How would you define yourself emtionally speaking?

Intelligent or stupid? - This question is not silly because it has been proved that emotional intelligence does exist and has become a case of study in Psychology. Emotionally retarded people are often psychos!

Because typically intelligent ppl (esp. Those who are successful) have a keen eye for detail and are competitive by nature. Both qualities are enough to attract the opposite sex however they can also ruin a relationship. Such folks tend to have an ego and are less willing to compromise.

Re: Why Do Very Smart (intellectual) People Suck In Romance? by tutuwater(m): 4:15pm On Dec 14, 2011
It is true though.
i believe the people in that group tends to over analyze issues to the extent that they couldn't follow their feelings any more.
example 1. the smart guy sees a 9/10 girls and analyze that since she is this fly she cant be single, so he is not making a move.
example 2. the smart guy views being vulnerable as a bad thing overlooking the fact that to be in an emotional state you have to let go of your guard. thus he is unable to vividly express himself.

Imagine dating that Nigerian guy that blows a lot of grammar. Will deffo do my head in.

They would rather carry on studying at night instead of making love.

These are just assumptions sha. I've not dated any one that "extra", but I can imagine.

Perhaps, you assume too much. What's the genesis of your assertion.
Re: Why Do Very Smart (intellectual) People Suck In Romance? by Andrew3(m): 4:35pm On Dec 14, 2011
BEcause they dont take the relationship as their priority but rather what makes them who they are.

Rather interesting post. But the poster provides no evidence in support of her claim. I am less willing to believe this. . .
True though, intelligent people may suck at making great relationships, but only with people who are not exactly their type. With their type, I think they record better success.
And emotional vegetables? that's rather far-fetched! damn!

Sorry for the hyperbole. I was intrigued by the term when I heard it on a TV series!

Mainly because they misplace their priories and maybe absence of time management,in the sense that they are too
focused on their perspective fields to the extent that they neglect the social aspect of their life.For example a Medical Doctor
who is always working 24/7,no time to go out on dates,makes friends,have drinks with friends or even take their respective
partners out on holidays and stuffs. They are so focused that they become emotionally dead. ''All work and no play'' per say.
They can become emotionally awake in aspect of romance,if only they can balance their jobs with their activities of daily living.

Am yet to understand ur question, is it suck in bed or romance?
Re: Why Do Very Smart (intellectual) People Suck In Romance? by Nobody: 6:06pm On Dec 14, 2011
Poster hasn't made a lot clear in her argument. I think she's defaulting to the popular notion that nerds suck at relationships. In alluding to this, she leaves out the possiblity that some nerds may indeed suck at sustaining a relationship, but may have no difficulty giving it to a woman in bed. So, is it in relating with the opposite sex now, i.e. making the relationship worthwhile, or is it simply in bed? undecided
