"You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women,

love that..so true...haha

Pam Song said...

Haha. I'm glad you agree. But ya lor. I thought it was pretty true, too. Cos it's very important to a woman that she can find a man she can respect. Even if he's not "CLEVER" (book knowledge), as long as he's "SMART" (wise and intelligent), she can still respect him. But for men, it helps them feel smart if they've got a woman who's slightly less intelligent than them. But honestly, I think that's an insecurity they should deal with. I know plenty of smart guys. But I also know plenty of smart women. But those smart guys always seem to go for dense bimbos. I wonder why.

Anonymous said...

Wonder why?
It is bcos the man saw the 'smartness' in the woman of his heart when others seem to despise her intelligence. Thats the beauty that words could not express...=)

Pam Song said...

Wait wait. I'm lost. Explain yourself.

Anonymous said...

Okie...Okie....The lady could be dense bimbo in the eyes of the public but in his eyes, she could be 'smart' and attractive in some ways. That is why the chemistry bonds. Haha =)

Pam Song said...

I'm not talking about attractiveness wor. I'm talking about intelligence. IQ. There's no way a woman can be dense and have high IQ at the same time, if you ask me. IQ is IQ di lah. No way he can see it others can't. In fact, if it were the other way round, it'd make more sense.

Anonymous said...

True I agree that it is impossible to be dense and having high IQ at the same time....but woman with higher EQ is even more attractive than woman with high IQ.

Pam Song said...

Eeyer, see! You're another one of them!

Anybody would want a partner with high EQ. But you actually SAY that you PREFER somebody with high EQ than high IQ! You'd rather somebody who can help you feel better than somebody who can help you work on the important decisions in life. Once again, you see a woman as mere emotional company. We happen to be intellectual matches to you men, too you know. There's more to us than a smile and a big hug.

Pam Song said...

You know, nobody has the right to say that EQ is better than IQ or IQ is better than EQ. They're both equally as important. If so, then why do you have a preference? It'd be great if your woman had a balance of both. And balance does NOT mean more EQ and less IQ.

Anonymous said...

Hahaha.....Wait, wait...hold your horsesla lady =)
Lets work the formulas out:-

High IQ + High EQ = Very rare but if I find her...thats mine! =P

Low IQ + High EQ = Still admirable and can be considered for candidate. Cheh! Like interview hor...

High IQ + Low EQ = Beh Tahan! Because the woman is smart but dunno how to control her emotions. Can be very hard to please.....

Low IQ + Low EQ = No need to see at all.....Saw also, pretend not seeing.....

Understand? Joke-joke la kawan.....=P

Pam Song said...

Eh, EQ encompasses so much more than juts controlling emotions lah. It's about being able to read, assess, perceive and manage your emotions and the emotions of others around you (singular person AND groups). It includes social intelligence in some ways. It's not just about being able to control ones emotions. Just cos I can control my emotions, it doesn't mean that I have a high EQ. I may suck at being nice to ppl. Or I may push my way with people until they come to hate me. Just cos I never cry or shout or get upset, doesn't mean that I don't cause other people to cry, shout or get upset.

But friend, low IQ also hard wan lor. I'm not kidding you. How can you be with a woman you cannot have an intelligent conversation with? It's the same as it being impossible for a woman to truly be happy with a man with no EQ.

Anonymous said...

Hahaha...its going really deep now.....fasten your seatbelt lol!
If a person cant even control his emotion, for sure he has low EQ lor....

Tips of having conversation with low IQ girls but with high EQ girls;-
1. Never talk about job.
2. Never talk about studies or formulas.
3. Never talks about politics.

But talk about common knowledges like beliefs or something else that she is good at. Who say we cannot have an intelligent conversation with such girls. However, if my girl could accompany me and challenge my mind on formulas.... then she is rare breed! I lock my eyes on such girls! =)

Pam Song said...

Ya ya, I know that if they cannot control their emotions they have low EQ. But I'm saying that controlling own emotions is not a good judge of EQ. There are so many aspects! So even if they know how to gauge OTHER ppl's emotions, it also means that they have EQ that's extroverted ma.

Eh, in this time and age, our jobs take up so much of our time. In fact, since you're studying and working at the same time, most of your time and brain power is consumed doing what you always do. So how is it possible for you NOT to share that part of your life with her? So weird!

And come on, these aren't the only aspects that high IQ ppl talk about lah. There are so many different aspects to IQ as well. Academic Aptitude is not as narrow as you seem to think it is. There's logic, analytical and spatial (visual) intelligence, plus other areas of intelligence like linguistic, music, mathematical, etc... Just cos the girl doesn't score in ONE of these IQ areas, doesn't mean that she isn't smart.

Anonymous said...

Hahaha....you got my point! Bravo girl!

"Just cos the girl doesn't score in ONE of these IQ areas, doesn't mean that she isn't smart."

Personally, I dont like to talk about job at home unless she asks. Spending 8-10 hours at work is already brain draining....summore you want to discuss about it at home? Anyway sharing comes automatically when you are in relationship; I mean you dont have to demand for it.

