless... I've never convinced anyone, ever, that I'm right on something, and neither has anyone convinced me that he was right on his subject!

i like intelligent girls, preferably ones that have some idea of global politics. i once had a crush on a girl that was a lot smarter than me (calculus / physics wise) and that started to turn me off.

i dont like feeling inferor i guess

[Drogue]

The smarter the better, and definatly a bit shy. I don't like women that think they're smarter than they are.

I was going to ask if IQ is any good a measure of intelligence, but I don't want to start a flame war

I never met a woman my age that was smarter (knowledge, calculus, etc. not IQ) than me. let alone that I dated one. my current girlfriend is pretty smart if you look at her IQ (it being 145, to my 138), but she knows less than me on nearly all topics other than music.

I usually get pissed of if girls are a lot less smart then me. Hasn't happened with Sarah yet, so all is well. And I love it when she's when she beats me in an argument, or just in a game of chess.

The women who have thrown themselves at me (and yes, there have been three...) tended not to be too bright - I sometimes wonder if I wasn't being a little snobbish in brushing them off, but then not brushing them off would have been a little desperate...

[Urban Ranger]

Dang, they had to be really desperate there Senneca.

[Seneca]

Well, that's it - to paraphrase Groucho, who would go out with a woman who'd go out with me?

Mark... I trust she doesn't like you for your modesty...
