academically slower-do girls care

[joel]

are girls willing to date , be freinds with or hang with a guy who is academically slower learner than she is. i am talking about stuff like math -there is a problem solving component it requries u to think and use forumulas to solve the problem, programming-visual basic 6.0 requires u to type in code and make the simple program work and run, accounting has probles to solve for X and they give u this and that. this is at the college level and also at HS before i was slow.like phsics 11 in HS was hard for me all these problems and solving this and that ah hated it gave me headaches same for math problem solving and some math too-required u to really think sometimes. i usually get it but it takes time i have to ask the teacher after class or on her office break or ask fellow classmates who are willing to help me out.

when it comes to straighforward stuff like intro to business class or HR class its easy read the text read the notes and maybe do the questions at the back of the book and ur set for the exam.

so i am saying do girls look down on guys and is it a turnoff if the guys is lets say a slower learner and needs to ask the teacher for questions about something he didn't understand. i now if she ain;t to u who cares someone will, but i just want ur opinions and thoughts.

Joel it's good thing to ask questions and make comments in class. It's free publicity and advertising. The girls and guys get used to you talking and comfortable with you and next thing you know they are talking to you like they know you.

I think it shows that you are an ambitious learner. It would be a turn-off if a guy showed that he didn't care about learning and sluffed off.

 

I dated a guy who wasn't booksmart but he worked hard, and when he went to college he studied even harder. I flunked out of university because I didn't know how to study. High school came too easy for me and I got A's without studying.

 

Work hard, study hard, and it will pay off. You need to concentrate more on yourself than on what the girls think of you.

I shut down when I see letters and numbers dancing around on either side of a horizontal line. Some people really relate to that sort of thing though, and welcome the challenge of telling you why e=mc2. I remember whenever I showed my mother some impossible formula that formed part of my homework from school, she'd whip out her specs with irritating glee and launch into a long-winded explanation that was as clear as ditchwater to me.

 

I really admire your determination to get the better of these problems. A lot of people just give up and turn all their attention to the things they're naturally good at.

 

I don't see why your lack of mathematical ability should a turn off. Some people do like to insist that the things they're good at require a higher grade of intelligence than other subjects or activities do, but it's best to just shrug that off. Unless the apple of your eye is an junior Einstein, I don't see why your difficulty in grasping the meaning of various numerical codes and formulas should make any difference. Just find out where your strengths lie, and that will be how you make your money when you need to

what happens if u get lower grades than her lets say ur a c plus to b minus students and shes like a b plus.

lets put it this way what happens if she gets higher marks then u-will it be a problem.as a whole do u girls care. i usually thought a girl going for a smarter or smart guy meant better earning potential and success which equates to more money-like doctors, lawyers, successful businessmen and anyone who went to univ with a bachelors or higher. women love successful men.

 

i had this problem before in HS got my mark in science 9 scored like 56% yea it was hard and the girl next to me got like 80%(something like that -just scored higher) and said "such a poor mark".

Then she will respect and admire your work ethic, tenacity and willingness to learn and find you more attractive then if you just sit silently in class getting the same marks. Besides it's a good opening line to ask her questions about certain things you are having a challenge understanding.

funny thing is i was never academically blessed-i study hard and i get maybe around average c plus and low b's -yes i occasionally get the crazy 85% or something but that is hardly, and yes sometimes i do so bad too.

was told to go into trades-as those ppl who go into trades generally didn't do really good in school.

i go to college taking business courses 2 yr dilpoma program

Everyone is different. I can tell you that No, it doesn't matter. But then someone else is going to say Yes, it does matter. Neither of us are wrong. Every person is different. If it matters to a girl you like, get over her because you won't be happy with her. You'll find a girl you like even better and it won't matter to her.

 

Good grades does not always guarantee a good salary.

Poor grades does not always guarantee a poor salary.

 

My husband, whom I consider very smart and who graduated from College when in his 50's and with a 4.0GPA, reads and writes at something around a third grade level because of serious learning disabilities and neural damage he suffered. He learns visually. He didn't know this - when he was a kid they had never heard of dyslexia. He thought he was stupid his whole life -- until I got hold of him! I went to college with him for a while just to prove that he could do it.

 

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Don't worry about your grades as they pertain to girls or dating.

Not everyone is gifted with mathematical ability; I am one of those people. I had to take two remedial math courses because I had been out of practice for so long. Always ask questions and seek help when you need it. Everyone learns at a different rate, and not every style of teaching will work for every student.

 

I hope that you are not looking to enter a field which involves a great deal of mathematics; it sounds as though you have trouble 'getting' some of the advanced math. I switched from computers to an English major, as I have always seemed to know my way around English, and I enjoy it very much. If I dedicated myself to studying, I could further myself with higher mathematics, but I do not think this is the direction I want to go in.

 

Study what you enjoy, if you can. If you have to take certain math courses as a requirement, always seek help when you need it. My major area of study does not involve mathematics, so I am happy to be able to understand and get through my math courses, but do not stress out if I don't grasp onto everything immediately.
