Intelligence is multi-faceted. Could be witty, could be street-smart, could be emotionally intelligent. Either way, you don't need it if you have the other two (with "funny" being a euphemism for "not dull"). Height especially. I don't have a dog in that race as a gay man, but the way that "preference" bleeds into the way people treat you in the office and in social settings (and even in the classroom) is pretty frustrating. Short guys (and, to a lesser extent, women) have to be within a certain range of personalities to do well; tall guys don't have to have a personality at all.
- polio 4y agoYes, those are all colloquially accepted meanings of intelligence, but what people in this thread mean is g, fluid intelligence.
- sillysaurusx 4y agoNot really. Or at least it’s not what I meant. Charisma (rizz) is closer, but on the opposite side of the fence. You want to aim for charisma, not fluid intelligence. But getting there requires creativity and confidence, which often go hand in hand with intelligence. In other words, if you have a high g spot, you’re in a good position. Fluid intelligence good to have. But you have to translate it into something social-facing: jokes, a hobby, something other than merely being a meat-based database of knowledge. People can get that from google.
