Why can’t I get a girlfriend?

[Yamu]

In 7th grade, I took an SAT test without preparing for it at all, it was spur-of-the-moment, I knew about it about an hour ahead of time and didn't do any research or anything. I scored higher on it than the average person using it to apply for college in my area.

An IQ test has shown me to be in the 99.9th percentile for IQ. This is the highest result the test I was given reaches; anything further and they'd consider it to be within the margin of error for that test.

My mother's boyfriend of 8 years is an aerospace engineer who graduated Virginia Tech. At the age of 15, I understand physics better than him, and I owe very little of it to him, as he would rarely give me a decent explanation of anything, just tell me that my ideas were wrong and become aggravated with me for not quite understanding thermodynamics. He's not particularly successful as an engineer, but I've met lots of other engineers who aren't as good as me at physics, so I'm guessing that's not just a result of him being bad at it.

I'm also pretty good at engineering. I don't have a degree, and other than physics (my chosen major at this intellectually deplorable school) I don't have a better understanding of any aspect of engineering than any actual engineer, but I have lots of ingenuity for inventing new things. For example, I independently invented regenerative brakes before finding out what they were, and I was only seven or eight years old when I started inventing wireless electricity solutions (my first idea being to use a powerful infrared laser to transmit energy; admittedly not the best plan).

I have independently thought of basically every branch of philosophy I've come across. Every question of existentialism which I've seen discussed on Reddit or anywhere else, the thoughts haven't been new to me. Philosophy has pretty much gotten trivial for me; I've considered taking a philosophy course just to see how easy it is.

Psychology, I actually understand better than people with degrees. Unlike engineering, there's no aspect of psychology which I don't have a very good understanding of. I can debunk many of even Sigmund Freud's theories.

So why can't I get a girlfriend?

It could have something to do with the fact that you sound as boring as the proverbial batsh*t

Sorry, not trying to be nasty here , but you won't meet many girls that place that high of a priority on IQ tests and intelligence around physics or engineering. Try having more diverse interests, movies, cooking, gardening, sport, travel, volunteering, geez anything that gives you another string to your bow.

How is your appearance, do you shave and shower regularly, wear decent clothes? Where do you go to meet girls.

ALso what are you looking for? Someone to gloat about your scientific achievements with or someone to have fun with ? Just a question, if you are looking for someone, identify what you are looking for in a partner and adapt your habits to go to those places where you are likely to find that type of person. Might not always be the library or science lab.

Good luck

That you Croweater?

 

[Coolangatta]

LOL

 

[imadodgyumpire]

You should do the Landmark forum, then tell us why you don't have a girlfriend.

 

[tandino]

For anyone looking up this thread down the track when this guy eventually tries to shoot up a sorority house, we did not encourage him.

 

[kickazz]

Assuming you are not trolling:

Because you are self absorbed.

This is what I thought. And everyone can get a girlfriend if they lower their standards enough.

 

[mr bagcroft]

Hell Im not a chic but Ill * ya!
hmmmmm...thermodynamics!!

how far did you have to go

Aren't you the Richmond flog who once bragged about his $900 suit and $6000 bed?

Would have thought wealth puffing is your last resort to lure in the shazzas

Nope. I have 2 suits that were $300 each and 80 bucks for the extra pair of pants. Not sure how much my bed was, was no where near that though.

A six grand bed should get you better than her surely?

I would assume it is because you are full of s**t

I find it extremely amusing that someone who lacks class, etiquette, and the ability to use correct sentence structure and grammar thinks that they can say such things. I'm actually surprised at the amount of hypocrisy. I also find your continuous use of logical fallacies, straw men, and baseless accusations is a bit sad. Although I don't need to explain myself to you, I will restate my position: I'm not lying. Although my claim may not fit the convenient narrative and/or reality that you've built for yourself, it's the truth. I do find it rather curious that you'd spend such time focusing on me, rather than improving your intellect or the bigfooty shortcomings that you claimed to want to improve on.

I really didn't spend much time focussing on you. Sorry to disappoint.

This bloke is surely taking the piss.. High IQ individual who spends his days on this cesspool?

 

[Angus Young]

You're smart...

so be smart.... stop worrying about sluts and go and make money.

So you can attract better sluts

 

[Angus Young]

exactly... this campaignerttt gets it.

 

[Mr Cashie]

Use your intelligence to generate wealth then you’ll never have trouble finding a gf again. And also, clothes maketh the man.

I also have problems enticing a member of the opposite sex to fornicate with me.

I consider myself a feminist. I don't believe in enforced or uniform gender roles; they may happen naturally, but they should never be coerced into happening unnaturally. As in, the societal pressure for gender roles should really go, even if it'll turn out that the majority of relationships continue operating the same way of their own accord.

I treat women with the same outlook I treat men, and never participate in the old Bigfooty "women are crazy" circlejerk, because there are multiple women out there and each have different personalities just like there are multiple men out there and each with different personalities. I don't think you do much of anything except scare off the awesome women out there by going on and on about the ones who aren't awesome.

I'm pretty much a pacifist. I've taken a broken nose without fighting back or seeking retribution, because the guy stopped punching after that. The only time I'll fight back is if 1) the person attacking me shows no signs of stopping and 2) if I don't attack, I'll come out worse than the other person will if I do. In other words, if fighting someone is going to end up being more harmful to them than just letting them go will be to me, I don't fight back.

In closing, the people who know me in real life all respect me, as do a great many people in the online brony community, where I spend most of my time.
