I was just wondering- What exactly are the school smart girls looking for?

I mean like the girls who do Engineering and Medical stuff.

Of course, doing good in school doesn't make you smart(Contradicting what everyone else thinks) but it does show that you have dedication. I hate when people think doing good in school=high intelligence because the most intelligent person I know doesn't ever go to class.

What exactly are all these smart girls looking for in a guy?

I would expect that many of the girls on wrongplanet are the smart type, I know the smart girls are looking for something.....I'm just not sure what.

I do believe that would depend on the girl in question, Brian. Might I suggest that, as a general rule, they will be looking for someone who is honest, decent, caring, not terribly insecure, who has a good sense of humor, and who has something to share with them?

Good luck! (And I agree - you may find some very intelligent people in schools, but you'll find them outside of school as well.)

I agree with what Nan said, and have an additional comment, as someone who married a "school smart girl."

She was looking for a couple of things, in addition to the ones Nan listed. One was a guy who was at least as bright as she is - she finds brains to be extremely attractive, and would have a hard time respecting someone whose mind was not on a par with her own. The other was a guy who was mature enough to know what he wanted, and appreciate it when he had it. She felt that most guys in her age group wanted to screw around, and found that a highly undesirable trait.

But that's just one person. YMMV.

QFT... wish it didn't take till I was in College to not let that get to me. Spent bloody ages stressing and getting paranoid over people being all like the academic people being the intelligent ones and stuff. :roll: I think to an extent I believed it... in those days... nowadays meh such small stuff is but a flicker of annoyance. :lol:

Do they just go for looks? Because that really wouldn't hurt me that much I guess.

Most people only go for looks from what I have observed....

I think that they're looking for a man who is actually there for them and supporting them. I also think that they look for a good personality. Looks don't always have to count. Loyalty is a really good trait to have for a relationship. It's also best to start slow, but being there for support might possibly win you some brownie points with a school-smart girl. Just beware that major turn-offs can include arrogance or rude behavior.

Maybe. Acting all sorts of pretentious
(though you do need a little something
to back it up) seems to work for some.

Nothing I'd want, but whatever.

How did we get onto having to PRETEND to be smart?

If you're into smart girls, obviously you're smart, and you're probably smart about something other than girls. So talk about that, and then you won't have to pretend.




On second thought, if what you're smart about is the serial numbers of Star Wars action figures, or how to lure girls into a deep pit in your basement where they put on lotion before being carved up for a suit, you should fake being smart about something else.

Maybe learn something just for the purpose of meeting smart girls?

Where do you get this? He could well
be into certain superficial elements
which he associates with intelligence,
after all.

Agreed. I do not know what these superficial elements are, but I have been approached by guys of average or below average IQ before. I'm never interested. Having a good heart isn't enough to excite me, for one. Secondly, I believe that I have to have a large amount of genuine respect for my mate's intellect, and that would not be possible with someone who was either dumber or more arrogant than I am.
