i guess it is WHAT makes the guy think he is intellegent, that is the point. i mean if he thinks he is clever, cs he knows alot about football...then yeah its swich off and boring time....lol!
Maybe what you think is insightful and deep in reality is just pretentious and abnormal in a 'social retard' sort of way. Back up your shit man, what were you talking about? Cause just saying "Insert deep philosophy stuff here" makes you look like some ignorant pothead who works at a fluffed up record store selling "Question Authority" buttons all day and quoting Bill Mauer lines verbatim. So let us in on your philosophy man. Back that shit up. In the spirit of Fraiser Crain; I'm listening. :coffee:
Well I started talking about artificial intelligence and if she thought it was possible. Then posed a load of questions like "If artificial intelligence can be created, then it could possibly mean human beings are devoid of the "spirit" and are biological machines. This was a group discussion, but afterwards her interest in me was completely gone and I was like DAMN! I should've shut the fuck up and kept the shit in my mind in my mind xD
No. An intelligent person would know with whom he's speaking and adjust accordingly. If someone doesn't dig what you're saying--move on.
Too intelligent? No. Too intellectual? Possibly. Intellectualism is a set of interests and a way of looking at things. If a guy goes off on stuff that I have no interest in, it reduces my interest in him. Like Nightwish said, if a guy went on about sports, my eyes would glaze over. Perhaps your topic was something she had no interest in. Or perhaps your manner of discourse was a turn off. Sorry you've gotten such a negative response. Though your own response to that has been pretty immature. It does seem that the manner you presented your question comes across as a bit on the pretentious side. That itself can also be a turn off. In the end, if a girl isn't into you for whatever reason, move on. But if this is a problem you get a lot, it might be worth looking at your manner of presenting yourself. Intelligence itself isn't going to be a problem with too many women, but certain manners of presenting your intellect definitely are. Being intelligent alone isn't going to be an overall positive either for many(though it is for smart girls). It's more vital to be clever in most circumstances. Happily, cleverness is something one can learn.
Nietzsche...he had a mental breakdown because of his own intelligence. He's in the top 5 of smartest people of all time. Imo
