Is it a turn off to be good at math?

Question

Guys, does it turn you off if a girl is great at math or at least better than you? If she has a nice personality and looks, it might not, but does the fact per se annoy you?

I’m turned off by f*cking math in general, nonstop random ass bullsh*t getting drilled into my noggin, just JFK me already, it would essentially be the same thing. I mean really, some asshole really just be copy and pasting Latin scriptures onto some papers, handing it to the math teacher telling them it’s district approved, and calling it a day. If I wanted to learn how to speak f*cking Madagascar-ese or whatever the hell, I would have taken a foreign language class. I have career projects that need plenty of my attention, and I’m forced to waste time on bullsh*t I’m automatically going to forget as soon as we take the test, sometimes even the day after. It’s that damn useless, at least now. It was relevant up until the end of elementary, 6th was fine, everyone basically skipped 7th grade since it was online in 2020, and I am done with it now. Instead of boosting my IQ it just boosts my f*cking chromosome count, every time I walk out of math class, I never feel like I did anything useless and more like that kid from Family Guy who’s head is flipped over. If she’s good at math good for her, I f*cking despise that shit these days. PHUEW, I spit! Time wasting - brain cell frying piece of shit pothead garbage!

And for the record, I’m not saying this just because I want to get out of class for the sake of it and bullshit around, I actually have real career projects in development that are preparing me for greatness. You may be thinking “do it at home”. Well let me tell you little girl/boy, being the world’s Greatest Conga Artist is time consuming and takes a lot of brain power. By time school ends, my brain is a f*cking shriveled raisin. When I go home the only thing my mind has enough energy to do is to regenerate my brain cells so they can get dissolved the next day. Furthermore, the school actually serves as a great working environment for me, the Library would ESPECIALLY! It’s a damn shame the district only likes to shove in useless crap and take out anything that people can use throughout their life. Driver’s Ed is enough of an example of this, shit was thrown behind a paywall like those dumbass kids in a soccer game during P. E who always cheat and get away with it. Working at home can in ways be… distracting, and I can more easily get in the working mood at school, if only I had AT LEAST a single period to myself to do some stuff that serves true purpose and relevance. At least in that situation even with the math trash getting in the way, I could go to bed feeling like I used the day doing something productive.

You know I am seriously considering sending my counselor an email regarding this shitty schedule that was cursed upon me. That dumbass basically guilt tripped me into feeling like a THIRD YEAR of this mind scrambling horse shit is necessary when I knew the whole time it for damn sure isn’t. For some reason my English teacher gave us a paper to choose classes for next year having us and our parents sign it and whatnot. It would be reasonable to assume we would turn this in for the counselors to review on which I left a note, but no. Well, I guess that’s it. I want to roast more but that pretty much sums it up.

I was never big into math but, I ended up doing tons of it while doing my many various recording projects, having to figure out how many records can fit onto one tape or CD.
I took beginning calculus in college in the `80's and actually liked it!
And, although I don't know the mathematics of it, I CAN solve a Rubic's Cube in about 20 seconds. Most of those other cubic puzzles are even easier.
In high school, my math teacher taught me a couple of really cool card tricks, one of which was a mathematical one that, as far as he & I know, nobody's been able to figure out how it works. It just does!
I can't see how it'd cheese ME off if she was better at math than I am! My ex-fiance was heavily into Indian philosophy and was TONS better at any of it than I was but, it still didn't keep ME away from her!! Just like me being a pretty good drummer (which she wanted to be) and having thousands of records she wanted never bothered her.

LMAO, that would be a major turn on. I'd date her based on that alone.

That would be a huge turn-on for me and many bright young men. If she were better at math than me she would be quite special as I was working through my mother's Calculus text by myself at 11, and was in the top 100 in the Putnam exam as a college junior. If only I were like 19 and single.

There was one that got away in university who was great at math, and that's still one of the most attractive things I remember about her. I am a attracted to the mind, and any sign of genuine intelligence is a big turn on for me. In my ideal world my woman would be better than me at everything, and physically stronger, and I would clean dishes and stuff... Ahh, the easy life! Haha, I wish!

SotiCoto · Answer

Nope. At first I thought you asked the opposite... Was gonna say  "Of course it is a turn off to be bad at maths"  ... but you said good. Why would being good at something be a turn off? What a silly question...

ImHere22 · Answer

Why, how could that possibly be a problem? Wow, a lot of men are super insecure! My wife is better at finances and budgets than I am; she went to school for it, so I would hope she’s got a much better understanding than I.

TheLightningRick · Answer

Nope, honestly intelligence is what people should look for when looking for someone looks should be secondary. And honestly someone who would challenge me on math is someone I would look for because I was an AP Physics 1, 2, and C in High School

RavVid · Answer

Well you won't be better than me at 18 because I've had more years of maths. It isn't going to annoy me or attract me. I will mostly be attracted by your body and character.

NathanDavis · Answer

'this is actually how I fell in love with my college girlfriend (even more)  when she corrected my math on the spot...

edmcuck · Answer

Not at all! It's interesting and captures attention with deeper characteristics.

Fireguy17 · Answer

Not at all. At times I tend to be a bit dyslexic so it would be good to have someone that can double check me.

CozyCoffin · Answer

Not at all. My struggles with math started in freshman year and I needed to have extra tutelage in order to have good grades all the time.
