Well, the easiest conclusion to come to is that it's about your own ego. A stupid person might be impressed by all the things you know that they don't, and which smart people will be way past caring about. Sometimes, less intelligent people around you make you feel smarter, and so better about yourself?

Of course, the easiest conclusion is not necessarily the right one. First thing I can think of that makes sense, though.

To me, though, this would get rather boring rather quickly.

I never understood the Keanu Reaves thing. He seems dumber than a rock and I just can't think he's atrractive.

Stupid is a major turn-off, but, sometimes, my groin disagrees.

that's my point... "your minds telling you no, but your body... your body's telling you yessssssss-ah! You don't see nothing wrong with a little bump-n-grind..."

The question is why?

intelligence is the number one thing that attracts me to a person. so, i don't understand the whole dumb=sexy thing. at all.

(Reply to this) (Thread)

but is lack of intelligence a deal breaker? If a guy is stupid, but cute and sweet and whatnot and perfect in every other way, do you still pass him up? What about for non relationships? Is Fabio "doable" despite his apparent total lack of intelligence, personality or any substance whatsoever other than his abs?

To quote my good friend avphibes, " I'd never let a little dumb get in the way of a lot of hot."

What it comes down to is what you are looking for. If you want the relationship to last about 45 mintues and be mostly horizontal, then how inteligent they are doesn't play into it. If you are looking to get to know someone, then dumb as a stick ain't gunna cut it.

Just cuz someone is brutally stupid doesn't mean they don't take a nice photo.

So you're saying, stupidity isn't attractive, but for a one-night-stand, its not a deal breaker, either? See, I dunno... as colored as my past is, I haven't ever had a pure sexual only 45 minute, in and out and never see them again experience, or maybe I'd feel different. Even one-night-stands tend to last at least a few hours. And the sex is only a part of that, generally you have to spend some time interacting both before and after, and there needs to be a certain amount of intelligence to not get on my nerves during that time.

I personally do not think that men are attractive if they're dumb. It could be a turn off, but on the other hand, I don't think I'd ever date someone much smarter than me. (And NO I'm not saying my bf is dumb.) Any very very smart guy i know always feels the need to correct everyone. Smart people like that are just annoying.

I can see why guys would be attracted to dumb girls though. I guess dumb girls are cute - to a point.

I don't know, I think that any really smart person would realize they're being annoying when they correct people and wouldn't do it to that point.

I think the perceived attractiveness of someone changes depending on their intelligence, at least for me. If they're interesting, you can look past imperfections, even redefine them as cute. If they come across as a total dumbass when you talk to them, you start to notice anything that's wrong with them physically, as well as intellectually.

At least, that's how it works for me.

(On the subject of R.Kelly, though, I find it a mystery why people think his songs are sexy. That kitchen song? So, so unsexy. He's got a good voice and all, but the lyrics -- ugh.)

(Reply to this) (Thread)

heh, you think the kitchen song is unsexy, wait til you here the new joint. If I didn't know better, I'd totally think it was an SNL skit that was going on 2 minutes too long. Its totally ridiculous. The only thing that makes it funny is that it isn't supposed to be a joke. He's seriously trying to write a song there.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Dumb is definitely a turn-off for me. Even extremely good-looking dumb guys just don't do anything for me. I can be attracted to them initially, but if I find I can't have an intelligent conversation with someone, the most aesthetically pleasing appearance possible doesn't mean squat.

Eye candy really isn't much more than eye candy to me, I guess.

And, quite frankly, I never really thought Fabio was even that good-looking.

(Reply to this) (Thread)

Hmmm, so how dumb is too dumb? If these things can even be quantified?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

... ignorance can be excused; there is no excuse for stupidity. R. Kelly must be the most stupid "artist" out there; proven by this very song. I intend to do a survey of girls aged 12 - 16 (the "B" Girls), I'll let you know their opinions. I'll be very disappointed if they find the R. Kelly of this song the least bit desirable.

(Reply to this) (Thread)

Survey completed... 5 females. 5 questions: 1. Have you heard the song? 2. Did you like the song? 3. Do you like R. Kelly? 4. Hot or Not?

Female age 12: 1) Yep 2) No opinion 3) Don't really listen to him 4) Don't even know what he looks like
Female age 14: 1) Yes 2) Like it 3) Like him, but don't know why 4) He's ok, I guess
Female age 16: 1) Yes 2) Like it 3) Like his music 4) NO he's not Hot!
Female age 30-40: 1) Yes 2) Song is a trip - strange story to make a song about 3) Used to like him, but lost respect 4) NOT
Female age 30-40: 1) Yes 2) Hate it, must be really desparate for song ideas 3) Like some of his music, some not so much 4) Definitely Not

Thankfully none of them thought he was Hot; I'll leave any other interpretations to you.

(Reply to this) (Thread)

why not? Sometimes I guess you just get bored. You need to pick up a hobby. Maybe something that reminds you of the old days. I feel nostalgic I might read some old stuff I wrote or watch an old movie. DMX feels nostalgic, he boosts a Lexus. He probably accepts that he'll get caught, do a little time, and buy his way out. What's the worst that can happen to him?
