I've been arguing with a girlfriend of mine on the importance of high IQ. She supported her elder sister for refusing to marry her boyfriend who fits 90% of her desires in a man but for the fact that he struggled during his school days. He studied engineering(5 yr programme) for nearly 8 years and managed to graduate with a 2nd class lower. The girl argued that making children with such man may overshadow her high IQ and she may end up with a child who is not bright academically which may be a big hindrance in the child's chance of becoming successful in life. She argues: "what will be her children's chances of going to medical school in a highly competitive society like this".


My question is: Will you pass on a suitor because of this excuse because I think it's frivolous unless am missing something?.



This guy in question took his time again in America and got an MBA although he never worked with any of his degrees and they are suspecting that his GPA after the MBA may be below 3 points and that's why he didn't get a job with it.

i keep saying this----------if academical intelligence is d only intelligence on this earth,then i'D better remain a dunce

sm people think when one is dull academically that means d person is waste

i think that people r gifted in diff regions,there r some people that have not seen d four walls of a uni before but blive me their intelligence beats d imaginations of the "supposed intelligent"

You are somehow in my mind. I may have to show her this opinion.

Your name keep depleting everyday. I read somewhere that it was Jelila kadiri(lol). Guard this new one before you'll run out names.

cos if she has dis IQ she will know dat academical intelligence is not the only intelligence one should have

ask her,if both of her parents went to school,if yes fine,mum did nt complete hers,but my dad did,did it affect any of their kids?no

if she says dat her parents wen to school ask her if her grandparents did ?if no?then ask her again if it affected all their(grandparents) kids

. . . Erhhmmm it's a big deal for me . . .

. . . Erhhmmm it's a big deal for me . .

Why?

I'm attracted to the academically brilliant. It's just like a fetish

I'm attracted to the academically brilliant.

As in he must be a first class material or never? Do you know there are so many factors that can retard somebody in school and not only academic incompetence? . _{Na im be say Pataki no get hope for ya side.}

Will I pass up a woman cus she has an abnormally low IQ??

Hell yeah!!! Nah . . . not for the stupid excuse she used
But I just think sumtimes our discussions might go academical and it's sad to have to explain everything to her

Is academics the only true test of intelligence?

To put it explicitly, someone with a higher IQ than me is more like it. I've never been attracted to dunces, sorry.

No.

Imagine one marrying a robot.

So he must be a geek or nothing for you? geeks can be perverts oh. Imagine a genius like Michael Jackson who never had a formal education, will you pass on him because he doesn't have academic knowledge?

There's a big difference between intelligence and brilliance!!!

Seriously, i know many geniuses in the classroom but weak minded when it comes to applying their knowledge on the streets.
Most 1st class students are dunces. . . . . .I made sure i didn't come out with a FIRST CLASS so i won't be classified as a dunce.
Some people have a high powered retentive memory. . . . .They would replicate whatever they are taught in class and write em down in the EXAMS to make high grades. . . . . .Put them on the streetz and u see a cold puppy without clues.

No.

Imagine one marrying a robot.

Roflmao

I don't know sha, I will be saying no now but you can only make such decisions when it actually comes, I would prefer to marry somebody bright in the academic aspect but it does not mean if a guy comes my way and I really like him, I will totally brush him off due to his lacking in academic intellect

Why the preference? Is it because you want to assure you'll have bright kids assuming you are a genius yourself?.

Ok; warn him to stay off my behind because i'll fart straight in his face.

Seriously, the FIRST CLASS students in ma set were all robots.
They know nuthing apart from their books.
Most of em don't even know what is happening around them??

Is that intelligent??
Robert Price was the best student in ma class and he believes Africa is a country and not a continent!!!
Whereas, when it comes to Physics, Mathematics and Thermodynamics, he can crack it more than anyone else.
The guy was a royal Arrow.

Is your family a normal happy one or are you guys a bunch of freaks in a household? Are you weak minded like Sauron said?

Jeez not necessarily geeks with the sordid hair and eyeglasses. I've known guys who ace their studies and still look hot. They are no where near the stereotypical nerd in terms of hideous fashion and attitude. I love me some brains.

Lol, can you pass intelligence on genetically? lol Nah, that's not the reason why, I have always been attracted to bright people
