Intelligence: Do you care? (1 Viewer)

[Ennaybur]

an attractive and intelligent person can be pickier.

The real question should be "Do you care if your partner would rather discuss football than philosophy?" as that's all it effectively amounts to.

is it... is it really?
consider a hideously ugly but self-aware individual on the look out for a potential "mate". would they judge the suitability of the potential mate by their attractiveness? i know if i was this hideously ugly but self-aware individual i wouldn't, because it's hypocritical. (maybe this is a particular inhibition that i have but others don't). i'd look for something else that I can relate to.

sorry for speaking darwinian

I'm no model, but I still look for hot girls. It's a sign of insecurity forcing yourself to lower your standards imo.

or realism?

If you're always aiming too high, yet you really want a relationship(/sex) then isn't it sensible to lower standards?

GOOD FOR YOU SON! What do you consider a hot girl?

no i don't think people would go for pretentious twats; in my case "would you have your partner be capable of discussing both philosophy as well as [insert inane activity here]?" and the answer would be a resounding yes.

 

[Enteebee]

Everyone's capable of discussing both, it's a question of preference, which they prefer to talk about.

it's beside the point, but holy shit you generalise.

If you keep failing because you only go for a rediculous, specific type of girl, then yeah you need to become more open minded. However, the whole notion of needing to lower your standards is just a bad frame of mind.

not just philosophy though, things like science, politics, economics, art
imao these all count as intelligent conversations

;p that generalization was unintentional. that whoel post was overtly subjective,

Think of attractiveness as wealth and a party as walking into a car dealership. You might want the sports car, but it's never going to happen, you probably won't even get a test drive - So just be happy with your fucking lancer because it probably doesn't think you're a porche yourself.

To me philosophy covers pretty much the entire spectrum of the arts, I don't mean specifically meaning of life type shit lol

fair enough, to me it just implies the same thing. lower standards = accept people who aren't 'x' = being more open minded, i guess.

Attractiveness is more your body's natural appearance.
