Why is it that women claim they attracted to intelligence, yet default to dating physically attractive "alpha males" that have very little intelligence to account for instead? I'm starting to believe women only think they're attracted to intelligence in men, yet probably never even met a truly smart individual that they could find alluring, interesting, and datable. I'm saddened by this.

>Why is it that women claim they attracted to intelligence
I think I found the problem.
It should be "they are attracted".
You are welcome OP.

>> No.3988722

I probably shouldn't be taking a troll thread seriously, but I think men and women have different definitions of intelligence in the dating ring. According to some past posts on /sci/, men don't like dating a girl that's smarter than them, just only if she's equally as intelligent as they are.

women are attracted to guys that are good-looking and have a "nice personality" (depends on the woman). After that comes how well-off the guy is (can he provide a house/food for her kids. After that comes intelligence and other qualities.

Most women also just use guys for their money (they stay with them for a few months so they can get free dinners and presents and other things), and then move on to the next guy.

I'll admit that women who claim that intelligence is at the top of their list of what they find attractive in a guy, yet date someone who doesn't possess an insignificant smarts, might be just spewing out bullshit, but girls do like smarts to an extent.

Because it takes intelligence to recognize what intelligence is, and women don't have that, so they don't, which explains perfectly what's going on here. So women are fairly stupid and fall into the same traps that fairly stupid people fall into.

Similarly we can explain why Niggers claim to be civilized yet fail to act that way. It's because they aren't civilized. They are tribal and that's inconsistent with Western Civilization.

MIGHT BE spewing out bullshit? Consult with the graphic to the left, please. Lying is intrinsic to the female of the species. Women have no power over men, really, so they lie to obtain a superior position.

See the problem is: you only think that about yourself, it's a confirmation bias on your side skewed by vague past experiences and infirm examples of past individuals. You've likely have never meant anybody of significant intellect and skill to account for and paint this misapprehension with a false and altered blend of what makes a person intelligence. And even if you did, all you would have here is confirmation biases, anchoring effects, and anecdotal evidence on intellect than any actual particulars and validity of the subject matter, nothing conclusive to go off of; especially when you keep driving the "speak for all" bias over your head.

You're angry at women because you're ugly, lonely and horny. It isn't womens' fault that they aren't attracted to you. It's also not your fault you were born ugly. Life isn't fair much of the time. Don't let bitterness make you ugly inside too, and be willing to settle for someone on your level who is bright, or you're a hypocrite. Having an above average IQ doesn't entitle you to the love or sexual attention of women who aren't attracted to you and trying to make that reflect badly on them will not somehow trick or oblige them to choose you over someone else they would much prefer.

Simple answer:

A good portion of 'intelligent' people are boring as fuck. I had dinner with a few people from the Mathematics club at my University, and I absolutely fucking loathed it. Of course, I expect people to converse about Mathematics in Mathematics club, but I didn't expect it for fucking dinner. All they did was talk about Mathematics, how it relates to Physics, etc.

Even if someone understands it(I'm a senior, so I've taken all of the classes they're currently in and understand it), it's just a drag to talk about it. I could never imagine being married to a female mathematician who talks my ear off about mathematics. I'm a human being who enjoys other aspects of life, such as art, poetry, writing/reading, sex, hiking/camping, etc. There's more to life than your career choice, and that's what most 'intelligent' people don't seem to understand. That, or their apathetic about everything else that isn't their career/major. Also, very smug. Females can detect pompous attitudes from a mile away, and most women do NOT like pompous attitudes.

Pompous != Confidence. Arrogance != Confidence.

my grammar is actually fairly good most of the time...perhaps you mean my punctuation is horrible, which his quite true, and i honestly dont give a fuck anyway (i CAN use good punctuation, but it takes a bit of thought, and i prefer to type fast and to not care, seeing as i can still be understood just as well)

even if i dont seem intelligent to you here, i do perform well academically... you can doubt that if you like, i dont particularly care.

and even if i were stupid, that wouldnt necessarily have any bearing on whether i like intelligent guys or not. i could be a complete moron and still be choosey and only go for intelligent guys...would be a bit hippocritical, but i could still do it anyway.

When ever in the history of human beings has a woman's claim to anything been a valid indicator of reality?

Never once heard women are attracted to intelligence, I've even seen studies that show when the female is smarter than the male the couple is more likely to be happy.

From what I've seen women like good looking guys who are socially adept and sometimes make stupid decisions.

I'm male. And again, you make yourself feel that contempt because it feels better to blame them and vent your frustration as anger than to confront your own shortcomings. Your ego demands that you rationalize rejection
as resulting from defects in women rather than from your inability to appeal to them.

Wrong. I didn't "make myself" feel contempt. It arose naturally from observation and cold calculation.

And who said I've been rejected by women? I've turned them down in each and every case. That's what you do when you meet up with some sort of chimp, looking for love. Who the fuck can love a chimp?

Women are attracted to intelligent men, the same way men are attracted to women with a sense of humor.

It doesn't mean women want someone who can calculate quickly, and it doesn't mean men want a girlfriend who's a standup comedian. These indicators are more of a veiled way of saying "i don't want someone who doesn't have these" not "i want a person who has a lot of these"

Women don't want a dolt, men don't want a bore. If they happen to excel in intellect or humor that's fine, but it only matters to the extent that it isn't a persons weak point.

And as far as intelligence goes, shame on sci for thinking scientific mindedness is the default type of intelligence. Women want a man who is savvy, clever, Knowledgeable, and witty. Men want a woman who can have fun, act silly, and laugh at jokes.

>> No.3990297

Don't get me wrong, i love women. I couldn't if i wasn't able to outmaneuver them. They like playing social tests, mind games, and if you can't see what they're doing and outwit them they walk all over you. If you can play their own games better than they can, you have no trouble with them. If you can't, they think you are either weak, or stupid.

Examine everything they say, every meaning, and twist it back on them if they are trying to subvert meaning or manipulate you. Mind games can actually be fun, if you aren't terrible at them. Fox and the grapes indeed.
