How to Find Intellectually Stimulating Types in Small Towns?

Post Reply New Topic

This is something that is driving me nuts. I can't find one damned person I have something in common with. It seems like most the people are backwoods, and there is no intellectual capital where I live. I would move, but I am finishing up school. In the mean time I am applying for almost anything but cashier and fast food places (which seems to be the predominate jobs I see online). People say network, but with who? That is another issue though. I guess how do you find intellectually stimulating dates? I wish I had some money so I could at least go whore it up some place. IDK anymore. . So far I have adopted the whack a mole approach, but I never get past the first date. Any thoughts?

Bus 'em in.

You don't. I know how you feel though, because I was in the same situation for some time.

At this rate a Filipino chick or Asian in general looks appetizing lol (the mentality is about the same, except the Asian's tend to be more open, but I would put up with some of the differences.). Or heck even Latin. If it were not for child support it seems like that idea is a good one. But if I am going to do anything permanent, it seems like a good idea to move some place else. CL is kinda sucking as well. I am thinking of moving. Maybe if I get a job I could hi tailor it up to Canada .

Http://www.meetup.com is your best bet. Look for book groups or even stuff like yoga or anything that brings out the brainiacs. You might have to drive a bit further out though. Btw someone being from a different culture doesn't mean they're going to be more intellectual.

^^^Well jeez thanks a lot.I guess I will change my name to typhus.

^^^True enough,and once you get to a certain age everyone has baggage.

I think that after some point, the fact that someone never got married generally means that there is a reason they didn't get married. Maybe they couldn't make up their mind or felt that nobody was good enough for them. Maybe they are gay. Maybe they are just plain antisocial. Maybe they use drugs so much that it rules their life.

In my case, I get along with people only up to some level. Beyond that and I start to feel really smothered and can't get out of there fast enough. The result is that for someone interested in a long term relationship or marriage, I'm really not the one from whom to seek that long term relationship or marriage.

Like I said, there are some exceptions out there. A woman I know who is a little younger than me, but not much, recently did get married for the first time. That really surprised me since she was still living with her mother after all these years.

I am seriously considering eventually moving abroad at this point if things don't change. I might try a different city just to make sure it is not me. But it is really frustrated. It reminds me of a title of an article "A Pestilence is Upon the Land" (or something to that effect) in Loompanics. Seems kinda fitting. That is the story of my life. I really hope I can get out of here soon. Either that, or find a Salsa instructor XD .
