Posted: 10/3/2005 12:03:24 PM | I think that's where are opinions differ alittle. I think you probably would have learned much if not all of what has refined your base thru life's experiences, as life itself is one.
The knowledge you gained thru that education isn't to be scoffed at of course, but I don't believe I received any greater abilities thru higher education, simply knowledge and a degree to prove worth to employers. Everyone's different as you stated though. | |

Posted: 10/3/2005 12:08:35 PM | | I'm not intimidated by women, by any means. Why should I be? Intelligence is a great attribute. The only troubling situation I could see is, if a person spent so much time in a book, that they have no idea how to interact with people face to face, or just can't handle some of the struggles and disappointments in real life. This might not happen too often, but it's out there. Stay sharp. | |

Bah, you seem like quite a catch to me. Doubt your a sissy.
As for the 6'4 Linebacker comment, only if she snorts when she laughs as well. | |

Intelligence is soooo pleasantly challenging, inspirational and stimulating. Why to view it as intimidating at all?!
bzzzzzzzz | |

Posted: 10/4/2005 8:12:25 PM | | Intelligence is stimulating to be sure. Just where in a relationship is the test given to see who should be intimidated? If you can communicate about issues that matter and make your point understood to your partner it is a beautiful thing. We men always wonder if "she" is too good looking, smart, athletic, charming, or possesses too magnetic a personality. If she calls or comes home everynight, then who cares? Let her be 10 times more intelligent than me, I will learn something new everyday. Embrace those things that make you different and smile, she can finish the crossword puzzle and you can water the lawn..........that's the green stuff outside the front door right? | |

I think it's a valid question.
I find that a lot of men are intimidated by me.
As time goes by and they find out my background and how many years I went uni, they get all weird, started to be less open etc.
(keep in mind a said a lot of men, not all)
In a few I noticed they became very self conscious and would start to make remarks to the effect of "you think I'm stupid", became very defensive and acted like they had to prove something to me. And when they find out how many powertools I have they go WHOA lmao
ughhh
(for the record, I don't think I'm an Einstein)
hey blu - i'm right there with you. I've found, over the years, that many men SAY they want an intelligent woman, but when the chips are down, he still expects you to allow him to lead in all decisions, including decisions about your own life.
as blu said - not all...but a lot.

Posted: 10/5/2005 5:16:41 AM | | Many people dont value knowledge. Hence it holds no interest for them. Philomaths want to explore that facet of the human condition. Perhaps not intimidated, just not interested. | |

okay so intelligence isn't intimidating but is success intimidating?
Not to me it isn't. In fact, it's a characteristic I seek when dating. | |

Am I the only one to find them intimidating?
Not at all. They can be intimidating because they are undeniably our equals, and in most cases our superiors. LOL..
I crave intelligence. A strong willed, intelligent woman is a rare and curious creature. A wonderful partner for those that aren't afraid of such things. It's like having a best friend and a **** buddy all in one.
My two best friends are married to such creatures. The level of trust is astounding, and completely refreshing. They aren't merely friends and lovers, but they are confidants of the highest order.
The best part is that most of them are sci fi geeks too. What a wonderful world it can be. :) | |
