Is it true that fit people, in general, are not intellectual?

It are true.

haven't there been studies done that see a correlation between low IQ and obesity?

i would think that an individual that is being active and health-conscious is displaying higher intellectual ability than some fat fuck that just eats and complains.

>haven't there been studies done that see a correlation between low IQ and obesity?
This is more true
Most people with some sense know to work out and take care of yourself

Also im pretty sure i want to spot her while she does straight leg deadlifts, spot real close

>>40090293
more neurons devoted to muscle recruitment=less neurons devoted to critical thinking, reasoning, calculating, etc.

but nothing in life is this black and white, and generally most intellectual people understand the benefits of fitness and try to do some sort of exercise however minimal.

there is a negative correlation between intelligence and strength, mainly because a lot of genetics is a kind of tradeoff. for the biological changes necessary for a lot of strength, intellectual growth has to take a backseat. biologically only, this has nothing to do with training/studying.

>>40090347
Yeah I think it is somewhat true that more obese people tend to be low IQ but really "beautiful" fit people tend to also be stupid. Fatty here btw who is pretty intelligent. I think obese people that are intelligent realize they are obese but it becomes a task when you were raised that way and have had literally no other diet. The stupid obese people could care less that they are fat.

Aerobic exercise like jogging has been shown to greatly increase functional cell turnover and regeneration; exercise is the best anti aging technique atm. If you want to maintain intelligence to the best degree and have the best neural regeneration, exercise is a must.

There are no perfect people. The mass majority of people will do the absolute least to enjoy social success. An attractive person does not need to be intelligent to be socially successful, so we will not assume that attractive people are smarter on average. People that are not attractive require other means of social mobility, such as intellect or humor. This is probably why "nerds" are usually not attractive, they adopt the pursuit of knowledge, and are successful in their social groups because of this adaptation. This is probably why females are not seen as being as funny as males. Females on average receive more attention than males, and do not need to adapt traits such as exceptional intelligence, humor, or advanced skill sets as required in sports

If we follow this, only a very small and disciplined minority will actually be both attractive and exceptionally intelligent, and when compared to the entirety of humanity, I would argue is correct

Note that this does not take into consideration nature, only nurture

People always make this assumption and I'm fucking fed up with it. People always assume I'm a stupid jock when in reality I'm a straight-A student who happens to go the gym.

>>40090744
... Hip flexors need training? The one muscle that's overdeveloped in nearly 100% of the population needs training for you?

>>40090293
The reason the stereotype exists is because of back in the day when manual labour jobs existed for retards. If you were "ripped" back then you almost certainly were some kind of idiot who chopped wood, dug trenches, did whatever hard as manual labour you did for 10 hours a day. It's a stereotype that followed us into the 20th century.

In general there is no correlation between intelligence and fitness. There are some good studies on it but no direct link. An intersection of fit people is mainly the same as a sample of non fit people in regards to intelligence. That is to say if you got 1000 fit people and 1000 non fit people you would find extremely similar results when testing for intelligence between the two groups.

But it doesn't matter because the stereotype will never go away and people will always think what they do makes them smarter than other people.

>>40090833
Yes, what does that have to do with intelligence?

Also I forgot to add there is also very good evidence that it is a perception issue as well. People who are fit tend to be much more outgoing, uninhibited (in social situations), and have increased ego to match. This also contributes to the stereotype because people like that typically have a much lower filter for what they say. So even though they might not be dumber than other people they decide to articulate dumb shit simply because of their social standing, self-perception, etc.

It's actually physiological, being obese decreases your cognitive function, so if you are obese, especially morbidly obese, you are probably not as intelligent as you think you are.

I feel a LOT less stupid now than when I was 430lbs (I am 260lbs)
Back then I had a horrible mental fog and could never think clearly. I used to think myself clever but did stupid things all the time

>Used to read childrens books and 'adultify' them by replacing each word with a 4 syllable word, then would publish the results on my blog claiming it as my own work
>Used to do crosswords in chicken grease 'ink' as a 'satire on my obesity not impacting my diction'
>Used to write large databases of soft drinks along with the moral lessons from their company history instead of working (got fired when my bosses found my 10 page essay on New Coke)
>Used to be very flow and considered myself 'thoughtgul'

I am sharper and more focussed now

But yeah, seems absurd to think that something that can cause such widespread metabolic havoc isn't going to impair you mentally.

Think of it as life being an rpg like Fallout. You get a set number of stats. If you're born exceptionally lucky or unlucky, you can get better or worse base stats with more or less skill points to distribute.
If you spend all your points in charisma (natural beauty), then you will have less to spend in intelligence. If you spend all your points in intelligence, you will have less to put in charisma. Here we get dumb beautiful people, and ugly genius people.
Let's say you shared your points. You can be decent looking with good intelligence. While being initially unexceptional at either, you have room to improve both at later levels.
If someone already has a high charisma build and chooses to get into fitness instead of books, you end up with a specialized build. Same with high intellect builds that ignore their body and instead choose to learn more.
However a large majority of us are not born in either extreme and instead have a more even stat distribution. We can get fit, and while we may never be as beautiful as some, we will still usually look good. If nothing else, it'll increase our endurance traits and help us stay alive. We can choose to seek knowledge, and while we may never have Einstein level IQs, we can become well educated and cultured, thus increasing our speech and perception skills.
Of course there are some of us that are born in either extreme that get all high base stats, and those with exceptionally poor base stats. This is a very small fraction of people. however.
Moral of the story, recognize your base stats and work with what you're given. If you were given high intellect but low charisma, bring your other stats up to par and take advantage of your strong suits. Personally, I think a high intellect build is best, since you're typically more aware of your faults and can quickly improve other skills. Low intellect builds may never realize their misfortunes, and thus never correct them.
