It was horrible. I am not even talking about book smarts, he didn't have much commen sense, but he was a sweet guy. I just couldn't with him. He didn't even know what spermicide was.
Oh my....
erplexed
Yea....see, a guy doesn't have to have "book smarts", but I like a guy who's at least up on SOME current events, or even just pop culture. I can't have a guy who doesn't know what certain things/places/words are if we both grew up in the same country.....
Not only that, but I think it makes me not able to respect a man who is that way. You kind of wonder if a guy is going to be a good leader (and maybe even provider) if he's dumb/lacks common sense. I just can't....
I want something serious, and I don't think I could last long with a guy that was not at least somewhat up on his intellectual game. I don't need a guy with an IQ of 155 or whatever, just a guy who doesn't make me give him the side-eye anytime he opens his mouth lol.
I once dated this one guy who just sort of turned me off after a while because of his lack of being "in the know" on what I considered simple things. Not only was his personality DRY and boring as all get out, but he seemed not to know a few things... For example, he asked me where I was from, and I told him that although I was born in the US, my dad is Cameroonian and my mom is AA. He was like: "Oh Cameroonian eh?? Where is that....South America???" I was like.....

Now, granted, not everyone is up on Geography and all, and I don't expect a man to be able to point to the country of Cameroon on the world map, but I would HOPE that he would have known that Cameroon is a country in the Continent of
AFRICA.
erplexed When I told him that it was actually a country in Africa, he sort of laughed and said... "Africa huh? What do they eat over there....Zebra???"
Granted, in SOME countries in Africa I'm sure they probably DO eat Zebra, but come on!! I don't know any of my family members over there that eat zebra...
Idk, he just sounded so uncultured.
PLUS he was boring.
I MIGHT be able to deal with you and have a little "fun" for a little while if you're funny and have an engaging personality even though you're a little dense. But if you are dumb AND boring?? BYE....
I think only men can handle "dumb" women lol...
I don't think men put as much stock into how "smart" women are as much as women put it on men. hahah!
