Is anyone else here sapiosexual? Guys like to tell me they're into smart women...

by being*

I wish the girl is smarter than me. If I'm smarter than you it's a fuckin problem.

You have to keep in mind your age range, OP.
If you're late teens/early 20s, chances people are just talking to you because they want to fuck you.
When they figure out you actually intend to have complex conversation, they might try to seek sex elsewhere.
It's dumb, but it's sadly just how our society works at the moment.
People don't start trying to take personal relationships very seriously until their early 30s or so, from what I've personally experienced.
At least, all this goes for men. I don't have enough experience on the womens side of things to say on their end.

It's also possible that you're simply coming off too strongly in conversation. Not as in, diving too deep into complicated subjects, but your overall demeanor may be scaring them away, especially if you're extremely confident in your 'intelligence'.

There's really no way to tell what your issue is with people and complicated conversations unless I was able to see for myself, which is understandably not going to happen. There could be a lot more to the tone and structure of the conversations that may make them nosedive.

You're probably not as smart as you think you are. I made a 34 on the ACT, A in quantum mech in college, and the most overwhelming thing I learned is that I don't know shit. The more you learn, the more you realize you don't know.

>not as smart as you think you are

>"I bring up quantum mechanics on a date, why don't women like me?"

You're a retard

The age is not the problem (mostly). It is totally ok to fuck intelligent and / or dumb girls. For a relationship I prefere the smart ones. But it still is about love and good sex - intelligence is only the cherry on top.

is it really a trend for people who are really smart to also be socially retarded?

Yes, being a lot smarter than average, usually comes with detriments that balance it out.
The worst cases enter idiot savant territory, where their contributions to science could be immeasurable, yet their shoe tying abilities or lack thereof would never improve.

Beware of the dunning kruger effect.

People being both can happen, and it does, but probably far less often than this site would lead you to believe.

>Starting by talking about quantum mechanics.
>Confused why men don't like you.

If that's your opening discussion topic, I'm finding hard to believe anyone likes you, even plutonically.

Get some basic social skills.
Ask questions about the other person.
Ask questions about family, work, future aspirations, whether or not they've travelled.

People aren't put off by intelligence.
People are put off by smug cunts who think basic science knowledge means they're God's gift to the world of academics.

Failing to be a remotely interesting person, maybe you should just send nudes. At least people won't be repulsed unless in addition to being dull as a 2w lamp you're also an uggo.

Completely opposite experience. Sure normie circles are like that but there are outlier groups. The pen&paper/larp circle was one of those. Healthy 50/50 gender ratio and most had already made longterm calculations at 16 and wanted the smart ones as patners.

Intelligence by itself however doesn't mean much. Many act like normies. Saw some of the smartest people get likewise shitfaced to blackout drunk. One friend completely fucked his stomach - not exactly what you would expect from a genius who got perfect grades. Overall my observation is herd mentality exists independent of intelligence.

>plutonically
No op, but slight nitpick on my part, the god Pluton wasn't known for his nonromantic relationships with others or his philosophy on the subject.
That was Plato, which means that the word you were looking for, was platonically.

Think about it. A genius is an outlier by definition. Socially retarded equals being an outlier. They have to work harder pretending to be part of the group while the average person is part of it by their default behavior.

I'm typing on my phone while in my work break room.
I made one spelling mistake in a huge post.
You got me though.
All my points are definitely invalid now.

>a genius is an outlier
>a social retard is an outlier
>therefore, a genius is a social retard
i understand the point you're trying to make, i just don't think this is a very good way of making it

We get it, you don’t like dimwits. I actually have a liking towards people who aren’t as knowledgeable as myself. I get to explain things to them, and I can do it well enough that they are seemingly impressed by it. I wouldn’t want a partner that I have to explain basic concepts to, but I would like one who thinks I am pretty damn smart. Most people don’t know shit about quantum mechanics anyway, but I junk it is a good album.
>Inb4 bait
I know it is bait, but I’d rather play along anyway

OMG

The question everyone will ask himself is are you roleplaying to impress or really trying to share your interest? If your behavior suggests larping it's even more offputting.

I've seen this shit myself. Talks about how she does experiments in her homelab and when you question further shuts down and tries to avoid the question. If you are too dumb to lie believable how smart can you even be? Fake nerds are the lowest tier.

>a genius is an outlier
>therefore, a non-genius is not an outlier
i don't think you need to be a genius to be an outlier, and i don't think all geniuses are outliers

Maybe you just boring?

hey "geniuses"
friendly reminder that you can make all the makeshift nuclear fusion reactors in your garage, but at the end of the day you're literally just a human can do an interesting trick if you dont apply your genius into advancing a science or making a difference in the world

Isn't that what it comes down to? Social retard is a branding for people who behave different from group norm and thereby become an outcast. It doesn't mean that they are stupid, just that they choose to behave differently and a genius will behave differently the same way an idiot will behave differently. They are outliers at the opposite ends but they both end up being outcasts for acting outside the groups norm.

i ain't no genius, but i do think the shit they accomplish is pretty cool. humans like to be entertained, and i am human, so i like to be entertained. if i honestly can't contribute to society as well as some other people, the least i can do is kick back and not fuck with their work

>advancing a science or making a difference in the world

Who cares? Hedonism&Nihilism is the popular style. Humanity will die out at some point regardless. Just enjoy your ride and croak like the rest.

