Could you date a person that's slightly slow or not smart?

First of all, u not making best use of analogies. I'm talking about people skills and that's not gender specific. U brought up example of a female martial artist/wrestler and how she may tap out some men but if a man with the normal strength of a man works out...he can body her. That doesn't have anything to do with social skills.

Good social skills come from ur natural personality along with social conditioning and environment. This doesn't have anything to do with being a male or female. There are extroverted males and females as well as males and females who are introverted or in between (ambiverts). There are some women out here who have excellent interpersonal skills along with confidence but their femininity isn't in question. U trying to make social skills a man's trait when it isn't only applicable to males and folks with high testosterone.

There are women out here who are funny, creative and interesting. Those characteristics aren't gender specific either. I could understand if u meant a more dominant aggressive persona being tied to masculinity but being social, funny, interesting, creative and gregarious??? U reaching far with this one bruh.

Both male and female energies are necessary and generally aren't the same but social skills, being funny, creative and interesting doesn't correspond to a person's gender. For example, there are queens of comedy just like there are kings of comedy. All the males and females are funny in their own ways...but we humans and have preferences so we may favor one comedian over another...but they all are entertaining.

Female comedian's exist but there is no female equivalent to Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Patrice O'Neal, Chris Rock, George Carlin, Jerry Seinfeld, or any other male comedian. In general, if I want to see good comedy I'm seeing a male perform. There are talented women singers and performers, there is no female equivalent to Miles Davis, James Brown, Michael Jackson, or Prince.

I'm not just talking about sales, I'm talking about people who change the game. People who have swagger, who make trends, who are emulated by everyone male and female.

That is the larger point, but to bring it back...

There are some dope ass girls out there, but they are most likely a reflection of the men they've been around (brothers, fathers, friends) and they are pretty rare.

Finding a woman who has swagger, can bounce a conversation, has good timing, is humorous, understands context, is frivolous, and so on is really difficult. That's why they like to be around us so much. Boys grow up learning all of these skills (unless they are outcasts, and even then), girls do not...they do not need to in order for men to get with them.

Anyone who has actually been in a relationship understands how girls always emulate and jack your swagger. They adopt your lingo, your mannerism, your likes and dislikes. Hell, that's one of the things we like most about 'em (how much they like us).

I don't understand how this is even a conversation.

You reaching. I think you mean common sense not social skills.

Women are naturally better communicators unless they are terribly shy.

Regarding Communication:

1. My girl picks up on subtleties in body language and conversation, but I'm a better assessor of danger and a better assessor of bullshyt. She is more likely to fall for a sob story and be emotionally swayed by tone.

2. When is the last time you had a truly interesting conversation with a girl, including your girl? Even better, when is the last time she led the conversation?

3. If your guy friends acted the same way your girl (or girls in general) acts, would you still have them around as friends?

I don't get with women based on how smart they may be. I believe in traditional values and that's not where she needs to be strong suited.

At first i thought why not and then I thought about it and the answer is no.
Not gonna lie, I would enjoy it at first. Only because it is a low key ego boost to always be the smartest person in the room. However, that shyt will get old FAST. Like, nothing is more of a turn off than an inarticulate man. I could imagine the relationship will be really fukking boring considering I am carrying every conversation. I don`t like to hear myself all the time lmao.

To be honest, my romantic dealings with women have ALWAYS seen me as the far more intelligent between us. I basically have to throw a lot of the things I would like to wax poetic about
right out of the window, and become a charismatic 1-liner type to keep things moving.

It would be so dope to have a longer conversation about semiconductors moving from silicon to alternative means when we hit the proverbial technology wall, expressing the beauty
in architecture based on how the "lines" lead the eye (something artists and photographers usually recognize), the cosmos, philosophy, physics and biology, etc.

Then again I am a genius, and I find most conversations to be increasingly ho-hum, and its absolutely true that the most attractive conversations usually comes from the least attractive women:mjcry:

Unless I get off my ass and try my hand at Mensa or something, I have had to make peace with "dumbing down" in order to fulfill my sexual desires in spite of the intellectual ones.

no only because I would have a hard time keeping a decent conversation with her and get frustrated

I like intelligent worldly men. Don't think i've ever dated a dumb man...but I have unfortunately wasted time on a man that told me I wasn't the sharpest knife in the box...after I disagreed with him about sex being one of the main needs. I can have my moments but I enjoy communicating and learning new things and also teaching others what I've learned. Guess what, he sucked crap at math or anything that required logical reasoning. Sometimes, people like to project their insecurities onto others.
