WHEN YOU WERE A TEEN

[Kaneki05]

Depends that's either a high end 9 or even 10 or a 0 since I don't count achievements academically a sign to intelligence it might and possibly could be but you'll find out just because a person can recite something back down on paper don't mean they can actually figure out how to use logic without it.

I am always attracted to smartness, but even a successful teacher can be not that bright they've learnt something and good at that but take them out of it you'll see it's more trained behaviour than using one's own expensive mind.
Also no doubt many smart people don't fit in at schools and do badly because of that. So overall I don't judge based on the school grades or whatever else paper say's. I judge them by there actions otherwise.

When I was a teen I was a moron. My preferences then should be taken with a grain of salt

Haha don’t worry everything and anything is insightful plus weren’t we all

Honestly, I was so focused on school as a teenager, I didn't even think about guys much (I know, I was a nerd, haha).

But now that I'm older, mature, and situated, intelligence was and still is a MUST for any guy I'm interested in! I'd say a 9/10

It was attractive to me then (I was a nerd myself), but I mostly dated girls on the track team because the nerdy girls were so nerdy that they didn't date. One, who was a good friend of mine, wasn't allowed by her parents to date (they did allow us to study together).

Academically, I could care less tbh. Though being smart academically could include other things that make a person interesting (like one of old my crushes is probably the smartest person I know. The intelligence wasn't that attractive but the way they carried themselves and the hobbies they had like reading and writing was.)

Extreme intelligence wasn't so important as NOT being stupid. Dumb girls were a major turn-off.

[zagor]

And still are.

It wasn't even in the equation when I was a teen.. only a hot face and hot body is all I cared about.. I have since matured.

Intelligence has nothing to do with academia

[kao118]

Yeah just for example

[jahaims]

It isn't important to most teenage boys.

[Jamie05rhs]

Very attractive.
