Nope, it's the other way around

>>10655123
thats circular, look at her.

>>10655123
>Nope, it's the other way around
The other way around is your IQ remaining unaffected.

My grades when to shit when I had a girlfriend.

my gf makes me wnat to do really good in life,

i want to do well for myself of course but it's an added boost because you want to be good for the people in your life, and a gf/wife is a huge part of your life.

>another IQ thread

>>10655114
I just want someone to look at me like this

>>10655114
Being happy might affect your score as opposed to being neutral or depressed.

>>10655216
>"when to"
seems about right

>>10655132
Which is consistent with his 'nope'. Your point?

>>10655402
I wish I had a gf.

>>10655402
this
i went from loser failing bsc to doing phd thanks to her also my personality improved a lot and i take more care about my appearance and health
literally no downsides and on the positive side im not even counting not feeling lonely and having constant support of some other person

>>10655470
>tfw cucked by autocorrect

It really depends on who she is.

>>10655402
this, getting a gf got me out of depression and fixed my life

>>10655216
women are very time consuming

My GF was a dumbass but having her around really improved my self-esteem and personality. I started fucking up big time in school and losing sight of my goals after she and I separated.

I fucking hate the fact that I need external influence to remain motivated. It makes me feel extremely powerless.

>>10655114
my grades went up when I got a gf, probably because I was socially exhausted because I was lonely and she helped

also no longer waste my time on masturbating to anime

>>10655114
How can I get a gf if I can't build muscle?

>>10655114
Depends on the girl.

Ofcourse, there would be no hot girls in this world if not for the mad lads who went against the "don't stick your dick in crazy" rule.

>>10655114
It doesn't affect your IQ but it does affect the amount of effort you put into your work or education.

>>10655414
Isn't the spirit of /sci/ all about proving who has the biggest IQ-penor?

having a gf stunts my creativity, because i cant do weird wacky stuff with philosphy, math, web programming, art etc. but other then that its good

>>10655114
>Do having a gf affect your IQ?
Yes, it do.

>>10655402
Not everybody runs on approval, beware the wide range of shitbags who will locate that in you and use it to jerk you around or just make you suffer for kicks.

>>10657605
This is bscly what separates a person of societal value from a self-indulgent wanker, though. It's literally on par with that idiom about a tree falling in the forest with no one around to hear it.

>>10657610
>but other then that its good
>then
>its
blame your phone you blockhead

Girlfriends just take up time and resources. Pump and dump until you decide you want kids and then find a young girl who hasn't hit the wall.

>>10655414
>another frogpost

>Prepare the "subject" for braiding by brushing and gathering the hair to be braided into one strand.

Designer stubble is a short growth of a man's facial hair that became popular in the 1980s. Several companies manufacture beard trimmers designed to maintain the designer stubble look[4]. Being created by short trimming of the beard to (typically) 1 to 3mm designer stubble is distinct from five o'clock shadow which is the much lighter, stiffer growth which is the first sign of the return of the beard after shaving
>For the stubble remaining in fields after harvest, see crop residue.

I'm unironically too clever for a GF. They are only interested in clubbing, I'm more interested in the colonisation of Mars.

>>10656099
It is very expensive.

>>10655114
Depends on the girl of course

>>10655414
This IS the /iq/ board.

>>10658490
Females, wives, concubines, must be considered household employees.

You are running a Firm (Family)

In theory when managing a Firm, your IQ shouldn't be affected by your employees IQ. My IQ is separate from the employees that I manage.

>>10657609
To some extent yes, but you also need to enjoy it, otherwise you definitely will burn out. Everyone hits the wall some day

>>10659054
>in theory
And if you keep talking like that and watching anime your family will stay a theory

>>10659455
The recursive gains are primarily memetic, but as a board we process memes differently. Eventually there will be a singularity of intelligence on /sci/.

>>10659054

Opinion discarded.

>>10655114
If it's a shitty relationship it will negatively impact other facets if your life.

However, I've been with my GF for 3.5 years, living together for the past 2. I've gotten much better communication, conflict resolution, etc. which I apply at my cash money Fortune 200 semiconductor internship and get an advantage over the other engineers who don't have these skills.

I'm much more confident and speak up in meetings and network with people older than me. Also, you will improve as a person because you have someone holding you accountable for being shitty when you live with them.

>>10660272
Also, if you find that special gf where it's literally like playing life on 2-player mode, you're set. I'm an EE and my GF is trying to bust into BigLaw. Dual income right out of law school will be nutty.

>>10657641
I pity all the damaged men who think this way. Negative feedback circle of delusion that gets reinforced by the communities they become part of.

>>10660275
Can confirm. Girlfriend has been a geologist for 6 years now and I was working in the oilfield. Dual income without kids is one of the better cheat codes in life.

>>10660315
That's a demographic effect. It wouldn't happen unless preexisting stereotypes were actually causing it across the sampled population.

>>10655114
Isn't this Rose?

>>10655114
It would make me happier, and that would probably lower my chronic low level stress -- which would raise my iq.

My gf makes me suffer a lot and I since shes the first one I am with and love her so much Its difficult to contain all my insecurities and my jealousy.

