Like attracts like...if you have to protest...why not be frank and honest and if you could reword your OP....why don't the men here want ME. Again, rhetorical...blah blah...don't try to put it back on the men here. They know intelligent and witty and it's very appealing...it doesn't mean it's you
I find intelligent,funny,witty and positive to be very attractive.
op. to be a 20 something and full of yourself,yes we all been there and hopefully over time things will level out in the big picture of the world.
imo, what does scare me is when one puts up these road blocks at such a early age.
Hopefully, with maturity it will not deter in being open and honest in relationships that see's the other as a equal.
And if not, you can always blame the others why you can't find that special one.
good luck  | |

Posted: 12/19/2008 9:01:19 AM | I prefer wisdom over intelligence. But theres got to be both. Some intelligent people are so busy reading and ingesting knoledge that they're not aware of whats going on around them in the real world. Books are not always a good source of knoledge. Hands on and life experience would always come out on top.
Something that really burns me out quick is a woman that thinks she is smart and her mouth never stops running and most everything coming out of her mouth is simply silly. These types are never wrong. Just ask them.  A little bit of their type goes a long ways. I suddenly become too busy for their type. " NEXT!!!!! " | |

Posted: 12/21/2008 7:29:26 PM | To be honest, I do think of myself as "witty" and "intelligent". I get attention from fellow "witty" and "intelligent" 18-25 year olds. Maybe it is just the area you live in? I live in and by Chicago (depending on the time of year) and you live in a small town in Michigan. Maybe guys nearby aren't looking for that or are older guys, thus limiting your potential mate pool?
This is all theory, however, and I could be talking out the side of my neck. However, I find that people that are intelligent in small towns find themselves stuck and frustrated finding someone to be compatible with (male and female alike). | |

problem occurs when blokes realise that in reality you are none of these.
classy, intelligent and a gsoh can also be perceived as snobby, up your own ar*se and strange
not because they are intimidated, but because they feel deceived

Posted: 12/22/2008 10:16:54 PM | i like intelligent and witty women
but most of the ones that profess to be like that are boring and really arent witty, and are extremely feminist
i have no problem with limited feminism, but ya know, like the feminazis
i generally dont like bookish types, i like adventurous types that are intelligent and attractive and actually somewhat aggressive, not ho hum type of stuff
but even if someone was like that, chances are that a lot of guys would be driven off, because well, they're stupid | |

Posted: 12/23/2008 1:55:14 AM | It might be that some women think they're intelligent and witty when they're not, hence when a man dislikes a woman who thinks she is, they automatically assume that men dont like intelligent or witty women.
This is in no reference to the OP who maybe intelligent and witty. :)
Oh and intelligence, wisdom, and 'wittiness' isn't confined to a specific age, just thought I'd throw it out there. | |

Posted: 12/23/2008 3:19:19 AM | I believe that this is not true. The problem exists only in your opinion and excuses. You didn't get dumped for a sexpot, men are not intimidated. But, a righteous man or woman will not stand for someone who thinks they are a superior person which is sort of what you are inferring. Try to remember it's not a competition, this dating thing, but trying to find the right person. Maybe you are attracted to the wrong type of guy.
Instead of blaming the outer look inner and you will always find the right answers.

Seriously-- don't write them off. Some people are mature enough to know what they're doing, and yet young enough to avoid extreme cynicism. Not that there's anything wrong with a little informed cynicism, of course!
Glad you got something out of the post.

Posted: 12/23/2008 6:56:39 AM | actually id say theyre not, they just say that so they sound smart and not shallow and whatnot
well when people say 'intelligent' they mean it more in a narrow 'good at life' type of definition, not broad real intelligence | |

Posted: 12/23/2008 2:18:42 PM | Oh, boy. This is one of those questions in which you are "darned if you do and darned if you don't."
I'd like to think of myself as intelligent and witty, but it really depends upon the day, the moon and stars in alignment, etc.! Sometimes I don't sound terribly intelligent at all.
I will say, though, that I believe it's more of a challenge to meet and find men who enjoy a combination of good conversation, flirting, and attraction. In fact, for me it is a huge challenge! And, I'm not saying so from an inflated ego perspective. I do find in many instances that when I engage in conversation with a man I find attractive, often he is not too responsive. Or, he immediately takes the opposite view to almost everything I say, and not in a playful sparring way -- more aggressive.
Hope springs eternal, but honestly I'm not too hopeful right now... | |

Posted: 12/23/2008 2:46:04 PM | To message 87: What the hell is "limited feminism"? (stereotypes are awesome, y'all!)
Anyway, intelligence is in the eye of the beholder. A fifth grader will see a high-schooler as "intelligent". Does intelligence to you mean they know quantum physics, they graduated with a 4.0 in college, and they can compute things in their head? Or is it just they have a level head, they can think critically and they know how to manage themselves and their money? It really depends on the person, and scientifically, there are different forms of intelligence. | |

Posted: 12/23/2008 4:51:27 PM | Most of the women i see that can't get the guy they want usually write it off that they 'like dumb girls'... and because they never chose you, that it's because they don't like intelligent witty women.
...pfft.. and they say men are the ones with big egos.. sheesh lol | |
