As a man, yes. She would have to have an excellent personality though, and one I can tolerate.

As a woman, possibly, but much less likely, in general I would want my guy to be at least as smart as me, if not a bit more so (same for height), so unless he has some god-tier cope that allows him to surpass my other options, no.

For reproduction, both are probably off the table if monogamy is required.

You need to be with someone who reasonably close to your intelligence level. You're not going to be compatible with somebody who is several deviations above or below your intelligence level. Marrying somebody too smart is going to make you feel like shit because you're not as smart, and marrying somebody too stupid is going to result in you feeling frustrated and unfulfilled with your partner.
It doesn't have to be exact, there's a fairly broad interval around your own intelligence level that will work, but trying to pair a genius with a brainlet is asking for your relationship to blow up.

I like a guy who's pursing his phd in some science thingy and while I find interesting what he says,I become bored after a while, because he won't stop talking about science or germs and technology, he seems too focused on having "smart" conversations plus he won't leave his fucking house, he wanted to take me into a date once, but only to talk about science.

I don't consider myself to be smart but I think that non academic activties have value too, like rolling in the grass or stuff like that..

My goal is die a virgin.
It's pretty pathetic that my parents are telling me to get married. I don't know how to explain that I cannot be bothered to deal with a thot and probably our child.
It will get in the way of my life my career.
And the chances of divorce would be high because I'm not normal.

>> No.10352150

>>10351621
The dealbreaker is that they'd have to appreciate and at least partially understand what I do for a living.
While it's (probably) not impossible to vaguely explain abstract algebra and whatnot to a 90iq girl, the chances are certainly better with smarter people.
On the flipside, I'd have serious trouble appreciating the work of, for example, a nurse, which further brings the chances down.

I don't think so. I dated a girl who was basically an airhead before and I hated it. Also, I fucking detest small talk or anything with not even a modicum of intellectual stimulus.

>> No.10352193

>>10351621
No. I believe the basis of intimacy and romantic attraction is that other people are like worlds to explore, and a lens to see and experience reality through. If I choose to look through that lens, I have to have something useful and relateable, with a shared aspect that we can build something with.

Women and men are different, but it should be a partnership. Though in truth I've been deeply alone my entire life, and have literally zero primary basis to speak from.

>> No.10352266

>>10352167
I've known a couple dim people who don't like small-talk and pretty much have their shit together at all times. They weren't even necessarily slow unless the task at hand involved abstractions.

But if a new task was relatively simple and concrete, I've seen them pick it up quicker than normal, just by virtue, I'd guess, of good listening skills and knowing themselves and how they learn. (It really helps when someone isn't afraid to ask questions.)

It's just that it's at least as rare as in the rest of the population. I think the airheads exist at all levels of intelligence. But if you take a normal personality and make that person dumb, they're going to be pretty tiresome, where the gifted imbecile has an easier time making up for it.

I'd take the help/company of a diligent dullard over a sharp spastic in many cases.

>> No.10352309

I've a phd so I guess I'm smart. I really like girls who are smart and sharp and can keep up with me in my conversation. But I like girls who have normal interests and are not that smart too. So..it really depends on the person for me anyway.

You're an idiot, if you get bored about what he talks about and obviously loves doing then it obviously won't work out between you too. If anything he probably really appreciates the fact that you listen to him rambling about something he loves but if he finds out he bores you with it all that's gonna happen is a degradation in communication and a relationship with no good communication is bound to fail from the start.

>> No.10352347

No, never again. Did this once, married what I thought was the woman of my dreams. 5 years into our marriage she got bored and started sleeping around. Left me for dude she cheated with, he got her prego and then beat her up, she cheated on him and left him for another dude, who also got her pregnant again.
