Dating And IQ Requirements

[Celestia]

Damn, I feel called out because that's exactly what I do with a man I like More on his insisting than mine tho, as I would (sometimes) prefer more shallow topics

Lol same. If I like someone, I want to have in-depth convos. I don’t even mind conflicting opinions, I’d welcome them.
I couldn’t imagine spending my life with someone only talking surface-level. It surprises me how often others don’t require deep connections.

There is a minimum, but dating a girl with an average IQ is the worst actually, you get every average borring interests a girl can have, with meaningless conversations and she will be intelligent enough to also become annoying.

Airhead level can even be attracting and a lot more fun on daily basis (if physic follows), and sometimes they end up having a different type of intelligence, or it's a roleplay and they are actually very intelligent. Never intellectually underestimate bimbos is what i learned.

Really? I think personal interests can be more related to personality than intelligence.

Some women just pretend to be dumb blondes. Jayne Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe supposedly had genius IQs., but some sources also claim that Bar Refaeli has a 70 IQ so who knows.

I never really even thought about it when I was in college. I had other priorities, and girlfriends' IQs weren't high on the list. I just wanted to start a thread that might get several responses. I'm not a big fan of "classify him" and "passify her".

The thread is an interesting one though, that's why it got replies, and quality replies for the matter, the usual booming threads are whatever "who's whiter?" competition.

Yep, that's a perennial one. It's right up there with "are Sicilians White?".

Understandably so. But I'd rather talk about life in general than to get into "academic, high IQ" conversations, that's what I meant mostly. Those often come from places of ego and midwit. The chess part a bad example, I tried to use something commonly related to intelligent people. Playing games with a significant other is very fun actually.

I'm hostile to the idea of caring much about IQ because I'm not a big fan of it, as it leads people into determinism and ignores that there is a whole set of tools, heritage, habits and emotions that involve the making of a person and their path in life. Nassim Taleb's article is interesting on making a point against its efficiency at all.

I hope my posts weren't contradictory mental diarrhea, but my veredict on the subject is that: I don't care about IQ in itself, but "intelligence", that would be, depth of thoughts and conversations, has its importance in the wide array of factors that lead into a successful life partnership. And at the end of the day we don't make our choices as analytically as that on the real world. Passion is opposite to rationality.

The main points would be: Physical attraction, moral and family values, sensible beliefs, emotional intelligence and IQ. I see that many scholars try to boil everything down to IQ points, this is not correct.

Low IQ people seem to me to make a lot of mistakes, stupid beliefs, lazy, affected by social fashions in many cases will be a headache to live with.

If your ideal woman is a woman note 1000 or wonder woman, you seem problematic and egocentric.

Say that you met your dream man or woman. What is the lowest IQ they could have before you would refuse to date them?

130, too easy
