Hahaha!

Are there really dumb personalities ? Or just people with whom you don't have shared interests.

It's funny how we Nigerians tend to reduce intelligence to being able to "hold conversations on International politics/economics".

What if that is not my Kettle of fish? I become dumb?
What if my interests are Deep sea exploration or Big data analytics or even recent developments in cancer research ? Can you also have meaningful conversations on those?

Some see International politics/economics as pretentious conjectures, where everyone is an expert — while the subject discussed is completely outside the control of the discussants.

Ego may be what's at play sometimes.
It forces some of us to indulge in interests we don't really care about deeply.

It always seems nice being able to make "contributions" to public discussions on int'l politics but it shouldn't mean those who can't/don't are dumb.

Intelligence is not as effective as people imagine though. I would always prefer resourcefulness.


God help us.

You just typed my thoughts.

I don't even understand their unrealistic yardstick for measuring intelligence.

If many of them are intelligent as they claim to be, then they should understand the facts in this comment.

Thumbs up man.

God fearing. A man on fire for God.

Comfortable (who stinking rich epp? grin) I have a well paying job, Mr Right must have one too.

Intelligent. No compromise on that one. God help you your kids take after your less than intelligent partner. You will spend all your money on private tutors.

Must be a tiger in za oza room. The size of his jabulani didn't seem so important anymore, as long as it worked well and could make me purrrrr like a satisfied pussy...cat grin

One who complemented me in every way amd would take me as his lover, companion and best friend.

That definitely made more sense than big dicked, muscular fellows who would probably end up losing all those toned muscles, replacing them with Uber flabs, and then become unattractive to me in middle age.

It is always good to have standards.

But can you attract your standard?

Will the man with the standards you desire find you interesting enough to date? That's the puzzle that reality throws at selective ladies.

A lady can only have a man she can attract; a man can only have a lady she can afford.

You're funny.
The way you guys reason sef... God is great indeed.

So because he didn't know of or should I say his side of interest isn't international politics now he's dumb?

Not all guys are interested in that stuff.
Moreover a guy, like me will just develop interest in it just to get along with you well.

How do you guys even measure intelligence because this you just typed up there isn't showing much of it.



Walahi, that babe no smart at all.

Hahahahaha @ the three musketeers.

First, I knew myself which led me to knowing what I did not want in a man (in summary, the textbook Nigerian man) tongue

I was also not interested in a guy's pockets (I value experience over possessions) and was (am still) big on love, ethical values, sound mind, thoughtfulness, teachability, presentation, self respect (nothing disgusts me like a guy who is friends with all the girls to the point of hitting his head, insulting him etc.), healthy self esteem, mental stability and grounded.

I was never (still not) a fan of religious men. I could not stand the spirikoko boys in school. (There is a difference between religious and born again). Same with rigid guys.

I wanted an expressive man, one who is passionate about me enough to express his feelings. Maybe that's why I like football.

Interestingly, I read a lot of romance novels yo help me balance my rigid or stiff side and not for the godlike men who were looking for women to subdue and tame.

I met my husband at 17 so I got the above.

If I was just searching today in addition to the above:

1. Financial intelligence
2. Family background and mental state of mind
3. Ethical values, respect and sincerity
4. Unity of purpose etc.
you met your husband at 17 meaning he was quite young too. So am guessing he wasn't any experience as of the time you met him. You are just lucky in a nutshell.

Sapiosexuality is not a myth. There's something very sexy about a man who can hold his own in a conversation without boring you to tears. I once dated one very unintelligent fellow some years back before fleeing. When I talked about international politics he would stare at me blankly, forcing me to stutter to a stop. I can almost swear a couple of brain cells atrophied during my brief dalliance with the young man.

That was when I knew I couldn't compromise on the quality of grey matter. Very handsome fellow but dumb as fvck. What was i thinking??! embarassed
Doesn't mean the guy is dumb jor, since you are so intelligent come n talk with me about electrical engineering or about computer programming, you probably wouldn't be able to hold an intelligent conversation with me on those field i mentioned above. Does that make you dumb? Obviously not.
The fact that one cannot hold a conversation on politics with you doesn't mean the person is dumb.
You can't measure a fish intelligence by its ability to claim a tree.
