Dating website for clever people?

Post Reply New Topic

As there are many dating websites, including, for example, those for people seeking a rich husband or wife (e.g. sugardaddie . com ), those looking only for sex and so on, I wonder if you know perhaps such a website where an emphasis would be on interests, character, thoughts rather than on pictures for example?

I.e. a dating website for "clever" people although I use that particular word quite loosely here but I mean people who are interested in many things beyond their immediate job/studies, are intellectual and having knowledge of various things. Perhaps a requirement for a longer life story and list of interests and no requirement for picture would be sufficient to create such a community.

Even if there is no such a website then it would be interesting to hear if at some particular dating websites there are more such people than in others.

lol I don't know any. I do know that being intelligent can actually make it difficult to date. I have had women say they can't relate to me because we are on very different levels intellectually. On the other hand, I have friends who have a grade 9 or 10 education who get women left and right.

You can do online dating on this website. Alot of us are into interests or at least I am as opposed to sex, pics, and whatever. You just have to look around. As opposed to the statement above, I luv guys that're smart and want to share interests. If they have no interest in you, move on to the next. There are a lot of different ppl out there. Sometimes it takes time and a little trust to find that right someone. Rejection can be hard, you just have to respect their wish and look for someone else who appeals to your taste.

The problem is that a) there are very few people on the more 'intellectual' or geeky sites compared to any other kind and b) they're even more male-dominated than the usual dating sites (read: if you're a heterosexual male, it's just about the worst way of looking for someone).

Everyone knows women have smaller brains and can't be clever. Give up now.

Hey, I resent that.

The word clever tends to carry different connotations than you probably intended.

That is rather offensive.

MissConstrue - I have tried here - wrongplanet. net/ postp991026.html& highlight=#991026 - but without much luck. Probably it is much easier for girls because the strong majority of members here are male.

It always amuses me when diagnosed Aspies think they know sh*t about women.

OMG, you looked at my profile and saw that I'm a diagnosed aspie. How clever of you!
It always amuses me when somebody can't recognize an obvious joke.

But seriously, since you guys don't seem to get it, let me spell it out: What I said was not meant literally. You were supposed to laugh at the stereotype and go on.

I think we can see who's really clever and who's not.

I thought so. Just wanted to be sure.

Sorry WurdBendur,

I didn't know it was a joke. There are some guys out their who really believe that crap. Had no idea. I can be sarcastic too at times and ppl get upset when they don't get it.

Although there may be some truth in what he said. Traditionally I have met more guys fitting the definition of clever I have presented than girls.

Such facts as that for example in chess there are separate tournaments for men and women usually and women tends to perform worse (only a couple of them in worlds top 100 by FIDE ranks) and, as was mentioned by someone else in this topic, similar situation exists in various internet forums drawing clever people (they are male dominated), proves this subjective opinion to some extent.

Anyway, I am sure this is not an absolute rule, but probably it is much harder for a clever guy to find a clever girl than vice-versa because the proportion is far from 1:1.

In my life I have probably met only three clever females (as per definition above) - of course, it is hard to say for sure because two of these three I know relatively little so I might be wrong about them and also there are other girls around me who might be clever but I don't know enough about them to find that out.

Sorry for my English by the way as it is not my native language.

Understandable, though even if someone is being serious and really believes something like that, my philosophy is still to laugh at them because they aren't worth worrying about. Some guy is a jerk? Be glad you're not him.



Well, you make a point, but it's not the same thing. It seems that men and women tend in general to take different approaches, men typically being more analytical and women being less so (more emotional or illogical?), but that says nothing about capacity. It may also be a matter of social perspective and conditioning.
