Allthough, it'd probably be the other way around. The "guys who don't like smart girls" inside the "guys you don't want to date" circle. There are lots of guys who DO like smart girls that you probably still don't want to date, but normally you don't want to date ANY of the guys who don't.

I see your point, however he said the venn diagram of guys you don't want to date and guys who don't like smart girls. Such a diagram would have both circles, which I definatley agree one contains the other. In any case this is just being technical and the point he was getting across was both clear and important.
veddabredda, at 06/04/2013 09:38, says:
Yeah but, the venn diagram he's talking about is just the combination of those two things. So it's a circle. If you were to factor in absolutely everything in all venn diagrams, there would only be one venn diagram and it would be too complicated to read.

i would argue its more like a circle within a circle, you dont want to date a child molesting mass murderer even if he doesnt want you to be dumb

I think this is one of those things where there isn't a 'how to do this'. There isn't a way to keep going, you just /do/. You can't just 'move on' from something as big as the death of a close person, but you keep going. Live your life, have fun, do stuff you like doing. There is nothing wrong with enjoying yourself despite a tragedy, and there is equally nothing wrong with expressing your emotions about it.

My two close friends Drew and Alex have both recently killed themselves due to bullying and I really don't know how to cope. I can't self-harm like I used to due to a promise I made to someone I dearly love and music helps a little but eventually I have to go back to reality and realize that they're gone. How do I cope with that? How do I move on?

I agree so much. if a guy doesn't like you because he thinks your too smart or too ANYTHING for that matter, please do NOT change yourself or belittle your intelligence for him.

Yoooou should write a college book. Like a book based in college. I have a feeling it would be awesome.

Wow, that was LOL and wise too -- and I'm an advice columnist so I take advice seriously! I also was at the Edgar Awards when you won -- so cool! Congratulations on your books and vlogs!! (I'm a vloggin' novelist too...)

The Venn diagram is indeed a little circle in a bigger circle: while you don't wanna date boys who think you are too smart for them, there are also lots of boys you don't wanna date who don't think so.

I scared that I going to college while still living with my parents I'll be graduating in a year and I feel like I'm all grown up, my childhood is gone and I'm only 19! I feel soo incomplete like I didn't even get the option to risk getting thrown up on I feel like youth has passed me by and I'm not even 20 what should I do? Should I try to maintain my "youth" or should I try to embrace the scary that is full fledged adulthood?

The mountain goats link is apparently an installer talking about Adobe Flash or something. Could be spyware or a rogue, I didn't bother checking. But I wouldn't recommend trying it.
