This post is being taken down because it violates Rule #4: Keep it civil and on topic.

We aren't always going to agree on everything, but at the very least, the discourse here will remain on topic and civil.

They are attracted to social intelligence because that demonstrates perceived status. Book smarts does not equal social smarts.

Mysterious_Pickle_78 · 2024-08-19T06:00:13+00:00

Intelligent chicks dig intelligent dudes.

dogenes09 · 2024-08-19T04:53:00+00:00

Because intelligence increases your survivability, and the survivability of those around you.

Holiday_Treacle6350 · 2024-08-19T06:21:46+00:00

girls are attracted to passion, if you're passionate about a topic and you've done your research you come off as 'intelligent'

One-Hedgehog4722 · 2024-08-19T05:04:38+00:00

Its not just intelligence but how you convey your intelligence. Its not what you say but how you say it. That why 2 comedians can get on stage and say the same joke, one gets laughs the other doesnt, it was all about the delivery.

Fantastic-Life-2024 · 2024-08-19T06:44:20+00:00

When girls say intelligence they mean problem solving ability.

If you are a guy who can strip down an engine some girls will like that.

If you are a software development some will like that. If you are an engineer some will like that.

EOD_Bad_Karma · 2024-08-19T08:11:05+00:00

Why wouldn't they be?

Women are attracted to a lot of positive aspects. Looks will get you into bed, but everything else will keep them wanting you beyond just that.

LockDownHalfGuard · 2024-08-19T04:34:32+00:00

Some women value intelligence, most don't give a crap unless you pass their looks threshold.

Such_Orchid_7759 · 2024-08-19T04:18:26+00:00

There’s a floor that each woman will have for all variables you’re talking about. Some women will find more intelligence more appealing than extra inches of height over their threshold. For example - guy gets a 4.0 but is 5’9” (her floor) vs guy who gets 3.0 (her floor) and is 6’2”.

But that kind of woman is rare. Most women will prefer the superficial.

You’re probably underestimating the non-intelligence parts of yourself. Most women will say shit like “you’re so smart/smooth/funny” etc. but they actually just think you’re tall/handsome/cute. They don’t wanna say the superficial stuff cause… it sounds superficial.

nunsaymoo · 2024-08-19T04:27:39+00:00

Because nerds aren't intellectual. Their idea of art and culture is anime and Marvel.

peanut-britle-latte · 2024-08-19T04:48:51+00:00

Signals ability to garner resources and make good decisions.

gunks23 · 2024-08-19T07:40:53+00:00

Because sex gets boring, and your looks fade.

Old_Luck285 · 2024-08-19T11:10:59+00:00

Because for most women sex is in large parts mental. It's the fantasy created between her ears that turns her on.

Clever men will have it easier to create this attraction.

I think this 'social intelligence' is more important than logical problem solving abilities.

idontwannabhear · 2024-08-19T08:13:04+00:00

Because intelligence is king, else the world would be run by peacocks

KarmicPlaneswalker · 2024-08-19T09:44:11+00:00

Women don't value practical intelligence in the slightest. You could be the smartest man in the world, but if you look like a 3ft goblin, they will want nothing to do with you.

So long as you pass their initial test in the looks/physical department (face, height, etc), the rest of your attributes are of significantly less relevance.

Far_Camel3699 · 2024-08-19T11:10:04+00:00

Have you ever dealt with fools?

Intelligence and strong will or character are the most valuable things a man could possess. Intelligence before will probably even.

Dealing with or talking to fools is beyond tiresome at time since they don't understand anything and fail to see what you're saying. In my experience they also fail to recognize their own incompetence and so instead of following your plan they devise their own, which ends up failing even though you told them before.

bongtokent · 2024-08-19T11:25:21+00:00

Because most women believe it or not are looking for a lifetime partner they can have kids with. When you come off as stupid or not knowing how to spell all they think is “eww my kids are going to be this stupid”. When you’re smart it’s “holy shit we could have successful smart babies.”

SURFcityUTAH · 2024-08-19T11:44:31+00:00

Have you ever talked with a really stupid person? Ever argued with one?

CerebralMessiah · 2024-08-19T07:38:00+00:00

They could be, being smart in a bookish or maybe philosophical sense can greatly help in carrying a convo.

At one point i talked to a girl that was a Math Phd at like 28,she seemed weirdly infatuated with me,because it was much easier to carry a convo later on.

Ypu still do need social intelligence to get a foot in the door though.

valterilian · 2024-08-19T10:51:18+00:00

This actually confuses me boys. I’ve lived in the Philippines for 18 years. The intelligent guys pull as much as good looking guys over there. I went to LA for college and the girls would not bat an eye to the smart ones. They would rather fuck low-life boys. Is it just college?

