How to Choose Smart Girls

Smart girls are sexy. They’re witty, insightful and they’re always wearing those funky darkrimmed glasses. Okay, maybe we’re generalising a bit, but our point is that it’s worth your time to learn how to pick up a smart girl. We’re talking about the kind of girl who tells great stories and the kind of woman who gets all your jokes. She’s a great conversationalist and she’s genuinely interested in the world around her. So the only question is: How do you attract intelligent women? Initially, it may seem as if the two of you don’t have much in common. Those obstacles, however, can be easily overcome.

1 Don’t fake it: Remember that scene in Good Will Hunting when Ben Affleck tries to pick up Minnie Driver at that Harvard bar? Remember how he tries to look all smart and sophisticated, but instead he just ends up looking like a douche? Yeah. Don’t be that guy. When you’re trying to pick up a smart girl, it’s imperative that you don’t, under any circumstances, pretend to know something that you don’t. First, she’ll probably see right through your sorry act. Trying to sound smart will only make you sound dumb or worse: pretentious.

2 Don’t defer to her intelligence: OK, so you don’t want to act like a know-it-all, but don’t get caught playing dumb either. Just don’t fawn over her. Even if you’re legitimately in awe of her intelligence, don’t let on. Giving her compliments like “Wow, you’re so smart” or “I never would have thought of that” may seem harmless, but they don’t necessarily reflect positively on you.

3 Be honest about what you know: When you meet a really intelligent woman, you might find it difficult to carry a conversation if the two of you don’t share many common interests. But just because you haven’t had the same experiences doesn’t mean she’s out of your league. You might not be able to relate to her specific passions, but you do understand what it’s like to be passionate about something. Show her what you know and share your passions with her.
