Ok, I don't think men like STUPID women but I do think SOME men like women who need them! I can open a jar of jelly myself but the second I twist the cap and it doesnt open right away there's the BF opening it for me! When I was married I built the whole wall unit by myself no help from the ex husband (he was a moron anyway) but the new BF would never let me cause he thinks its a mans job to build and hammer and all that! Its not that I have thee impression men like STUPID women! Its more like I feel that they want to be the care giver! As a woman I feel it is my duty to allow him to think he is smarter and stronger! I guess I am old fashioned in my thoughts! BUT that doesnt make them wrong.

I think thats a pretty smart thing to say.
 
I have dated men who were not what I personally considered to be my intellectual equal and it hasn't worked out. This is partially because I want to be in the "submissive" position which doesn't jive with being smarter. I can do a guy qith equal intelligence. And as far as smarter, bring it on 😉 (as long as they have social skills!)
I think one guy dumped me because he was much older and I made more money than him, tho that's not intelligence really.

To the men:
Do most of you like women (either just friends or a female partner) who are smarter (intellectually, emotionally, socially, etc) than you? Or would you feel too intimidated and rather her look up to your intellectual abilities.

Interesting question.

For me, it really all boils down to the attitude that goes with it. If somebody's arrogant about their education, their IQ or any other intellectual abilities, that really disgusts me. There's no reason to hide one's intellect, but I can't stand people becoming snide about it. That sounds so terribly old-fashioned, but I'm just a fan of modesty.

So, to answer the question: If the woman's smarter than me and not feeling superior because of it (or if she's at least able to hide it reasonably well), that's cool with me.
 
Hmm, I was just thinking of how cool it would be to hear a smart lady giggling out ten dollar words while you tickled her.

Sigh, such for fantasies.

Oh boy I think what I said came out wrong.. I meant it in a nice way! LOL sorry!
 
I dont care if there smarter as long as they don't beat me down with it. Usually one can't truly be smarter than someone else completely. But for the sake of this thread I'll assume its completely. I care for ambition, if theres no ambition than I could care less. That is in a prospective girl friend. In a female friend I really dont care one way or the other.
 
so what you're saying is that you'd be happy and impressed to find a woman as smart or smarter than you, to be able to challenge your ideas. you don't really say anything about over-intelligence though. is there ever TOO much brains? or are you betting that your math/engineering are just that good?

No, not really. Though come to think of it, perhaps. I've met a couple of people who I'd consider to be at genius level, and they just work in a completely different realm than I do. They're the kinds of people who can hold the entire universe in their heads and work stuff out with obscene ease. Reminds me of this little anecdote:

Two trains 200 miles apart are moving toward each other; each one is
going at a speed of 50 miles per hour. A fly starting on the front of
one of them flies back and forth between them at a rate of 75 miles
per hour. It does this until the trains collide and crush the fly to
death. What is the total distance the fly has flown?

The fly actually hits each train an infinite number of times before it
gets crushed, and one could solve the problem the hard way with pencil
and paper by summing an infinite series of distances. The easy way
is as follows: Since the trains are 200 miles apart and each train is
going 50 miles an hour, it takes 2 hours for the trains to collide.
Therefore the fly was flying for two hours. Since the fly was flying
at a rate of 75 miles per hour, the fly must have flown 150 miles.
That's all there is to it.

When this problem was posed to John von Neumann, he immediately
replied, "150 miles."

"It is very strange," said the poser, "but nearly everyone tries to
sum the infinite series."

"What do you mean, strange?" asked Von Neumann. "That's how I did it!"

I couldn't live with a person like that 😛. I mean, I'd love it, but they'd tire of me rather quickly...

But I have no problem with someone being smarter than me in a relationship.
 
When I was in college there were these two girls that were average looking, but smart as all get out. Most of my more intellectual buddies and me agreed, they were two of the sexiest girls on campus. I got to tickle one while we were talking, and she still sounded smart when tickled.
 
Beautifully put! :smilelove How many people around us are "book smart" without being street smart? This question gives me headache.

XOXO

This may have been said before, but to me, I am very welcome for a woman who has more intellect than I. I just don't care for a woman who would be condescending, or as judgmental inasmuch as she would not respect, or degrade my intelligence. That is my opinion, and my two cents.
 
All types

I dont really have a preference... i think.
I like to be with a girl and to not have her make herself out to be too smart or too kick ass and take names.
I like to know the real girl behind all the hype they might hide behind.
So if she's really smart ( dont dumb yourself down ) Or if you are not really out going then dont go wild party animal on me.
I'll like you just the way you are. i Promise.
 
WOW, this is definitely one of the best threads I have seen so far.

The way I think about intelligence to start with - it is nothing to be really proud of. It's the same as with physical beauty, you were either born with a high IQ / a beautiful face or not, there is nothing you did to achieve it, so IMHO everyone who is lucky enough to have it, should be really grateful for being so gifted, but should not feel as if only therefore she/he was a greater human being. It's all about what you make out of it.

As for the initial question: Yes, I can only imagine a LTR with someone being at least my intellectual equal, I would definitely not "tone it down" permanently, that would not be comfortable for both partners and would just not work in a relationship.

But as important for me would be, that the guy's intelligence is combined with character and a great sense of humor. I have known a few highly intelligent men, though I love to discuss and analyze things, they could just keep their IQ and get lost, cause they were so deadly serious about themselfs it was just too boring.

Well, I definitely do. She doesn't have to be as good as me in my areas of knowledge, but she has to at least be on my level generally.
 
I loooove intelligent women. Intellect is such a turn-on. I think where it becomes a turn off with some guys is in their own insecurity... If they believe they can't compete or believe that she'll leave them to find someone more intellectually stimulating, then you have problems.

But if she loves you, period, then that insecurity is misplaced. There are other qualities than intellect that make people worthwhile. Still, for myself, I really need an intelligent woman -- someone who can challenge me in a discussion, stand her ground and defend it competently if she disagrees.

If the guys you find don't appreciate intelligent women, or feel insecure, you're looking in the wrong places. Nice guys and smart guys exist who treasure intellect.
 
Smart meaning of course that they always agree with me! :veryhappy (Ducking various objects being thrown at me from site women) Nah! I like a woman with a brain so I can discuss esoteric things such as philosophy and wild things such as Thrash Metal! :devil2:
