Posted: 6/23/2006 12:11:40 AM | I wonder the same thing about FL women. IMHO anyone that believes in the left/right democrat/republican paradym that was created for our consumpion is not paying attention to what is really going on.
I have stated this before: but as a generalization I find that the more degrees and years of college a person has the less intelligent they are. Sure they are experts on one thing perhaps. But as far as seeing the big picture? No way!
Let the flame wars begin!

Posted: 6/23/2006 6:40:18 AM | | Men dont care if your smart or not......all men are pigs..........they all want one thing and one thing only and we know what that is........I wonder if there are any men at all that care what a woman wants or cares what they are actually thinking........I am personally tired of being crapped on............ | |

Posted: 6/23/2006 6:46:24 AM | Welll, I may be the embodiment of your point since I have a highschool diploma and no college degree of any kind, but I really fail to see what the relation to this thread the whole "democrat/republican bi- partisanship, (if that's what you were referring to Woo Hoo!!) paradym created for our consumption," (and I'm paraphrasing there LOL), created I suspect by both the media and both popular political parties had ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CURRENT THREAD!??
Oh wait everything is relative right ??? Please put down that beer and grow up you've been out of college for several years now and your dorm buddies I suspect have all gone their seperate ways and gone foward with their lives!! "Let the flame wars begin." sheesh LOL
I think the big picture here is you have A.D.D. read the original post again Mr. Master's Degree. | |

Posted: 6/23/2006 7:04:12 AM | | When I read the first line of your reply post I thought oh here we go we're about to be enlightened. Now though I see that YOU have totally missed the point. "Human relationships are generally not like magnetism. People seek those that are similar to them." Yes you're right people are usually naturally predetermined to seek those of similar interests and personality make up. THAT'S WHERE REFERENCE TO MAGNETISM COMES INTO PLAY...you follow? As far as living near Florida Institute of Technology or NASA that doesn't exactly make you an automatic candidate for MENSA. Nor does it at all mean that people should expect rocket scientists to be indigenous to that area. I had no expectations of such since I have been in that area once or twice and IT IS exactly as you described. Give the rest of the state some credit though I live down here in South Florida and because of gas prices I won't be driving around aimlessly anytime soon. I also don't smoke weed anymore. I'm a grown man. Unlike Mr. Rasta man a few posts back who can't seem to make up his mind about the games people play or even what kind of women he's really meeting. He probably can't make up his mind about much while worshipping his ganga god. Oh I can sit around and complain about the vapid void that surrounds me while I look alternative terms up in my pocket collegiate thesaurus to impress everyone too. I guess I just would rahter not. Have a nice day. Oh and don't go crazy with the thesaurus on the response to this guy. We can tell you're smart. LOL | |

Posted: 6/23/2006 7:23:28 AM | I personally love smart women. However smart comes in many different facets. Over opinionated can make smart, get pretty dense, quickly. I have been reading this thread and will make a few observations. How you portray your smartness may be what is doing you in. Your obvious poilitical beliefs are perfectly acceptable for you, but engaging the opposing view by calling Bush a moron (or whatever the term(s) used) and defiling his followers with name calling (Stepford Sheep), will generally set the tone about the character of the accuser, rather than the merit of the debate. I have dated some very smart women, and the age has been from as surprising as mid 20s. In fact it is pretty much one of the requirements for me to make it to date 3 or 4.
Personally what I don't want, is to feel like I am negotiating a contract to date someone. Sometimes men just want someone that will be nice to talk to, carry on a conversation, find common ground to relate to and have an easy non confrontational date or 2 or 7. We all get incredibly busy with our lives, just making regular life happening, the last thing we want is to make dating a "job". If I have to pick my words too carefully because it causes a heated debate, that starts making a 26 year old with big boobs and no brains a pretty good alternative for that particular evening.
A Masters Degree does nothing to assure smartness. It just ensures scholastic achievement. I regularly eat Master's Degreed genuises (in thier minds) for lunch in the real world.
So I guess it comes down to how one defines what "smart" means to them. | |

Posted: 6/23/2006 8:03:35 AM | Hey, I refuse to date a woman that is not smart. The more education ad natural intelligence the lady has, the better she is to talk to, be with, and enjoy things with. Come out with the Latin name for a flower, or pick up a new skill in minutes or days, and you definitely have my attention.
My problem is meeting women that have no self-discipline. They’re smart, but flighty. Rash, quick to make judgments based on little or no evidence, stubborn to the point that even when shown proof they stick to their false assumptions... these may be "typical female traits" but they are also relationship killers.
Opinions are wonderful! How else can someone get to know anyone else unless it is through their opinions?! I seem to meet too many that refuse to tell me what they think, then blame me afterwards for not knowing what they were thinking. Men and women are different, our brains are wired differently, the only way we can communicate is through words... when they stop, it is only one more step before the long fall to the bottom of the relationship.
Most of the women I have met in Florida (I did not say Ladies), have been after one of the big three... money, someone that will make them more money, and someone to control while they make them money. Sorry, would rather be single.
As for being turned off... lol, a smart lady is a huge turn on to me. | |

Actually I was a candidate for MENSA. But I failed the athletic requirement for entry.

