Are girls put off by intelligence?

I've been talking to a college girl (19) for a few weeks now, she knew I graduated already since we met but she assumed I was like 24 or 25. I told her I was only 20 recently and now she won't reply to my texts.
I know it could be a million other things but I feel like my age was a factor.

    Ask her.
    Text “are you put off by my age? or is it that I graduated earlier than most?

    I’m just trying to figure out what went wrong”

    If she says neither, she isn’t put off. Explain your circumstance - how you graduated so early, etc,.

      Lmao, he is talking about being intelligent. He is clearly, as he just said, 20 years old with a bachelors.

      No OP, she just wanted something casual and you demonstrated you're not going to be on campus anymore.

      I've already texted her 4 days ago asking to get lunch and haven't heard back, I'm not going to text again with no response

      But I don't see how all this is related

      I said in the OP that I'm 20.

      What part of this involves intelligence?

      I started college very young and have a bachelor's and a master's in engineering, she knew I had a master's from the start but not how old I was.

        To me this just says either you’re rich, or deeply in debt, nothing about intelligence. Dedication, sure, and maybe maturity, but not necessarily intelligence. I know some pretty dumb people with degrees.

        No, the bulk of women find it very attractive on its own. Being an autist is deeply unattractive, though.

        If you're a sociable, confident, and generally knowledgeable guy, women will be drawn to you. If you're a cripplingly shy aspie who memorizes encyclopedias as a hobby...not so much.

        OP is implying he graduated early. Although she also could have assumed that OP graduated high school, if he didn't specify.

        Now I get it lol

        Maybe she likes more mature guys, don't take it personal. And also, we don't have enough info.
        Could have been something sent in the text convos as you mention you have been talking with her for a few weeks
        Didn't you ask her out during that time?

        I'm not extremely confident but I'm not shy either (I did ask for her number after all) and I'm 5'11 with a good face so I'm not a total loser

        How the frick do you get a master's in engineering by 20?

        That tends to happen when you start college at 12.

My read of this situation is that she isn't put off by your intelligence, but rather the implied childhood and socialization that comes with you going to college so young. Like I'm sure you heard in your last thread, your parents kind of fricked you socialization wise. You're leagues ahead of everyone else career and progress wise but socially you are stunted if you posting on this website is representative of your other behavior. People seek others who are balanced in life, or at least unbalanced in the same ways as themselves. I would at least act shy or a little nervous when mentioning your degrees and age next time, make sure you aren't coming off as arrogant or something which is hard.

            I believe it. Look up youngest ages of college entrance. OP has the rare combination of a high IQ and parents who are wealthy enough to send him to college early. Most people only have one of the two.

          It's just the autism. not the things you like. If you can reasonably carry on a conversation and read the room, some subjects might tend to be boring to women, but they'll still like seeing a guy getting fired up about it.

    Yes, most likely she is still in her hoe phase and will only consider you once she wants to settle down (assuming you have turned your brilliant intellect into a money making scheme by then).

    I think it's the age, not the intelligence. She was probably looking for someone who has a few more years under the belt and already settled down somewhere that she can mooch off of, having all the ducks in a row and all that. Being a college grad is great and all, but at 20, she likely thought that you still live with your parents and use the family minivan to get around. Or she thinks you're lying about one or the other.

      Alright I wanna fun of you, but I won't. Instead let me just tell you some real shit.
      Women are going to spit on you for at least the next 4-5 years of your life. After that, they will take you more seriously. 25-30 is the gold zone for men. When you get there you will know, women WILL treat you differently. Right now is the time to focus on yourself and making yourself worth a woman's time, trust me bro, I know it's hard but you have to do it and it will pay off if you play your cards right.
      No women aren't put off by intellect.

      You really think that's the case? There's tons of guys I know in college that have gfs basically the same age as them
      There's no way she thinks I'm lying, she follows me on insta and my grad pics are on there

      [...]

        It's not that all women dislike guy's their own age, but there is a sizable proportion of them who prefer to date 5-10 years older than themselves, usually it comes from them feeling like they are more mature than guys their age. It also could be completely unrelated to any of this stuff and she literally just met a dude who is hotter,more charming, more "her type", etc. Maybe she thinks you are lying about your age, which would seem creepy. Unfortunately you will never know. Just don't internalize the rejection.

    There are various types of girls with different preferences. Some will find intelligence particularly attractive, others won't appreciate it as much. I don't see what that has to do with your situation though.

    First and foremost, absolutely not. Graduating early isn't necessarily reflective of your intelligence. The resources that were available to you are an important factor in that equation as well. It takes maturity to acknowledge your life circumstances and the abilities of those around you. Likewise, striving to be number one doesn't give you a realistic frame of reference to strive toward. Comparison is a beautiful thing when it is used properly.
    Personally, I grew up in a rural town. There were no resources available to those who wished to strive beyond what their school district expected. I live in the PNW now and regularly see kids with 2.5 GPAs attending my college alongside their high school studies. They tend to be quite immature, close themselves off from other people, and use excessive amounts of AXE body spray.

      If you tell me a way to do that without doxxing myself, sure.

      The girl is probably into older guys (for some arbitrary woman reason) and assumed you were one. she then realised you were not actually old, just a nerd.
      Don't overthink the logical reasoning women go through.
      The bottom line is, she's lost interest in you for some reason and you probably need to just move on.
      By the way, thinking that women are put off by intelligence alone is moronic

      It's probably your age, yeah. Even if you're a genius, you're still at or below the emotional equivalent of your age peers. This thread pretty much proves it.

      Fair enough, I just didn't think it would be an issue since I'm still older than she is and I wanted to see if anyone had any experience. You're right that my emotional maturity isn't up to par with my academics but that isn't really my fault, I had no friends in undergrad since I never lived on campus

    It's probably less about the intelligence part and more about the age.

    Honestly, if I were messaging a guy and he said he had his master's at 20, I'd think he was lying. Whether he's lying about his age or the degrees would be a toss-up though. It's not something to be ashamed of or anything, but definitely something to be aware of.

    Imo, avoid bringing it up without proper context, and present yourself with your age first instead of your qualifications.
