i get so perplexed when i see an intelligent male, with a fantastic warm personality and amazing humour lower themselves when they go out with someone who is low in the stakes of even possessing a brain...
yes the partner they choose may be good looking but are people that shallow that they would choose someone only asthetically pleasing and lose out on getting to knwo someone who presents the full package.....
I have been so disappointed by males friends who have started realtionships with girls who are good looking but present them selves as the most moronic, superficial and boring creatures ever, and to be honest after getting to know their personality their looks go down the drain anyway.....
this topic also applies for fabulous girls who end up with a terrible guy companion...
thoughts people?

Some guys like the simple girl who wont challenge their own intelligence....
Look at Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey.... Now you can't tell me he is with her for her intelligence....

thats the case with most relationships these days entice... which is sad...
they'll stay together, be the glamour couple...get married...divorce in a few years and then..repeat, coz thats all they know...
hence why im still single....
too many show ponies around that lack any sort of substance worth pursuing..

Why do you consider it a "lowering" of standards? Isn't the person a fool and not the person you thought they are when they go into this relationship? So in actual fact, they're not "lowering" any of their own standards, you're just lowering your respect for that individual - two entirely different bearings.

So Entice your saying that Nick Lachey is a moron, so is it Jessica who has lowered her standards then.....
I think you just have to accept that not everyone needs intellectual stimulation in a relationship to be satisfied.

LOL at bb.......
and Dfunked yes these people are lowering themselves by being with their moronic counterpart,
that is why i see it as so sad,
because they are such great people!

mr D, exactly not eveyone needs intellectual stimulation,
but when a person IS intelligent and as a whole is a fantastic person.
why would they persue somethign that is the oppisite of them?

Idiot A loves genius B. Now that's not a lowering of standards IMO. If it was me, I would have to lower my standards, yes, but then again there is nobody else out there just quite like me, or you, or the next ..
I'm not trying to say your argument isn't valid, I just think these scenario's are so commonplace that I just ignore it when genius B decides to go out with idiot A.
I could name about 5 or so current relationships off the top of my head where I thought I saw a mismatch of intellectual proportions, and many more past relationships..
Just goes to show the strength of your viewpoint..

Even if you are intelligent, the fact remains you may not need an intelligent partner…. You may be the type of person that works in a career that is so mentally demanding, and at the end of the day all you want to do is go home, to your gorgeous partner……
Entice, you are obviously an intelligent girl to suggest such a topic… so are you implying that if you found a simple guy, who’s age was higher than his IQ, but he made you feel amazing, and was adorable in so many way, you simply wouldn’t go out with him because of his intelligence or lack or it….
What a load of sh**it…… I tell you if a girl was absolutely gorgeous, and she made me feel good, who cares how smart she is…..

Dfunked I see your view and agree but its not just intelligence that is the issue......
i have numerous freinds who are in similer relationships
but im argueing people who are intelligent, have extremely good morals and ethics and are in general a GOOD person...
going for girls who just have a bad vibe all over them......
selfish, rude, stupid, boring, greedy amongst other things......

OK now bad vibe, and rudeness and all the above is a different story.... Totally agree with you on that....
Hate girls who carry attitiude, and it does often make you wonder what their partner see in them.....
But that doesn't necessarily coincide with intelligence.

OK well, that changes things a bit.
When a relationship starts, and everyone around you already knows the outcome, it's bad news.
