Yeah, no. I agree the IQ test is flawed, but i got a scholarship to Oxford at the age of 17 and I got a First, I'm definitely not stupid. I could be ugly, that is very hard to self-evaluate. However, the amount of men that want to get with me before they know me would go against that. I think it's a personality flaw. I don't think that is better than it being because I'm ugly. It's a lot easier to change the way you look.
Yeah, but I get picked out of the group most times. It's kinda frustrating on this site that you come here asking for advice because you have a problem, and then instead of advising you on that problem, people want to pick apart every piece of your issue instead...just sayin. As you don't know me, it would be a lot more helpful if you'd just assume my perceptions are accurate - there would be no point asking for advice on being smart and attractive, if in fact I was ugly and stupid, because the advice I would get would be completely useless and irrelevant.I didn't come here to boast about my good qualities, I came here to ask for help with my poor ones (my personality).
Basically, people react badly towards those declaring themselves highly intelligent and "very pretty", regardless of whether the common consensus supports that opinion.
They are instantly predisposed to being overly critical of the person, to challenge these assertions.
I think some people here are doing this, and that this is unfair - but not unexpected.
Unfortunately, without knowing you well, we aren't in a position to determine why you can't get a boyfriend. Certainly we're in no better position than you are, and since we only have your side of things, I doubt we can give you any new insight.
I'd suggest you ask your 5 close friends, see what they have to say. Tell them not to worry about hurting your feelings, and for them to be as honest as possible. They might be able to help.
All you'll get from us a vague speculation and probably some acerbic and disparaging remarks. Oh and some optimistic 'hang in there girl!' encouragement, too.
It could be the whole "cheerleader" effect or whatever How I met Your mother calls it (lol).
Personally, I am only calling you a narcissist out of jokes based on what some others have said. In all honesty, I think more detail would be needed on you and perhaps a picture to be able to make a somewhat close assumption on what can help. I know that's my issue with posts about being pretty or not (the rest can be explained by text), a picture is pretty much the only way we can see if your physical appearance has a play in it or not.
How the bloody hell did you do that? Are you studying over in the UK/US, or what? As far as I know, for UK students, even if you get 15 A*s in your GCSEs and A levels it's still pretty much impossible to get a scholarship. (And actually hard to get it in by paying unless you do a bunch of extra curricular stuff!)
Also, what IQ test we talking here? It's not just *the* IQ test, there are lots of different kinds (disregarding the online ones, they're a load of bs).
I was put up a year at school, so as far as I'm aware that's how I entered Oxford early - I also published a successful novel when I was very young, which I think helped a lot.
As far as the IQ test, I took the Woodcock-Johnson when I was 17, and the Stanford-Binet when I was 20, I also took the Cattell III B in order to join Mensa when I was 21.
I'm smart, pretty, weird, and I can't get a boyfriend

You posted here for advice? You're better off browsing subreddits like r/needadvice.
