So you are telling us you are stupid now?

no, whether i'm stupid or not has never been the issue. i was just curious to see if many girls find people make assumptions about their intelligence levels based on their appearance/hair colour etc and do many guys find themselves automatically presuming a girl is thick without having talked to her.

Oh I have another story. This was about 6 years ago
Was finished work and met another girl on the bus at the same stop that I worked with. Her bf was there too. She asked my opinion on some shoes she wanted to get. So I answered one way, and her and the bf laughed that everyone else had chosen the other pair. Then he follows up with "well she [referring to me] isn't exactly the brightest anyway, so you can go with the other choice"
:eek:
Some plank I've only just met coming out with something like that. She set him straight fairly quick though

Well if said girl is drooling and repeatedly poking herself in the eye I think it would be safe to assume she is not the full shilling.

You understand where i'm coming from, it's not that i think i'm exceptionally intelligent or anything it just annoys me when people make assumptions without any backup. I think it's the hair colour in my case.

shakencat · 21-08-2010 05:12PM

i dont know why im even here reading this thread

AckwelFoley · 21-08-2010 05:15PM

People make presumptions, its a natural thing to do, its part of being human, it helps us in many ways.

Prejudices are more difficult to swallow if they are negative or if the effect uspersonally, but people will always make presumptions from small little ones to big ones.

Simple solution: Wear a T-Shirt "I am not really blond"

This sort of happened to me last night. Was at a table quiz and we came 2nd, after a tie-break round (in which the question we got wrong was about soccer). Everyone seemed shocked we came second, the host said to me on a smoking break "questions are a bit hard aren't they love". Ea, no, they really were not that hard. The level of general knowledge from the mostly middle aged crowd was shockingly poor.
I assume it's because our team was girls in their early 20s...
well F*UCK DA HATERS cos I went home with a crate of miller and a bottle of wine :rolleyes:

Well done OP, those boys were probably trying to give you some sort of compliment in their awkward 18 year old way!

I read threw 5 pages and still no pics...what has the world come to:(

Bonito · 22-08-2010 06:02AM

You got 580 and we need to explain this to you?

What the lads were really saying was:

"You got 580? No way!"
"Yep."
"Right lads, she's out of our leagues. Both physically and academically."
"Ahhh c'mon Barry surely she's good for a titty ****."
"A size 8? Luke, when the fúck have you ever been tit wanked by a size 8, ya numpty?"
"Good point, sorry. Can I use the rohypnol then Barry?
"Fúck off Luke."

5'7 is tall???????????????????????????/

You're less than a foot taller than Gary Coleman.

Not that tall when put into perspective.

stiffler123 · 22-08-2010 07:02AM

The two guys were probably trying to hit on you, and you were dare I say it "too stupid" to realize it. Whammy! Congrats on the LC though.

It's a way to pick up girls. How it works is you use remarks to tap into female insecurity; Shake their confidence. Neg is a negative remark wrapped in a back-handed compliment. So your neg will confuse and intrigue them and maybe even shake their confidence a little bit, but only enough for them to fall from the clouds and be interested in talking to you. Its way to get threw their defenses at bars and such.
An example of Negging a girl would be:
"You are nearly as tall as me. I like tall girls (LIFT). Are those heels 4 or 5 inches (DROP)?"
OR
You say, "Ahhh, that's so funny ... you nose moves when you speak...... (pointing and being cute) look there it goes again ... its so... quaint ... haha look"
She'll say, "ahhh, stoppp!"*blush*.
Now she is self conscious and having her in this state is where you want her. You have neghit her.

The leaving cert = A trade-off between career opportunity, and overbearing parentally-induced social retardation.

clived2 · 22-08-2010 03:35PM

boys want to put penis in girl
boys gives backhanded insult to get girls attention
girl gives attention

girl thinks about it wrong and takes insult home with her

I think this ends debate on whether the LC is an intelligence test.

( I tried to explain in the easiest way possible as you are not very bright)

Congratulations on your results OP

I notice that only a few people have either congratulated you or has answered your question (which you have repeatedly asked by the way!) Most people have replied to the thread just so they can question your intelligence :rolleyes:

You're laughing girl, you got great results and you'd leave most of the people replying to this thread in the shade.

Good luck with your future studies

If you're around trinity next year , I'll have a look and i'll tell you if you're hot or not

In my experience its always the girl with the stupid looking head, who look like they need a good seeing too

Deus Ex Machina · 22-08-2010 03:57PM

Op, almost every single one of your posts in this thread makes me uncomfortable and embarrassed, such is the transparency of this subterfuge "problem" you use in order to search for plaudits from anonymous users on an internet message board. I am agnostic towards the claim that you scored 580 points as you can't provide proof just as I can't disprove it, but that aside I think that you do appear to be alarmingly immature and insecure.

evercloserunion · 22-08-2010 04:05PM

Congrats on the results OP, but seriously, judging by this thread you may want to work on your social intelligence.

I did my leaving this year and got 580. On results night i went out with my friends to the local nightclub. Much to my suprise I was told repeatedly by guys that I don't look like i could get 580 . They then went onto to explain it's because i'm blonde, slim (size 8), tall (5'7") and in their opinion attractive (i wouldn't particularily agree with that). Just wonderiing if anyone else has experienced this sort of reaction where people assume they're stupid because of the way they look???

LOL

I'm not sure whether I'm laughing at the fact you posted this on a busy forum.
Or the fact you went and told a heap of strange guys that you got 580.
Or the fact you feel the need to be ego stroked on the internet.

I actually don't know why I'm laughing, but I am.
Ps - They probably assumed you were an easy lay.

"blond slim female, seeks open minded male(s) for fun, will travel"

do they have to have a hefty bank account ?

Look stupid?