Indeed, I am blessed with a bountiful knowledge that elevates me above the unruly throng of troglodytes among which I must endure habitation.
I may be smart, but my butt is a genius. | |

Posted: 6/27/2006 10:09:44 AM | They'd rather have an idiot who doesn't pose a threat to their own intellegence. I've dated guys who when we broke up started a girl who wasn't all there.
Not that I'm the smartest woman around, but I enjoy talking about worldly events, politics and other things that some women don't keep up with. | |

Posted: 6/27/2006 11:31:03 AM | I would like to reply with this. Your question is one I have faced as well, and have come to this conclusion. Many of the good ones are taken. It is a simplistic reply but I would say there is truth to the statement. Intellectual guys face the same challenges that you bring up. Coming from Texas myself I have seen a difference as well. Regardless, many of the more clever of the species have been snapped up and are hopefully propagating more clever people.
I figure one of our best hope is that a shallow thoughtless spouse loses his thoughtful other and one could be lucky enough to find that person. It is highly probable that two people that are not equally cerebrally yolked would end in a split up.
I am no rocket scientist (although physics intrigues me) but I would be very content to have somebody that is tuned into reality and able to see the fun and heights an awareness like that can carry a couple to.

Posted: 6/28/2006 7:30:09 AM | | I'de seriously like to know where all the intelligent WOMEN are, because this is really getting frustrating for me and I don't want to lower my standards or dumb myself down just to be with somebody who is just physically attractive. For all the reasons I love south florida, the people's minds are not one of them :-/ | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 8:37:16 AM | | I am fixing to lose my "man-card" over this post. Lets face it, the gentlemen who are trying to reason and justify themselves are quite comical. I can't speak for all men but, to be honest here (wow what a concept) the reason most men don't like smart women is simple...they are afraid they will see through their bs. Myself included. LOL. I love intelligent women, nothing makes me more nervouse than going to the opera or musem with a dumb woman. However, on the other hand, the smart sophisticated women would never get on the back of my bike. So we compromise. Now, if you are a lady who has an above average IQ, hot and don't mind throwing on some leather and cutting out for a couple hour ride, I would have found my match. | |

Where are all the smart men in Florida???
[...]
Is it just my limited experience thus far, or are men just turned off by an intellectual woman?? Well, I'm an engineer with a passion for the sciences in general (I suspect that qualifies me as "smart"), and I find intelligence in a partner a tremendous source of appeal.... so I think this has just been your experience. | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 10:54:44 AM | I can say this from experience.... There are a lot of stupid people in South Florida. Im from Fort Lauderdale and I can tell you that if you want to find intellegent people you have to know where to look. Texasspamc I'd suggest that you try going to the Millenium ballroom on a thurday night. They have swing dancing every week there and the people are fun, socially perceptive and *gasp* inteligent!!
Take 5-95 to I-95 South.Get off at Hallandale Beach Blvd., go East on Hallandale past US1.
Millenium is on the right hand side right after the plaza where the Publix supermarket is located.
They are a fun crowd and the guys are engineers, architects and they can all hold a great conversation.

| Why don't men like smart women?
Posted: 6/28/2006 11:47:03 AM | I have to agree with you kevin been there and done the Millenium. But before I left Florida I didn't know of the millenium. I was a bit younger when I left. I found that to find a woman that was a challenge to me mentally was quite hard when I was living in florida. I have never been attracted to a bimbo just because of looks. Just not sexy to me by any means. As I had posted before in another post I had to leave Florida to find a florida woman to keep my attention. She was more than apt in the mental power to keep me puzzled and wondering but the mentally sexiness in the woman was more than fulfilling.
I wanted to reply to another post as well and its not to be rude by any means towards her or any woman that thinks this way. If I come across this way please forgive me ok.
Tallkool1 I just wanted to reply to your post if I may. I understand from your post that you have been hurt and that has caused troubles in the past. I just wanted to say that not all of us guys are the same. I don't date a woman just for what I can get. If I want sex hell theres to many out there passing it around easy enough. when I break down and ask a woman out I usually am attracted to the woman not only physically but mentally. as far as the sex goes hell that can be gotten when the need arrises if it is to a point that it can't be dealt with mentally. but my point is; not all of us guys are after just one thing from a woman. I want a woman that can stimulate me physically and mentally and at the same time feel the inner feelings that I may be giving out to her as I hope would be returned. I want her to know that I don't need her to survive but in turn I want her to know that I would not be anything at all with out her if I have given her my total love. I give the best of me and the most tenderpart of my being if she has my love and I try to give the same to any date I partake in. I will stand up for her and beside her which ever the case. my profile tells of some of my feelings and emotions and I hope that the one I find will feel the same. see to me devotion is the main part of my being and I am loyal no matter what the situation even tho it may appear otherwise from anothers eyes. I am a giver and not a taker and that has been my downfall in the past. for that reason I take and find myself very selective in any date or relationship I am going to happen into. I don't take and set up a list of do's and don'ts but I watch closely for if I am not careful I will become used before I realize it but when I have I walk. see that being hurt and belittled does not happen just in one gender. we could say that all women are users in one way or the other but thats not fair to all women. I have been going on to long so I am going to stop but if I sounded like I was coming down on you or any woman it is not meant that way. if I did I am sorry

Oh forgot to say if a man only looks for the bimbo kind of woman he is not so smart and for that reason he deserves a bimbo to drape on his arm. | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 6:26:26 PM | I myself weigh intellect over physical beauty. It's not that I take looks or physical attraction lightly, but it fades long before the mind does, and having someone you can communicate with on many levels means a lot to me.
When the 2 are combined though, be still my heart! | |
