I am sometimes intimidated by highly intelligent men so I don't think it's that far fetched for men to be intimidated by intelligent woman. Sometimes, it's not intimidation but moreso admiration or a sense of awe about what the person knows and whether or not we feel we have enough in common to carry on a conversation with them. I'd prefer someone who is more intelligent so that I can learn more but also someone who would respect my intelligence as well, which I assume would be anyone's wish.
And of course, keeping in mind that there are different types of intelligence, and each comes in handy in different situations. |

Of course men are intimidated by educated women but I will in fairness say not all men; just the insecure ones. Much like many are intimidated by an independent woman.

I am very independent and have realized that I can not make a relationship work with a man that is not independent! I like intelligent men that can challenge my thoughts and carry good conversations as well! Indianadave...you are correct that over-sized egos ruin the attractiveness of some very intelligent and educated women! |

And of course, keeping in mind that there are different types of intelligence, and each comes in handy in different situations. I totally agree. One of the things my ex kept saying was, "you are very intelligent, I am just stupid." I had a really hard time getting her to believe I thought she was intelligent. I don't think she ever believed it. |

Here you are thinking about the person you love and you truly respect what they are saying then they tear themselves down. Then the argument turns to you arguing about whether or not they are intelligent with you trying to say they are and them, well, not so much.

Oh My...
I'm in my 3rd year at University double majoring... full intentions of Ivy league for grad school... I hope its not problematic! But I mean... its not so much intimidating as just being accepted right? I mean some guys go loco over sports, and aside from World Cup (the only sport ever worth watching) I'm not super interested. However I have no issues with him liking that stuff. Just like I hope he has no issues with me going crazy over Shakespeare. We all have our vices right? Mine just happens to be sonnets... :p |

My ex used to say we were both stupid, but one of us was a little less stupid than the other. We kept arguing who it was. The neighbours used to burst in into our apartment and peel her off my body when she was about ready to smash my skull with a concrete chunk. (We kept that chunk in the house, precisely for that purpose: to settle arguments with.) |

Of course men are intimidated by educated women but I will in fairness say not all men; just the insecure ones. Much like many are intimidated by an independent woman. I agree. It's like a cat will attack a mousie, but she won't attack an elephant. Predators usually -- nay, always, go into battle that they are sure to win. To marry a woman who will beat me with the Socratic method every night, convincing me, and forcing me with logic to do the dishes, is NOT my idea of an ideal relationship. It's also nasty when we decide if the soup is too salty by invoking Kant's Categorikal Imperativus. That one sucks, I tell you. Or take the independent woman. I had a girlfriend, who used to charge me money for -- what she called it -- sexual favours. She was independent. If you are a woman and want a guy to get hooked on you, charge him for every sexual favour, and not only for the "all the way"-s. Hand-massage: $5. Kiss on lips: $20 per five second intervals. His hand on your leg: $12. And so on. Boy, I am getting hot just writing this. If you do that, he'll be so hooked on you that he'll never think of another woman. You don't need to be pretty or anything, either. Just make him pay and pay. |

I see many graduate student women concerned about finding a mate before finishing their degrees! Many believe having a master's or doctorate makes it more difficult to date. I have never really sat and pondered this...so, what are your opinions? my first thoughts are that this would attract more serious men rather than the players, but what the heck do I really know? LOL |
