What is the lowest IQ you would date?

I'm just here for lolz, although I am curious:

For all those that have IQ limits\ranges, do you whack out the test on the first date, or do you maybe get a group of potential dates together, and hire a hall and invigilator or something?

i cant really say there is a particular IQ "cut off level" if you will..I mean i wont not date someone because they dont have a degree or something as long as im able to have meaningful conversations with them without feeling increasingly stupid listening to them lol

Well as long as they are dressed up in the New York Times and not the National Enquirer...would bang.

I'll take a single cell organism wrapped in the latest Victoria' Secret and heated in the microwave.

Victoria's secret? Ill take wall street journal- it has girls with glasses.

Grab a Sharpie and spruce it up.

haha- see i didnt think of that. you have a higher IQ than me.

Meh, depends on how they present their intelligence.

I don't like teh dummehs.

And I'll add to this, I really don't like people that are arrogant or are constantly trying to seem smart, like using big words that are just awkward in context of the situation, makes it seem like they're trying too hard to me!

IQ is a flawed construct. I need someone who cares about art, culture, and science. As long as he or she can keep up and present interesting thoughts, I don't really care what score they were assigned on one or more of several tests so biased they might as well be arbitrary.

:flowerforyou: agreed

IQ-IShmew As long as she eats at least 1200 calories a day and eats her exercise calories back and hits her macros, I'm good.

lol :laugh:

How much money does this person have?

I'm curious about all of the people claiming they would only date people with outrageously high IQ's.

Are you aware just what percentage of the world population you're limiting yourself to if you go by people that actually can claim that? It's an insanely small number. (much less than 1%) For ****'s sake Einstein's estimated IQ is 160.

You're discounting a high number of people that are most likely intelligent in ways that are not tested by an IQ test. You're dismissing those who have strong artistic (aesthetic) intelligence. You're also dismissing those with emotional intelligence.

Also, what use is an IQ score in the real world? Does it mean that you've achieved anything tangible?

Y

so

cereal?

I don't have cereal... Can you share yours?

Absolutely.:flowerforyou:
Just went to the grocery store...the pantry and refrigerator were pathetic.

YAY Cereal! What kinds do you have?

I don't make my evaluation of someone based on a test. Everyone is smart about at least something or another, it all depends on whether or their knowledge and personal life preferences allow both of us to work well with each other. No one really wants to date someone that's completely unintelligent in all aspects of life, but I get that some people (me) really stink at Maths, but do well creatively .
Street smarts are an awesome thing to have, but I've been sheltered most of my life...so I'm pretty naive. Does that make me stupid? I don't think so, just different from someone else who grew up in another environment.
Unintelligent people are, in my opinion, someone who avoids all forms of educating themselves and wastes their lives away doing useless, unhealthy things.
You don't have to go to college or have some high number on an IQ test to be considered smart in my book, you just have to be motivated. Have a goal, have something you're passionate about that makes you excited with life, and you're pretty great

I've dated my share of stupid men. I would not use a college degree as a barrier to dating, since there are plenty of idiots with a higher education; however, if they can't participate in an intellectual conversation or don't bother reading a newspaper or news magazine every now and again, I'd pass and look for someone who was more interesting.

Some of us with relatively high IQs don't like reading the news. I pay more attention to it when I'm out of the country, but it's always so depressing that I don't enjoy it.

ETA:

Like are you ok going out with someone a little bit stupid, a lot stupid, or not at all stupid?

I couldn't deal with any women less than about 150. I've tried. And, it's just exhausting having to explain things all the time. Of course, the flip side is they are more challenging. And, they're hard to BS. LOL.

you're kidding right? that literally knocks out the majority of the population. I'm guessing that you are misunderstanding something here.

Heh, I was thinking the same thing. My ex's IQ (official) is something like 150, and yeah, he's ridiculously smart. Finding someone that (book)smart is quite difficult!

Intelligence quotient is a measure of how intelligent you "may" be, it is just a standard set of tests believed to measure potential. At my age potential is usually achieved or in route, perhaps at the age of 10 I might debate using IQ as a base but now a conversation with various topics would be a better showing of our compatibility.

However I would never date a person that didn't show intellect on some level. I cannot have a relationship with a person that cannot have a conversation with me. My SO has a degree and I will soon, but when we met we were both young and only high school educated.

They have to at least be smart enough to hang shower curtains.

What's hysterical about this, is anyone over 130 is considered gifted...and the guy who can't figure out how to take a selfie without us having to see the camera will only date geniuses.

My IQ is 146, btw. Dodged that bullet, thank heavens.
