This could be relative .
Being A smart Woman/Man is Great, very Awesome.

However, I'm of the opinion that there's an Atom of truth in this quote .
Even tho it's common with the female Gender,I think it's applicable to both Gender.
..."The smarter a woman is,the more difficult it is to find a right man"
Women/Men who Act 'too' smart tend to Outsmart themselves in the End.
Always Thinking they know too much, and it gets them into Up-playing themselves.
They usually are hard to be corrected by the male/female counterpart.
They find it hard to be corrected by even themselves.
They are very selective, always searching for the 'PERFECT' one and in the course of that,they most of the time lose the 'RIGHT' one .

They mistake Correction for oppression.
It's hard for them to believe in cultural Values.
In religious Values.
All they believe in Is their Own made up standards.

And with these Characteristics they posses, it's hard for them to find love/the right one .

Pray for the 'RIGHT ONE' as opposed to the 'PERFECT ONE'.

Standards and principles however are Supposed to make you a better person, and when it doesn't, it Is then considered as the wrong standard and beliefs.

Love is correcting,
Love is humble,
Love is loyalty,
Love is RIGHT,
Love is meekness,
Love is God,
God is love.

With all that's being said, Go to the Only perfect One(GOD) to seek for the Right One
Let's never stop learning, it's in learning we grow!

Actually, you're wrong.

The smarter you are, the more correctable you are. It's the foolish ones that keep repeating the same thing over and over again without logic to back it up.

The different between smart people and the not so smart ones are that smart people cannot be trapped by dogma. You can't just tell them to do something, or tell them that they are wrong about something. You need to tell them WHY.
others just listen. And keep it in their brains and attack any counter argument, only to go and insult smart ones that they are stubborn and uncorrectable.
Please stop spreading this dangerous stereotypes.

Educated fools and smart dummies do exist!

You can be smart in books but a dummy in the streets.
You can be smart in math but a dummy in science.
You can be smart and not have common sense.

Knowledge is powerful but wrong choices can Bleep the whole plan.

Bottom line is that life and universe is the best teacher.

Most gentle guys don't bother to find out why something is bad as long as its been verified by 2 or 3 people, will u call these ones a dummy ? The smart ones who get theirselves in trouble trying to find out what's bad about something, you now call these set of people smart? Explain berrer oh

MrsChima:


Do you have proof of the random bullsh1t you have said?

Teempakguy:
actually, I do.

We will need some axioms, of course.

1. Smart people are at the top of their classes.
2. Smart people invent things
3. Smart people become professors.
4. Smart people are good at what they do.

From 1, we find that the reason that they are on top of their class is because they learn fast. Hence, they are highly receptive to new information. And throughout years of conflicting information supplied by teachers, they still manage to keep on top. This is because they are highly correctable and eager to learn, but first, they seek the superiority of individual ideas and determine which is correct by analyzing the arguments that they present.

From 2, we find that they gain a deep understanding of what they have been taught. And they design things with can put these thoughts and ideas into useful realities. Now, at this point, they are discouraged. Told that they will never be successful. But they don't back down. Why? Because they have amazing courage? No bloody way. It's because the people advising them against this has no proof that their contraption will not work. The Why is not supplied.

From 3, we find that some smart people become professors. Working of course, on a thesis. A thesis which is to be analyzed by other peers. In the course of this, they analyze other theses. It takes an open-minded mentality to survive at this stage. As an entire life's work may be rendered useless at any point, and a why will be provided. We find that there is no fallout of violence and denial. Once the why is provided, all is well. We also find a highly advanced level of collaboration. Because truth is immediately discerned by analyzing arguments and counter-arguments. The result is final. Unless otherwised falsified with superior logic.

From 4, we find that smart people are good at what they do. This is because they understand the why beneath the structure of these things and can therefore apply them. The reason they know the why is because they wouldn't have accepted the ideas unless they found falsifiable evidence that the idea was actually correct.


If you have any other axioms that are less biased than these, kindly supply them and I will use them to supply proof for you.
Now, kindly supply your own proff your your "non-random and non-bullshit" statement above.

MrsChima:


You have written this epistles with NO TANGIBLE proof?

Email me when you do.

Teempakguy:
I actually expected you to insult me anyway. I'm surprised though that you were this lenient. I was expecting something along the lines of "MANBISH!"

Anyway, you claim my proof is intangible but cannot counter it. Noted. Let me take another approach.
What am I being asked to proof?

"That smarter people are more correctable."

Great. Now, unless you were talking about something else, we are going to stick with that.
Consider the Nigerian population versus the south Korean population. We all know the south Koreans are highly intelligent. Having the second highest IQ in the world per country. Nigeria on the other hand, is rather dumb. Having one of the very lowest IQs in the world per country.

Now, if you called an average Korean to stop throwing paper on the ground, but instead to throw it in the can, and you explained why to him, he would most likely think about it and follow such advice. We know this is the case because obviously their cities are clean.
If the same experiment is repeated on a Nigerian, without asking for reason, he would obey when you were there, but the moment you left, life resumes as usual. We know this is the case because obviously our cities are dirty.

In both countries, citizens are advised to keep their environments clean. One does that, land it so happens to be the second smartest country in the world. The other doesn't. And it miraculously happens to be one of the dumbest. Is this a coincidence?

I know you will want to argue with me that nigeria is not dumb and all . . . that I'm lying, but you don't have proof that I'm lying, do you? You just "feel" that it isn't true. And so, you disregard it. That, my lady, is the exact proof you're looking for. The dumber you are, the harder it is to accept cold facts in front of you. The easier it is for you two apply "selective belief."


And 90% of every Nigerian nairalander that quotes this post will continue too reinforce the proof by insulting the people that placed Nigeria on the dumbest chart. By claiming that it is not true. By blinding declaring, "proud naija! We don't care what they think of us."
And thereby proofing them, and I right.

So, checkmate.

#wollop nigger... wollop

Ok... So you had to drag Nigerians generally into this comparison?

I had to confirm what you said about Nigerians having the lowest IQ on the average. You know how I conducted my "research"? Your guess is correct, Google. Now I found a site that ranked us 23rd(av. IQ 84) which is no where near the bottom and then, I found another site that puts us in the bottom 10 with average IQ of 67.

So, who should I believe? Who should I take seriously? Why should I take any of them seriously? How did they come to such conclusion? What test was carried out and on who? Do you really think some test is enough to tell how intelligent or smart people are? Which brings me to my last question are you sure you thought about all these before jumping around saying who is dumb and who isn't?

Now, correct me if I'm wrong but you said smart people are open to correction but they don't swallow people's opinion without answering the question "WHY?" so, is it safe to say you are not smart? or did you do any research yourself? If yes, can I see it

one more thing, there's a rule and then there are exceptions, do you consider yourself an exception or as dumb as the rest of us?

Teempakguy:
Na wa.

Where is every one?

hahn:


I thought, personally, that you had closed the thread with your first comment.

I'm not ready to "argue" as you're doing with those commenters, I'd rather "discuss". I don't like involving myself in insultive threads. I'd advice you leave here.

Besides, you already said it all. Most people have comprehension problems fam, there's nothing you can do about that
