"Oh I get it, you're stupid!"

Postby supafrey » Fri Dec 14, 2007 6:23 pm GMT

This may be a funny or heated thread, i dunno yet.

either way.

When meeting people you barely know / developing friendships with acquaintances, what are some immediate TURN OFFS that you have that just make you think "gosh, this person is soooo stupid".

Is stupidity not something you care about when talking to people, if so, why?

Are there other things? Talking about themselves? Can you not talk to anyone with fake boobs? Can you not stand the Inuit? what?

Well I would like to say I am like Will Rodgers but that would be a lie.... :lol: ...I have met several people I didn't like.

Stupid people
Dumbasses
Bubbleheads
Drunk Bubbleheads

I originally said bubblehead girls but changed it to bubbleheads in general. Even bubbleheaded guys piss me off.

I hate people who are experts at everything. Not only that, but once they realise that someone sussed them out, they still carry on bullshitting and trying to sound knowledgeable.

Only last week there was this guy who was trying to tell me how to make a fortune playing poker online. (He never knew I played). He admitted he's had never played, but knew players who make loads every week and they had given him lots of advice.

Apparantly its all about bluffing. When I told him there's more to it than that, he then decided to try arguing with me, suggesting it's all about the size of your balls. (There you go, problem solved, no need for this forum anymore)

Not really for me. Some people just put off a "creepy vibe" and I instantly try to escape their company. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt when I first meet them. There are those who instantly dislike me and are aggressive or snotty toward me, but I just usually ignore them or "kill them with kindness".

I will say that lecturing me on the harms of smoking or drinking (Duh! Like I thought it was good for me!) will irritate me and cause one of the two actions listed above.

That is also very high on my list.

#1 for me though is stupidity. I admit that I am a total snob and if someone strikes me as ill-educated within about the first 15 seconds of us talking, I will write them off in my head immediately. That goes for guys and girls equally - she could be hot as hell but if she is as dumb as a brick, I am just not interested.

Why would this ever be a problem for anyone.

When someone rambles on about global warming or evolution, its like, man, get a life....

Thank you, thank you, but seriously folks for me it is whining and complaining.

ohh beerwench reminded me.

I can't handle any girl that smokes relationship wise. I might be able to talk to them as acquantances but not even 1 date for smokers.

Devout religious types, too, obv.

I can't stand boring people. Apart from that I think I can get along with just about anyone.

I close talkers and people who talk too loud.
Also agree with above when people are experts at everything when they clearly are not. I remember talking to this one guy in Costa Rica saying he is like the "smartest dumbass" on the planet and how he took the LSAT and got higher than anyone he knew...bla blah blah.

When I asked him what he got on his LSAT, he starts going oh I didn't do that good, backtracking. He got a 150.

There's a subset of these w**kers who are even worse. They think they know it all and ignore any logic that can prove otherwise.

Actually there are a lot of these people on the net :)

I have a really weird sense of humor and a strange way of making conversation, so it's usually pretty easy to figure out who has a brain by how they react to the things I say.

When I put myself in to "mind my own business" mode, I usually am quick to label stupid anyone who talks about Sports, especially local sports - Go Kitchener Rangers! - barf. People who talk about lottery tickets or pro-line. People who live with their parents until they are married. 20+ year old virgins. Ugly people. Retarded people. Anyone who drives a truck or an American-made car. People who don't like/have never tried weed. People who don't drink. People who don't dance. Guys who suck at pool, but own a pool cue. People who go to a golf course driving range with only one club. People under 18. Lots of people over 18. Lame dudes who think people respect them and act as if they have some sort of seniority, but in reality nobody likes them and they are really dumb. Chicks who cheat on dudes. People who are late for work. People who cheat on tests. People who drive drunk. Drug dealers that short-change their customers. Guys who cheat on long-term girlfriends. Girls that try to hook-up with guys with girlfriends. Poker addicts. People who think "guy" movies, like rocky, are good movies. People who didn't like Lost in Translation. Vegans. Guys who only eat steak, burgers, and chicken wings. Old people who smoke. Alcoholics. Heroin addicts. Coke Addicts. Meth Addicts. People who do E. People that haven't tried LSD, at least once. People that haven't tried Salvia, at least once. Girls that don't give head. People who like anal sex, eating shit, basically anything sexual regarding the anus. People who like 50 cent. People who don't like Kanye West. People who don't like the Beatles. Strippers/hookers. Pimps. People who enslave children, or force them to be soldiers. North Koreans. George Bush and anyone who voted for him... ie. roughly half of the population of the US. Some Politicians and some Lawyers. That's pretty much it.
