Implies intelligence is measure monetarily which, when you put it that way, is obviously wrong.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 187 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Also, this is just plain wrong.

Some women are attracted to intellectual minds.

Some women are attracted to physical strength, some women are attracted to maternal instincts, so on and so forth.

The problem is this question is usually being asked by someone who thinks that responding to every factual statement with an inflammatory counterpoint qualifies as intelligence.

A greentext that's wrong? Highly unlikely.

The weird definition of intelligence they are using (how to succeed in life) does kind of cover that. The definition of what success is, and the millions of ways of achieving it covers just about all variations.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

From what I've observed, intelligence doesn't count for much when it comes to "success in life", whatever that might be.

Kinda bordering a strawman here, but if I said

why are men attracted into the airhead type?

there would be bunch of dudes saying they are into intelligent women, and that it's just hollywood.

Dylan says "Why don't girls like me," sulking. "Hey," "Dylan" says the offscreen voice.Dylan looks over to see a giant amalgamation of women, some of them are falling as it moves. The amalgamation speaks to him. "It's me, all girls. Only you understand that all women share a consciousness, Dylan. Be one with me . Link yourself to the hivemind." Dylan has stopped sulking, as he now only cowers in fear.

(Sidenote props to the artist for drawing all those people one by one)

So success in life means actual intelligence? I disagree with that.

Success ≠ actual intelligence.

Plenty of very successful people who are complete morons.

Women are attracted to success, regardless of actual intelligence.

And of course this is a generalization. Women are not a monolith.

[–] SmoothOperator@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago (6 children)

It's more that intelligence implies success rather than success implies intelligence.

Actual intelligence boosts chances for success, but it is not required for success.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (3 children)

The way the world is going, intelligence is playing less and less of a factor. You're either born into it, or you're a wage slave struggling for life.

What is success? Being surrounded by people you love and trust? Living life without regret? Sitting on hoards and hoards of money? Planting an endangered tree?

[–] NewDark@lemmy.today 7 points 1 month ago

It's just correct enough for the tiny quipy descriptor to get to the real takedown after.

Also this is 4chan, grade on a curve.

Why are dudes like this.

Women are individuals who’s preferences differ from person to person. But forget all that for a second. Women are just not attracted to men who are DUMPY RUDE ASSHOLES. NOBODY IS. These dudes make so many excuses to not work on themselves.

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Dudes are individuals whose personalities differ from person to person.

women are people with choices

they make different choices

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Impossible. If women had choices, then they'd have a diversity of off-spring with a wide spectrum of forms, traits, and behaviors.

We know that can't be the case, because all men are identical and perfectly interchangeable, except for a tiny variance in peak performance which they use to sort themselves from Sigma to Omega for the purpose of obtaining Da Big Sequesy to produce more Sigma clones.

Dude lamenting women not being attracted to intelligence checks out as he use a picture that clearly focuses on a woman's intelligence.

[–] Colonel_Panic_@eviltoast.org 22 points 1 month ago

The intelligence is stored in the boobs.

[–] phx@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (6 children)

I mean, that's a fun take but realistically there are plenty of women who put a lot more stock in looks (just as men do) an immediate financial ability.

That jock who got a job that's physically demanding might be making more out of high school, but the IT nerd who went for they education and got a good tech job was likely on a slower burn path to self-improvement with better pay, possibly improving looks over time (or at least less of a beer belly). At least before AI started killing the tech sector again, so maybe the jocks will be coming out ahead for awhile.

Also, there's also nothing wrong with being a good dude with average intelligence who works hard. Just don't pick an red-hatred idiot. And intelligent nerds who don't learn social skills can absolutely still become nasty incels.

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I wouldn't put too much stock into the jock versus nerd stereotypes.

Life isn't an RPG with stats that come at the cost of other stats. Being bad at sports doesn't make someone more likely to be good at school (if anything, the correlation might run the other way). And charisma, ambition, intelligence, physical appearance, athleticism, work ethic, are all distinct factors that sometimes feedback on each other, and feed into things like wealth, happiness, attractiveness, etc.

"Just don't pick an red-hatred idiot" took me a sec to parse.

What about the women that is into pepe lore or WW2 theory?

I cant decide if there's more or less of them than the ones that's into 4chan incels?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What about the women that is into pepe lore or WW2 theory?

They are irrelevant, because they are both Fake and Gay

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Can confirm: am a woman named Gayle "Gay" Fake who can't get enough cartoon frog facts and FDR/Göring slash fiction.

They don't exist. If women get into pepe lore or WW2 they grow male genitalia. It's not well documented but it happens quite a lot. The body starts producing massive amounts of testosterone and the stress ages and disfigures the women and also effects their memory. Most of the male incels on 4chan are former super models who got exposed to pepe lore or WW2.

[–] justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

most women i know are more attracted to a character or intelligence than anything else. i know a couple more "stereotypical" women as well. like one girl which disagreed a potential boyfriend just because he is driving a small car. and i can see a big correlation with their background/upbringing

[–] nitroemdash@lemmy.wtf 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's usually “how to succeed in life” intelligence, not “realization of abstract k-skeletons as k-skeletons of intersections of convex polyhedra in R^2k−1 in life” intelligence if that doesn't make you money.
