| Are women intimidated by men that are more intelligent then them
Posted: 1/26/2005 11:38:18 PM | I can be intimidated at times if the man is more worldly and in my face about it.
Otherwise, I'm not because regardless of how much they know about any given subject, there is AT LEAST ONE they don't know much about..
I dated a man that was extremely smart, but common sense was out the window! I did enjoy talks and the like and I was intrigued. He never made me feel as though I SHOULD feel intimidated by his intellience, that's the difference. You all make excellent points on this subject!! m2s | |

Posted: 1/26/2005 11:40:45 PM | Hmm yes women seem to fear men, when the man is clearly more intelligent then themself. Girls like to have a man they think they can control. So my little tip of advice, avoid talking on confrontational subject lines. Remember to throw out some complements, that should feed the inner beast of the female. | |

Posted: 1/27/2005 12:13:14 AM | (Not saying that this is my opinion, just that the topic brought this song to mind - make what you wish out of it)
"Find Her Finer" - Frank Zappa
Find her finer, sneak up behind her,
Unwrap like a mummy ’til you finally unwind her.
Find her, blind her, see who designed her,
Act like a dummy ’til you finally grind her.
If you should see a girl on the street,
Now maybe you might think she is sweet,
But if you wanna tickle her treat,
Now really what should you do?
Don’t never let her know you are smart.
The universe is no place to start.
You gotta play it straight from the heart,
She gwine renunciate you.
That’s why you gotta
Find her finer, sneak up behind her,
Unwrap like a mummy ’til you finally unwind her.
Find her, blind her, see who designed her,
Act like a dummy ’til you finally grind her.
Now maybe you might think this is crude,
And maybe you might think I am rude,
And maybe this approach I have spewed
Is not the one for you.
But believe me later on you’ll find,
As you impress her with your mind,
That you will just be left behind,
For a wiser fool.
So you might as well
Find her finer, sneak up behind her,
Unwrap like a mummy ’til you finally unwind her.
Find her, blind her, see who designed her,
Act like a dummy ’til you finally grind her. | |

Posted: 1/27/2005 2:06:18 AM | Well in order for me to have known this, I would have to probably find and then follow a man more intelligent then the woman I am with... that could take some time, and to be honest, I really dont have that kind of time. So my answer would be....
dunno.... | |

Posted: 1/27/2005 4:35:24 AM | I agree with Frank, as usual. His practical advice correlates with experience. There is no escaping the need of ego to measure up anytime it sees a yardstick of any kind, for that is what it lives for. We evaluate and then become more than, less than or equal to. Any of the scalar measures will assort us into order from least to most. Our society has been formed this way through schooling and other similarly competitive traditions. Humor is the common ground in all things, bringing life back to the playground where it belongs. It is pointless to complain about being set apart for any reason. It only makes things worse to emphasize differences. Frank got laid plenty so I will follow his advice and look forward to the day when love can again be a penguin in bondage, flapping its mighty wings, over there on the wet side of the bed.

Posted: 1/27/2005 5:50:23 AM | | What I find most interesting is that everybody talks like they know me and that I am an ego-maniac. The only thing that I have stated was that I could do anything, I never said that I know everything or that I am the smartest. But I am capable of learning anything. | |

Posted: 1/27/2005 6:22:46 AM | Wasn't your original question about women needing to be secretly in control? The topic heading implies intelligence threatens that control. I'm not sure how I can answer that without changing the focus to what concerns me instead.
Women wanting to be secretly in control. Hmmm. Is that a likely reason they would resent your assertion that you were more intelligent? It is possible. It may be more likely that your desire to assert your intelligence is from feeling unable to control their perception of you in the relationship. I would have to know more details to misunderstand the situation further.
People in general are greatly intimidated by the suggestion that by applying themselves they can learn and do anything. It removes the barriers of their comfort zone and leaves them out among the possibilities. That fear is behind the need to order the universe no matter what absurd belief it takes. It is the fear of being outcast and vulnerable, for what happens to you then. If you change your abilities you outgrow those of your associates who are invested in their inabilities. If you prove they could do the same, you are Prometheus and your liver might just as well be sacrificed to booze as eagles.
I almost found out once that my ex thought she was secretly in control, but she quickly recovered from the momentary lapse and revised what she had really meant to say. That cat slipped out of the bag unremarked, for the best of all involved.
Some women are intimidated by a man whom they consider to be more intelligent than themselves. It is not a general tendency of women to feel that way. It is perhaps more a tendency for men who think they are intelligent to supsect women of being intimidated by them. Either way, the true measure is whether it makes sex more likely or not.
It sounds like the consensus is that this argument leads away from the bedroom.
Nobody will stop you from doing anything unless you ask them for permission or to cheer you on, and then they will tell you you can't do it, just on principle. Be all that you can be, but let the applause come later. | |
