Calling All Intelligent Singles!

Lavalife, plentyoffish and eHarmony are just few websites that make up a good chunk of the dating world nowadays. One thing you’ll notice if you’ve ever been to the sites or you can just assume this is true...there are always profile pictures.

They're mostly a requirement on those anyways along with the fact that whether we admit it or not, looks matter.

Some folks are now trying as hard as they can to erase that somewhat shallow fact by starting up intelligentpeople.com. It's a brand new online dating and networking community exclusively for, you likely guessed it, intelligent people.

So how do they determine who’s alowd to become a member? Just trust that they got good grades?

Not so much! You actually have to take an IQ test in order to join the other smartie pants.

So I thought 'what the heck, I’m pretty smart! I’ll try it out!'

Went to the site...did the whole sign up to be tested process...got through 7 of the 18 which image is missing from the equation challenges...and then quit as I actually started to feel panicked by the harder ones, as in I actually had to take deep, calming breaths.

Tried again a few minutes later with a friend in tow...got through the whole thing which was guessed at for the most part, only to get the following message:

Sorry, you did not pass the IntelligentPeople.com IQ test.
If this was your first attempt, you have the opportunity to sign up again and have one more attempt to become a member.
You cannot take the IQ test more than twice.
Thank you for your interest.

You’re...welcome?

And thank YOU for further proving to me that I’d much rather find me a pretty man than someone who can match pictures well.

They should have SOME brains, but being a part of intelligentpeople.com...not a requirement.
