Any truth to the whole really smart dudes struggle with girls, meat heads are naturals gimmick? I have seen examples of it in real life.
Know a dude who has never heard of Mystery who runs day game in trains and is a natural. Dumb as a brick. We were watching a show and the character got a kidney implant. Dude says, 'Now she can have kids again.'
Also know a guy in IT, cant get laid to save his life.
First post, time to come across like a total twat.
Speaking from personal experience, I'd say yes.
I'm 25, I started a successful tech business 3 years ago that now employs 6 people and has major international clients. I went to an all-male school that is widely regarded as the most academic in my country, I read law at one of the top 5 ranked universities in the world. I speak 5 languages with a reasonable degree of fluency, I taught myself piano from scratch to conservatory standard. I'm 6'1, 190lbs with abs, a former boxer, and I've been approached by one or two well known international brands to do modelling campaigns for them.
To say I get laid infrequently would vastly oversell my prowess. The above, I'm sure, sounds incredibly boastful, but I say it only to illustrate that there are no guarantees. Everyone I know assumes I get laid like a rockstar. As recently as last week I was repeatedly accused of being a player. I've slept with 4 girls in my entire life (2 were models). Two of those were one night stands, one was a terrible relationship that made me redouble my efforts to only look to my self for fulfillment and peace, and the last was a model who was happy to date me exclusively for 18 months, without demanding exclusivity in return, although it eventually ended when she pushed for it to be a relationship.
The fundamental problem, I think, is that I'm terrible at having what you might term 'light fun'. I am not a big drinker, so struggle to cut lose or show a lighter side to me. I'm not without charm or wit, but I'm also not 'fun', from most girls around my age's perspective. I find parties fairly tedious, by-and-large, I struggle badly with small talk, I'm only really able to be interested in people who are willing from the outset to engage in more substantial personal discussion.
I think fundamentally, if you are introspective and academic by nature, it can be very hard to engage with people who are trying to have a good time, because your ideas of fun and their ideas of fun are totally divergent. A long list of achievements can look good on paper, and there is deep fulfillment in many hard won achievements, but happiness is more complicated than success, and cannot in my view be totally ascetic.
Anyway, That's already a fairly major digression from the main course of this symposium. I hope my post is taken in the spirit it was meant, and not as some thinly veiled brag. The TL
R of it all is that being 'smart' can definitely complicate some areas of your life, particularly talking to girls, because most girls are dumb, and if you can't engage them on a level they can relate to (like being fun), then you may as well be an alien.