TokyoMonkey · 2024-08-19T12:11:51+00:00

I love how you view intelligence as not important, like that puts the bar low. What the??? 🤣

Ok_Click4158 · 2024-08-19T06:09:21+00:00

They're not

DatingVX · 2024-08-19T09:33:09+00:00

This is a little odd of a remark

Its usually looks, vain things over intelligence. Intelligence is a sign of potential, earning potential, status, curiosity, knowledge of the world, deep conversations

Usually its about $ or looks convo

canardu · 2024-08-19T09:35:16+00:00

Are they? Every girl I know say this but then when you look at their partners they are quite average or often below average.

artonion · 2024-08-19T11:06:58+00:00

Aren’t you attracted to intelligence? Why/why not?

It’s almost as if different people are attracted to different people..

yvngjiffy703 · 2024-08-19T11:57:32+00:00

The same reason men are attracted to intelligence

Epiphanic_Eros · 2024-08-19T12:18:01+00:00

Women love poets and musicians, too. It shows you have the skills to handle the world and other people

MrAnonPoster · 2024-08-19T13:13:18+00:00

For the same reason you dont want to date someone for whom walking and chewing a gum ar the same time is a monumental effort

Open-Illustra88er · 2024-08-19T13:23:25+00:00

Can’t fix stupid.

Almost Everything else can be altered.

Yamochao · 2024-08-19T13:32:24+00:00

Because it’s an essential human quality for fitness, survival, and for protecting, nurturing, and providing for children

Ak4shde3p · 2024-08-19T07:39:46+00:00

You seek for what you lack!

ARRokken · 2024-08-19T05:16:34+00:00

Cause men who are intelligent sound sexy when they talk.

emirsolinno · 2024-08-19T04:38:07+00:00

I think intellegence is a broad term. I would say that most women admire passionate and successful men, not every intelligent men are passionate or successful.

txanpi · 2024-08-19T07:30:28+00:00

Yeah, this must be in your country cause here intelligence is not the most value. Herr as in other many places, follow rules 1 and 2

zorg-is-real · 2024-08-19T09:46:47+00:00

Girls loves treats that increase survival. They also like "handyman" guy for that reason.

mafiargenta · 2024-08-19T11:17:07+00:00

Of course not, they want something bipedal with money and a hard cock. In that order, the rest is optional

sunsetblvds · 2024-08-19T14:05:09+00:00

why wouldn't we be?

Future_Network_2158 · 2024-08-19T14:18:15+00:00

Im a guy and im attracted to intelligence as well. Who wants to be with someone that cant carry on a conversation about interesting topics?

paulanoelle · 2024-08-19T14:35:51+00:00

You could look up the 8 Types of Intelligences or the theory of Multiple Intelligences by Gardner

Kylearean · 2024-08-19T14:40:12+00:00

There are a lot of really dumb guys out there. They might be attractive, but most quality women want an equal or to at least be challenged. So for longer term relationships, intelligence is a greater predictor of success than attractiveness.

A formidible intellect combined with emotional intelligence and confidence is ideal.

However, you definitely don't want to be a know-it-all or show off. Your intelligence should manifest in your choices and values.

sagricorn · 2024-08-19T14:42:15+00:00

Being better then average is attractive, independent of what it is. Hell, even with serial killers the freaks only flock to the worst ones. On a more positive note, that means being good at anything gives you a shot, but if it attracts the right crowd is another question.

ExtraordinaryBeetles · 2024-08-19T14:47:11+00:00

That's social intelligence, not academic intelligence. Hence why broke, red-flag losers can spend their lives with at least one partner at a time despite being knee deep in baby mama and ex drama and needing to be supported

DiscombobulatedSqu1d · 2024-08-19T15:22:10+00:00

Why the fuck wouldn’t they be? Intelligence means someone has the desire to understand and connect with the external world

aquilaruspante1 · 2024-08-19T16:09:44+00:00

Mate, my IQ is above the average and, trust me, that makes me less attractive.

sillieidiot · 2024-08-19T16:35:04+00:00

IMO, it's not the intelligence that they are particularly after, but it's the confidence. It just allows you to do stuff with more confidence. But if you're just smart but can't communicate or anything, it's just as useless as anything else.

NovemberAlpa · 2024-08-19T04:57:02+00:00

Its pretty simple in my opinion..

ask yourself, would you tolerate a chick that has no brains? im talking someone who you cant have any type of constructive conversation with?

and its also evolutionary, you really want your offspring to be dumb as bricks and make poor life choices?

Honest-Ad2811 · 2024-08-19T04:57:51+00:00

It's not just raw intelligence, it's emotional intelligence.

Dangerous_Dog6950 · 2024-08-19T16:39:06+00:00

Most women are attracted to dumb good-looking guys... I should know, I was one...

SithLordJediMaster · 2024-08-19T05:25:45+00:00

Evolutionarily, it's to pass on those genes of intelligence to their kids.

CyndaquilTyphlosion · 2024-08-19T10:11:58+00:00

Nobody values intelligence, lmao

ballfond · 2024-08-19T04:19:35+00:00

They also like idiots when they poison pill themselves
