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..

^i have substance tongue blush big grin hahaha and lots of modesty big grin

nah totally agree with what you are saying entice, its sad really... maybe there is a side to these girls that only your guys friends see when they are alone... if not, well then you can only hope that your friends grow up a little and realise looks aren't everything...

i think there is also a big problem with shallowness in that a lot of guys also want a "good girl"... disregarding decent chicks as suitable girlfriends, simply cause they like to go out clubbing etc...

too far off track...???

I dont think they are looking to get married just yet so if they can bang a glamour they do.

Shallow and stoopid.... ? Yes.

Or maybe some people find dumb and ditsy to be attractive and 'cute' qualities?

It isn't about finding the 'perfect' person, the 'perfect' looks etc. It's all about seeing an imperfect person 'perfectly' ; And this more or less derives from their inner beauty.

We shouldn't condense what we like physically onto a shopping list.. It's amazing how I can be attracted to someone, without them being idealistically attractive, and thinking someone is attractive, without actually being 'attracted' to them.

Undress me with your words, any day...

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.

i agree Madam.....
flaws and imperfections is a person is what makes them perfect to you......

you can undress me with your words any day.....
you possess the best vocab here..........

and Mr.D nick lachey is a moron....
moron goes for moron

and new black ditzy and dumb can be cute, I am one to be a little silly and lost at times, but thats not my persona at all times....

im talking girls who are just thick and stupid and boring always and maybe aj_13 is right.
they could be putting this facade on and they are different behind closed doors but i doubt it......

oh Matza..

you will find the perfect package one day...

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.

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..

oo what a marvellous topic!!

I am sick of guys that seem intreging within the first meet or two, and turning out to be bums that have no motivation and lie lie lie!! bang head

Then you meet a great guy, he dosnt want anything usually because some bimbo has played him or left him heart broken.. lol

A wise man once told me to never lower my standards for guys and that girls do have the power..

i think mr Sav-Licka could say some amazing things about this!!

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.

personally Mr.D,

i would want a guy that adores evey aspect of me and my persona
so therefore that would make me feel good,

but it would bore me If he had no sense of direction
and could not stimulate me mentally...

Dont get me wrong I have been in the past with good looking nice guys but with no intelligence or substance and they lost out when they didnt want to get to know my personality anyway as they probably didnt see it worthwhile, and this disheartens me......

and at the end of the day Mr.D not everyone needs an intelligent partner and is satisfied by feelign loved and appreciated...

btu this topic is for people who do have that need and deserve it and lower themselves by going for rubbish.......

Valynt...

play your cards right and the advancement will come soon

OK well, that changes things a bit.

When a relationship starts, and everyone around you already knows the outcome, it's bad news.