I wont be passing any class this semester. Not that it wasn't like this before, but at least before I would pass a couple courses. Now its all over.

If your gf makes you happy, a gf will boost your iq.

If not, it will lower your iq.

>>10657529
Fuck, I know this feeling too damn well.

I know very successful students who have girlfriends, but for me, they are too time-consuming. I guess it can be beneficial or a hinderance, it just depends on who you are.

>>10659054
The IQ of your children is dependent on the average of you and your wife. So the 'Firm' is affected.

>>10655114
Yes, Income Quality does get affected by a gf

>>10655114
Ironically, your shitpost aside, it actually does. Intelligence above a certain level is completely unnecessary for survival and the only reason you reach that level is because you need to compensate for your lack of sex, so your brain goes into maximum overdrive to bruteforce its way into having you reproduce. This is exactly also why people who didn't get much sex in their teens and uni years are the ones to become billionaires and noteworthy scientists later on, because their brain forces them to acquire resources or approval as a compensation for the lack of sex.
In fact, if you think about it, most of the things someone would do in his life boil down to two things: personal preservation first, reproduction second. It's so bad that you're quite literally incapable of basing your actions on something higher that doesn't boil down to:

>making yourself more attractive in the eyes of the opposite sex
>your ego striving to receive approval of the group to achieve the above
>basic survival of either you or your offspring/family

Many people claim that they're after this higher purpose, that X political law should be changed so society prospers, that Y disease should be cured, Z invention should be invented, but there is no actual "higher purpose" behind their desire to achieve these, it's all literally just survival/reproduction but masked behind the abstract delusions of the ego and its desire to appear the selfless hero of society, again, for the very same purpose.

>>10655114
Nah. My girlfriend is an EE and I’m a double major in math and physics. We study a lot together (though we never took classes together, so it was more teaming up whenever one of us didn’t know an answer to our homework / interesting problems), but the actual relationship is based on “normal” activities like video games/card games, watching movies while cuddling, going to museums, reading the same novels, and cooking together. We’ve been going out for 2 years, and I think my GPA has shot up because she’s a really good influence on me, despite taking up so much of my time

>>10660700
You need to get your life in check. You can’t base all your time around her. I understand how it feels to constantly expend energy on being jealous and insecure (which I did with one of my prior girlfriends), but you have to not give a shit to some extent and focus on your own affairs. Only from doing so will you derive happiness that originates from your own hands. A good partner complements you in that regard, and it’s safe to be invested in each other’s well-being because they’ve earned your trust. Focus on school first and foremost

>>10655114
Love negatively effects your IQ.
Reasons include hormones going haywire and the fact love is pretty similar to morphine or opioid effects

>>10661456
You're of a smaller group of high I people who seek high IQ people and learn from each other. You are unfortunately an exception.
Most people enter a relationship where they serve themselves or serve their partner.

My closest friend she is brilliant so she actually makes me smart. We can just sit there and daydream talk shit and think for hours together. Sooulmates.

>>10661545
I wouldn't say most people do that. I'd say most young people do because relationships are, when you're first starting out, about validation and attraction than companionship or a growing sense of attachment. I wouldn't consider myself high IQ by any means. Our goals aren't to "learn from each other," as much as it is that we enjoy each other's company, even in the banality of regular couple activities.

>>10655114
yeah I live with my GF and teach her random Spanish phrases, tell her history stories and myths sometimes, name plant and animal species when we're outside or whatever, just general knowledge stuff. All of which helps me retain knowledge i guess and makes me want to look stuff up when there's something i don't know.
What would be fantastic is if she could also share some of her knowledge with me (speaks three languages i don't know and studies architecture) but the little sket selfishly keeps it to herself.

It doesn't increase your IQ. Not unless you would be starving for social interaction otherwise.

This is not a static variable. If your GF is a cow that does nothing all day and you're a cuck who needs to serve a brood wench like that it could possibly increase your IQ. If you absorb someone elses lifestyle it would lower your IQ.

There are tons of different variables here.

Alright guys, lets not get ahead of ourselves.

>>10659054
>Females, wives, concubines, must be considered household employees.
So how do you monetize your GF?

>>10655114
with gf, there is slight decline in abstract/intellectual conversation about math and such things

however they also are a moderating force that adds punishment for excessive drinking and drug use and make healthy food for you to eat. so overall they have a net positive impact. that is my experience with the wife.

>>10657529
nearly everyone needs external motivation anon. its how humans are built. use this knowledge to put yourself in situations where the external motivation pushes you in a direction you want to be.

understand your core tendencies and work with them.

>>10657610

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>10660315
How do you pity them? It’s difficult to fathom their general paradigm - people this sociopathic and incapable of empathy have such distorted minds you wonder how a person can become so disconnected from reality. Think of the context. A child who probably couldn’t help but care about his friends’ feelings turned into the person you just quoted.

>>10661426
At large you are correct but
>It's so bad that you're quite literally incapable of basing your actions on something higher
There are infrequent yet apparent cases where like you and I a person realizes said things and might behave in pursuit of some other trivial, yet more intelligible passion. Certain monks may an example but I am thinking more of an artist of sorts or scholar.
