This question is a companion to the previous post. It’s from Anonymous Girl:
I am thinking about dumbing myself down to get guys to like me; can you give me some advice? I can’t talk to anyone at home because they will just think I’m stupid.
Some questions for you, Anonymous Girl:
i) If they think you’re stupid, there’s no need to dumb down, eh?
ii) Is the guy you want to be with somebody who only likes dumb people?
iii) If so, why do you want to be with him?
iv) Is it really the case that men prefer dumb women, anyway? If I had dumbed down, my paramours would have been contending with someone annoying AND stupid! They wanted me for my brains, because I could help them with the difficult crossword.
Readers, if you can answer any of my or Anonymous Girl’s questions, please do so in the comments. Assuming you’re bright enough to find them.

Be more forward. Intelligent people (men in romantic situations especially) are often indecisive and nervous, go after the ones who you like dont wait for them to go after you. Take this from an intelligent indecisive man.
to quote Bertrand Russell – “The fundamental cause of trouble in the world today is that the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.”
I will also add i have real problems finding intelligent women. They all seem to be in relationships, or snapped up asap when they arent and I can only find people who bore and frustrate me after a while.

Why would you want to be someone you are not? Be who you are and don’t be apologetic about it.
I was single for 2 years before i met my current boyfriend. We have shared interests in gaming, documentaries, physics, biology and startrek. I wouldn’t have nearly as much of a fulfilling relationship if I grabbed a man by acting dumb. What would you have to talk about?! AND I LIKE TO TALK!
and if you need to dumb down to get guys to like you, then they are idiots and you don’t want to be wasting your time with idiots.

Don’t dumb down! If you dumb down, that means you’ll be going out with idiots. And the problem with idiots is that they’re idiots. They’ll do stupid things like drop their pen in a bin of medical sharps and just scramble around blind to find it, come up with entirely unworkable political ideas, or keep the ketchup in the fridge.
Instead, wait around for a not-dumb guy to go out with. Even if it takes longer, you won’t have to put up with half as much shit.
