I don't really like being friends with people who think I am dumb, even if that's what I am, because dumb people are looked down on in society.
In terms of dating, idk there might be exceptions for various reasons, but I have read it is a scientific fact that competence is one of the main qualities that attracts women. The reason confidence is an attractive quality is because confident men are usually confident because they are competent. Women are wired through evolution to desire men who will protect them and be a good father to their children.

Geez, man, what planet are these so called 'people' from? I mean, where do you find such close-minded losers who assume you are dumb because of some of the things you say and do? I do stupid stuff all the time and usually just laugh it off since I'm not doing it to be stupid, I just have this rather bad habit of saying/doing before I think. Sometimes it's an asset because the outcome of such behavior can be hilarious. Yes, there have been people over the years that look down on me because of it and my response to them is "eff you and the horse you rode in on". The last thing I care about is what other people think about what I see as my 'quirks'. It's not like I can just snap my fingers and make them go away, so I figure I might as well have fun with it when I can. Of course it gets me into trouble sometimes - I have lost jobs and relationships because of it - but in the end, I'd still rather be who I am than some cookie-cutter human who must conform or else.
And for crying out loud, put down whatever crap it is you are reading that makes you think all women are looking for some caveman to come along, grab her by her hair and drag her to his hut. Most women in this day and age are perfectly capable of providing for themselves and through the miracle of science can have all the children they want without involving a man and do a fine job of raising them on their own. Women want companionship and someone to share their life with, good and bad, and to grow together and love one another. Everything else is just gravy.
