    Nobody is attracted to intelligence. Don’t say you are because you aren’t. You’re attracted to the body. And whoever you’re with is attracted to your body. That’s romantic love. If you’re upset that people don’t love you for your brain, you suffer from body dysmorphia.

        Oh man, I am so sorry I told everyone here that they’re physically attractive. Okay. You win. I’m insane. You’re right. You’re all ugly monsters who will never find love.

          You’re not even trying to understand why everyone disagrees with you. In fact, you’re refusing to even acknowledge that you could be mistaken in your premise that people aren’t attracted to intelligence, and instead lash out.
          That is why you need therapy.

            That’s fine. They’re not even trying to understand what I was saying.

            In fact, you’re refusing to even acknowledge that you could be mistaken in your premise that people aren’t attracted to intelligence, and instead lash out. That is why you need therapy.

            Are you being serious? Or just attacking me like the other person? Because I’m pretty sure if I go to a therapist and I show them these exchanges, they’re not going to say that I’m the one who needs therapy.

              No, they will.

              You unilaterally claimed that nobody is attracted to intelligence, that everyone is just pretending and they’re really only attracted to physical appearance. Even as hyperbole, that is a wildly unhealthy thing to believe, and you absolutely called yourself out.

                No they won’t.

                You unilaterally claimed that nobody is attracted to intelligence, that everyone is just pretending and they’re really only attracted to physical appearance. Even as hyperbole, that is a wildly unhealthy thing to believe, and you absolutely called yourself out.

                What’s wildly unhealthy is loving the person you’re fucking in the same way you love your mother and sister and grandma. I’m not the one calling myself out.

                  everyone except me is hiding the truth about what they really feel, but I know the truth!

                  That’s the position you’re going to double down on, in the face of everyone correcting you? No, the therapist won’t think you’re crazy at all.

                  You think you’ve found a gotcha, but you’re still just outing yourself. You think that a romantic relationship involves a single type of attraction, and that a single type of attraction affects sexual arousal? If I believed you capable of long term romantic relationships, I’d pity your spouse.

                    This is a strawman.

                    in the face of everyone correcting you

                    The Fediverse isn’t everyone. Everyone on the Internet is not even remotely normal and the Fediverse is pure distilled weird from the weirdest people on Earth. Yeah, I’m sticking to my guns.

                    You think you’ve found a gotcha, but you’re still just outing yourself.

                    You’re the one going for the gotchas and the dunks. I’m just defending myself. You know I don’t need therapy. You’re just insulting me.

                    If I believed you capable of long term romantic relationships, I’d pity your spouse.

                    I pity the hetero cis male who truly believes that his wife always loved him for his intelligence when she dumps him because his doctor can’t prescribe him Viagra and Cialis. Nobody’s hiding shit. We all know the truth. There’s a good reason why these meds are important and covered by insurance. Impotence destroys relationships and whole families.

                    Man, this thread perfectly illustrates why women despise “intelligence”. You try to tell an intelligent cis hetero man it’s 10pm and he tells you you’re a fucking moron who needs therapy because ackchyually it’s 10am in Banda Aceh and 6pm in London and 2100 hours in Milan. Nobody wants to be around that much less have it jizz in them.

        What about blind people?

        If you’re a cis hetero male looking for a cis hetero woman like the person in the OP meme, and you’re looking to attract blind demisexuals, then you’re not going to be asking why women aren’t attracted to intelligence in the first place.

        I’m being pragmatic and you’re all throwing spherical cows at me.
