Would you date someone who can't hold an intelligent conversation?

Intelligence is not atomic. It has types.

Some people are emotionally intelligent, they can feel your emotions easily and support you the way you need.

Some people are socially intelligent. They know how to maintain a high number of friendships and contacts without compromises.

Some people are highly talented artists.

Some are intellectuals, some are highly intelligent in business, some in science, some in politics.

You cannot limit a person to a single type of intelligence and judge them based on that. That would be unfair.

As for me, emotional intelligence matters the most.

If she has a favourite Kardashian, there won’t be a second date

[MCheetah]

That's one of my biggest turn-offs, actually. So no; never. I actually WAS with a girl like this as well in 2015 (had a banging body, but learned she was a feminist and closed-minded), and had to dump her because I can't be with someone who I can't respect.

[WesBrewer]

Are you saying like someone with Tourettes where they will start cursing you out on accident, or someone who doesn't know my language well or just someone who can talk at all, like they physically can't speak, because if it was any of those then yes I would be chill dating them, but if it was someone who wasn't intelligent enough to speak, I don't know if I could do it, probably not.

[GingerGuy]

Probably not overly important to me depending what you classify as "intelligent conversation". I'm not a big talker in general, and a lot of topics people talk about bore me lol, so I probably won't care so much. Example I'll never sit and talk politics with someone, ever!

Define intelligent conversation.

I have seen people talk about which colors to match in which lighting, and it was still very intelligent. I guess when we let people talk about things they are passionate about, we can see the light in their eyes.

[JackofSpades]

I mean I don't need to delving deap into the works of Nietzsche or Marcus Aurelius or discussing the the evolutionary history of arthropods.

Some of the most fun conversations I've had have been just nerding out over fandoms or arguing over the proper way to construct a cheeseburger.

It could just be that I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "intelligent conversation" though.

[SHREYASH007]

yes, intelligence is an acquired ability and not inherent and I can guarantee you that if anyone in contact with me is not able to become intellectually sound or at least sound like one , then I lose but I never lose and I love challenges.
I will in fact transform the girl such that she will start feeling like a PhD researcher.

[ArrowheadSW]

Most likely not. I do know people who have a limited background and limited life experience due to circumstances beyond their control. But if they can still hold a somewhat intelligent conversation than that is good.

[Anonymous]

I don't know what you mean. There are numerous subjects and points of discussion. You can delve into many individual subjects and tie it all back together to a point. I can't fathom anyone one who could not maintain such stimulating conversation, Squirrel!

[Ally247]

They need to be able to hold a decent conversation. Intelligence helps but I've got enough of that for us both.

[jasco]

No, i have my moments of when i am super serious. I sometimes need my times of no funny business and more lets get work done. Happens in everything i do so now i couldn't do that

[Iknowbestgirls]

Well what do you consider an intelligent conversation? Talking about politics, science? Or just a mature conversation about things you both enjoy.

[chriscdi]

depends, as long as she isn't brain dead stupid its fine

[Anonymous]

Probably not, honestly. That's fine for a fling, but not long-term.

[Skankhunt]

No, I need someone who can hold an intelligent conversation (deep conversation).

[Luckycharms12]

Well if its fun and random that can be just as good so yes

[Twenty2]

Sure! I love conversation. Doesn't matter if it's intelligent or not.

[Jmmmfi4]

I'm more concerned with what I can put in her mouth then listening to what comes out of it. So yes.

[jshm2]

Only if sex/money was the only interest.

[Avicenna]

Definitely not. It would be too boring.

[pigoat]

What do they talk about if it's not intelligent ?