I've made no such claims user, your post might be entirely valid in relation to the op subject. My only purpose in replying to your post, was to point out your misspelling of the word platonically and showing off my knowledge of the existence of stories about a god named Pluton.
I didn't read the rest of your post once I stumbled upon that misspelling, so I wouldn't even know what points I would be claiming to be wrong based on correcting it.

>Social retard is a branding for people who behave different from group norm and thereby become an outcast
methinks the discrepancy between our comments comes down to what we each define as "social retard"
i never said social retards are actual retards
i'm not arguing against you or what you said.. just the way you said it. either way, i think we're both in agreement, for the most part
for all intents and purposes, i think you're pretty much correct

well, this is true but youre forgetting that only the civilized part of humanity is indulgent, its likely that once the west grows weak enough the muslims will take over.
whether they become indulgent too or they remain primitive is like a 50 50. but i think the cycle will continue and they too will die out

>sapiosexual
in the words of the great lyrical, miracle, spiritual individual: i cant put my dick in your college degree
stop trolling, man

its not for balance

spoken like a true leaf
glad to see another fan out in the wild

Machine learning & genetic engineering will kill whatever is left of current society. My only fear is that i might end up like those guys in 1600 believing to find eternal youth just around the corner- it might never happen in my lifetime. I really wish to see the shitshow happen before i croak.

I know, it's a side effect for having an atypically functioning mind.
Mentioning a balance was more about making the concept clearer, sort of like how really pretty people don't need to be intelligent to succeed because of the social benefits their appearance affords them, without it being a rule.
Making up polysyllabic words to describe what you find hot or to give yourself an identity, is victim mentality behavior on ops part.
I'm into brainy people too, to the point of feeling turned off romantically by people who aren't brainy.
But I support your stance, people who wave about their college degrees and expect you to fawn over them based on it aren't sexy at all, no matter how brainy they are.

we are headed for civil unrest at breakneck speeds
i predict the next couple of years will be the breaking point.
whats gonna happen? i have no idea but im just fascinated

Intelligence doesn't mean shit if you're a cunt.

also

Intelligence =/= education

Just because you know some facts about the hard sciences doesn't mean you really understand the world you live in. If that were the case, smart neckbeards would rule the world, but instead, they just earn a lot of money, and still live shit lives.

if ud rather have sex with an ugly bookworm, rather than a hot idiot, u r a part of the problem. U cant put your dick in iq

i think you're taking jon lajoie's lyrics too seriously

I can have sex with anyone that strikes my fancy.
It's forming a monogamous relationship, with romantic feelings and the potential for children that makes me attracted to a brainy partner.
I probably am, I was aware that it was probably a reference, I just didn't know to what. So I just went along with the message and my thoughts on it.

Why even reduce it to sex? For a relationship you want primarily someone you enjoy being around all day.

true. can't say it ain't interesting to see satirical lyrics be interpret in such fashion. methinks that's what this thread is all about, yeah?

Smart people don't give a shit about quantum ohysics, they talk about philosophy, economics, and technological advancement. Quantum physics are a science project at best and a wadte of time and money at worst.

Well sex is a vital component of a romantic relationship in my opinion, if it isn't there that person is just a really good friend of mine.
I wouldn't get into a relationship with someone who isn't someone I'd enjoy being around all day, no matter how good the sex is though.
So I guess it's about finding that equilibrium between a good friendship and sexual attraction.

Quantum computing is starting to get usable, if you are into crypto you also care about the implications in the next 20 years. I'm too much of a brainlet to understand the math but quantum resistant algorithms for encryption is hot shit.

dude, i just want a decent looking girl who can be a good mother

there's different types of smarts
that being said, you're likely above what they would consider smart girls. when guys say like smart girls they want girls that are on their level, not above it, and the large majority doesn't know about quantum mechanics

that relationship still requires her to be pretty

what if she was ugly?

Well I do have this thing, where a person can initially be unfortunate looking to me, only to have me associate their positive mental and personal qualities with their looks later on and then finding those looks sexually attractive.
You know the whole "love makes blind" idea.

it would be an embarrassment because im an 8, not gonna mix decent genes with uggo

so u r not attracted to her iq

its more effort investment and attachment, rather than associating her being "smart" with good looks and deluding yourself shes pretty

>category theory
I'm not familiar with this one, tell me more.

>implying people watch that shit

what? no. of course not. that would be retarded
dear women:
your education or your IQ has never made any man hard

You're probably right, which would put me in the group of people who are sexually attracted to minds instead of looks.

no. I mentioned the mechanism
u r attracted to your mind - your mind put in effort and now its crying its gonna be taken away, so u have to stick with your failed investment

Being intelligent or smart is one thing. Social/ interpersonal skills might be an area you need focus on if you're noticing an undesirable trend in your dating life. Just a though.

> sapiosexual
yes
but the rest you've dumped here is just to make yourself feel better. fuck off.

This user nailed it, I think. I know plenty of people like this and most of them never see it in themselves, even if you do it to them, it just angers them rather than initiating any self-reflection.

You might be intelligent, OP, but low self-esteem and overcompensation can be seen a mile away even by idiots. Even worse if your coping mechanism is to be an "intellectual", that usually comes off as smarmy and predictable. Also, if it's ever pissed you off when someone has done the same to you, then that should answer your question why you get ghosted. You don't come across as genuine, you come across as arrogant. Try to actually engage people, learn about them and their interests. If they're decent, they'll take an interest in yours too. It's a give and take.

I like intelligent women.
But they prefer dumb guys, cuz they're easier to manipulate.

Plus, I don't believe you are an actual female.
