Girl at work forwarded this blog link to all the guys on our team...guess she's trying to tell us something, or she just had a recent bad breakup. Don't know which.

Kinda a sad society to live in where we're talking about what's wrong with the SMART people

And I don't mean to say intelligent guys should be perfect bastions of sex raking in the ladies, because they ain't, but honestly?

Was there no other group that more urgently needed a top 10 list of reasons they suck made?

These lists always seem like they're written by dumb people who are happy to be getting an advantage over them smart folk for once, or at best by people annoyed with smart people complaining about lack of romantic appreciation.

So could we PLEASE solve world hunger or something?

as for the list, i know a couple guys who fall into these lines, but the list is flawwed, as most lists usually are

I'm surprised this wasn't posted in a Myspace Bulletin

 

[Silk Spectre]

It's because too many women want the bad boy types. I do agree with some of the things on this list. A lot of very intelligent people have terrible social skills.

 

[PyroChamber]

This reminds me of what a co-worker told me. She said that she didn't like to date guys that use smart guys that use "big words" and I told her "you ever think that it's not that they use big words but that you're just stupid?".

But yeah, it sucks when being smart is considered by some to be a turn off.

Well put.

Although sadly I think some people on here could probably benefit from reading that list

The SCREAMING ALL-CAPS made me think that was what it was when I was reading it.

 

[The Riddler]

REASON #6: THEY FOCUS ON LOGIC INSTEAD OF EMOTION.

that is something i can agree with. a lot of people, not only "smart" people, struggle with emotions because they aren't always logical.

REASON #8: THEY THINK THAT DOING "NICE" THINGS IS
THE "SMART WAY"

This is especially true. Being nice is ok, being a ****ing pushover who will do everything and anything a girl asks you to do is not ok. There is a difference.

 

[Majic Walrus]

I don't understand number 8. Why is doing "nice" things bad? It's been my experience (okay, not much albeit) that girls like nice things. The only place that it's failed me is when women start to expect constant "nice" things making them no longer "nice" things and making them the norm. Then it becomes impossible for us to do "nice" things without doing "spectacular" things.

Interesting.
(In that the majority of the complaints are subjective -> as in the eyes of the offended.)
Meh,.. "Smart" folk can't catch a break. I'm so glad this is a light topic where the flock are NOT looking down too hard on the Rams, Sheepdogs and the shepherd.

Notice how "Reasons" become "Mistakes".

 

[kainedamo]

Statistically speaking its hard to find a girl.

About everything? That's just dumb.

 

[November Rain]

Intelligent guys are the ones who get their partners to do something without even realising it while pretending to be less intelligent.

this is simply a bash at people with a lack of life experience.

Because too many smart guys become pushovers. You know, they become that one guy at the bar who is buying drinks for some girl, just to see her go off with some other dude.

********.

Sad.

That the intelligent must consciously manipulate others to be accepted because the "normal" people won't accept them otherwise.

[Darthphere]

It gets to the point where opening a door for a girl is weird.