Pam Song said...

Yeah, but at the same time you didn't seem to classify that as intelligence! You prefer high EQ. Means you dun care about visual-spatial, mathematical, logic, blah blah blah... at all!

And about the job thingy, you said it - sharing comes automatically. But you said you won't talk to her about work. So how can you be in a relationship and BE HAPPY if you have to compromise and not share that part of your life with her simply cos you think that she's not "smart enough" to understand?

You know, I tried it. I tried not sharing work with people I care about. To leave that part of my life blank so they don't feel like I'm talking about things they don't understand or so that they don't feel like I'm boastful about my job satisfaction.

But work is such a huge part of my life. And so much of my happiness DOES come from doing what I do day in and day out. In the end, I felt torn. Like two parts that are important to me cannot gel. It's very difficult wan leh.

In the end, I realised, cannot lor. We don't live two lives. Likewise, we can't share one part of our lives and not the other. We can't say we care for the person and hope the person care for us but not share everything we care about with those people.

Anonymous said...

Its not that I dont care but if she has it (the high IQ) is a plus to me lor. EQ is what gets you along with another person while IQ eleviates the conversation to higher level. Its really hard to talk to a girl with High IQ but low EQ. Its like banging your head against the wall and life is just so miserable.

Aiyaa..you need to understand man's heart....learn a bit ok! I am not sure about your man but this is what I think....

The reason I do not want to bring work back home or talk about it is because I want home to be a home for her too. It is time for relaxation and spending time together. If she must say it and feels comfortable with it, then I will cruise along and open up.

Pam Song said...

"EQ is what gets you along with another person while IQ eleviates the conversation to higher level. "

Okay, I agree with this totally. But that would also mean that if you go for a woman with lower IQ, that's the benchmark for all you guys will be able to talk about. Imagine being with a bimbo all your life. It's torture, I tell you!

And you say that talking to a girl with high IQ but low EQ is like banging your head against the wall. Well, this only shows something. If it's true and you say her IQ is high, how come you dun agree with what she says since she SHOULD technically be right? Means you not that high IQ that's why you both are incompatible? If what you say makes sense there's no arguing to be done cos I believe that if she's really that smart, if you make sense, she can agree because it appeals to her mind.

Hmmm. Actually, I dun like to talk about work at home also. But it's a part of my life so when there are joys at work, I want to share them, too. Much like guys wat, no? I mean, if you have something great that happened (like maybe a promotion), wouldn't you like to share that joy with her? Or maybe you got this fantastic project to work on, wouldn't you want her to know and share in the joy with you?

Relaxing and spending time together is one part only ma. I like relaxing and spending time, too. But there are also times when other parts of your life have to overlap. Like in this case, work.

Anonymous said...

1 Word for it: The way she said it la! That classified her as low EQ even the answers could be valid. That was really a turn off in communication.

And common, will you want to spend the rest of your life with a man with low EQ as well? Who acts sorely in the eyes of the public and has no repects for the elders?! Maybe you will...but not for me.=P

You will be surprised that as you climb the organization ladder, it is the attitude that determines your altitude not your IQ. Trust me...you will definately see this. =)

Pam Song said...

Well, that's what I said! I don't want a guy with low EQ.

"But friend, low IQ also hard wan lor. I'm not kidding you. How can you be with a woman you cannot have an intelligent conversation with? It's the same as it being impossible for a woman to truly be happy with a man with no EQ."

But you seem to be happy enough with a girl with low IQ. Well, I guess your choice has gotta work for you. Whatever the case, I don't think I could live with the compromise of High EQ, Low IQ. At least I don't think I can respect the person I'm with as much as I should. And that's no way to be in a relationship.

Anonymous said...

hahaha......ideally I dont expect my woman to be the combination of high EQ, low IQ type. If she is High IQ-High EQ, *ringing the bell* ting ting*....she scores a point. =)

Honestly, woman with low EQ is definately a turn off to most men. I dont think that I can live with low EQ's woman.....No matter how pretty and high IQ she is, if the attitude sucks (low EQ), she will not earn my respect at all.

Pam Song said...

Haha. But hard to find leh, that type of woman. In the same way it's difficult to have everything, it's difficult to find everything in a person.

But yeah, I agree that man or woman alike, if Low EQ, it's a total turn off. And everytime, it'll be difficult to communicate without getting exasperated.

Anonymous said...

Hahaha....they are rare breed. But that is not enough, if she is a worshiper of Jesus, lagi best.....magnet...magnet...magnet.....And Im attracted to such single and unattached woman lol! Jesus rocks!

And yeah, thats rite....no way to communicate with low EQ partner. I rather be single than to marry a low EQ partner....=P

Pam Song said...

Actually it's true you know. Being alone is better than being with someone who doesn't understand you or is a constant stress factor in your life. Very teruk wan leh. It's worse than being alone cos you've got someone physically there with you but you still feel lonely on the inside.

Aiyo, being a Christian and all that are givens lah. Sure have to have that criteria lah. Or else no need to see also. No matter how smart, no matter how beautiful, no matter how sweet.
