Would you date someone "UNINTELLIGENT/DUMB"? (wife, women, loving)

[CosmoStars]

There has been discussion I had with some people and they were mentioning intellectual conversations and talking about things like various artist, famous, political things, some history concepts but some people are known to be ignorant or slow or dumb about these things or just not have a natural intellectual curiosity to be knowledgable

And im not sure if generally some men or woman like to be challenge intellectually or about these kind of things
Would date someone who is not really that intelligent or a bit slow on intellectual knowledge?

Like say there are 47 states in the USA when there are 50?

Or that [Candidate xyz] would make the best president ever

Or Bill Clinton invented electricity

Somebody for who they are, dumb isn't as bad as mean or nasty!

OP: I have no interest in the topics you mentioned but I am far from *dumb or ignorant*, there is a difference between lack of interest and ignorance.

If they are kind, caring, considerate and have humour when talking about things and actually hold a conversation then that's what matters to me more than anything than their I.Q score/intelligence level

I would find someone pretending to be interested or appear to know something they don't ( to make themselves appear more intelligent ) most off putting

I'm not at all the brightest spark and would get lost and I'm sure look a bit stupid/redundant in a few topics of conversation but on the whole I'm not stupid so it's quite subjective and would differ from person to person to what's important to them

She needs to be not dumb, intelligence comes in some flavors and I don't care if she's not super detailed book smart as long as she's got common sense and has intellectual curiosity, if she's just some bimbo type that likes to shop and get her nails done and if that's the height of sophistication for her, than no, ain't having it.

No, I don't really want to date anyone dumb or slow or woefully uniformed. He doesn't have to like everything I like in the same way that I like it, but if he's not curious about the world and open to new experiences and interesting to talk to in his own way, then we're probably not going to work.

I am particularly put off by people who can't be bothered to write proper English. IF they are foreign -born I cut them some slack, but not much.

I like intelligent women. All the women I've been involved with, including my exwife of 18 years, have been academics. That said, I'd rather a woman be loving and caring towards people than highly intelligent.

Hell naw! I deal with dumb people 40-50 hours a week at work, damned if I deal with a dumb person in the bedroom on top of that.

When it comes to attraction intelligence is subjective.

I wouldn't have an interest in a guy who knew about, and always wanted to discuss, quantum physics or the God particle.

But yes, intelligence, the type I like, is very important. I would not be attracted without it.
