| Play dumb ladies, Don't show how smart u really are, you might get a man that way. Posted: 5/22/2007 7:30:09 AM | Ladies for those of you who claim that your intelligence is driving men away I just have to say LOL. Maybe it is not your intelligence but something else in your character makeup. It is very common for a person to focus on one thing while ignoring the obvious. That being sometimes it is you and not the other person. | |

A smart woman knows that most men love to have their ego inflated. A good way to inflate a mans ego is to let him know how brilliant he is. We don't have to play dumb, we just need to build his ego and not crush his confidence. A sure way to turn a man off is to let him know that you think you're superior to him! As woman, it's a huge turn off to me when a man let's me know how much better he is than me, or thinks he is! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out! | |

I want a woman with intelligence,I'm not looking for just a bed mate,I can pay for that if I felt I needed it that bad,(by the way it's not something I've ever done or would do)I'm looking for the complete package,and if you have that than the sexual aspect of it is the icing on the cake,and as to xodara rebuttle,don't kid yourself there are still some gentleman out there( me being one)who you don't have to manipulate them to do something for you,don't kid yourself we're not suckers maybe we want to do it...just try asking...you might be surprised.
Something to think about

That usually happens when someone mistakes arrogance and a condescending manner for intelligence.
If you are really smart, people know it without you telling them. When/If you go out of your way to tell them, you are being pompous. And there's the turn off. | |

Posted: 5/26/2007 7:01:42 AM | You Know ,I'm truly surprised how much some of you woman don't have a clue about men, I was always taught if you act like a princess you'll be treated like a princess and if you act dumb that is the way you'll be treated,come on ladies it sounds like your one step back as opposed to moving ahead.
you better make up your mind what you want from us...lol

Posted: 5/26/2007 7:21:25 AM | I believe intelligence involves more than how much education you have I believe it is based on much more than that,every individual has different levels of intelligence ,men tend to think logically, as opposed to women they are more of an emotional thinker and that's was so beautiful as a team it completes us ,come on girls when you put on that cutze smile your not fooling anyone other than yourselves,we know what your doing unfortunately some men put there integrity aside for a pretty face . don't put your integrity aside for manipulation I think your better than that. 1 + 1= 1

Posted: 5/26/2007 7:37:11 AM | | Not necessarily.....there has always been a glass ceiling for women; men have historically had the power and would like to keep it that way.....it's only human....but it looks like things may be changing for the better.....a woman president? I think that's a distinct possibility now....as for not showing how smart I really am? what a ridiculous notion!....i am what i am; I don't try to present myself as something other than what I really am...if a man can't handle it, he should go find him someone a little less bright....I would think that many men appreciate a woman who can support herself and not have to run to him for every little need......BE YOURSELF! | |

Posted: 5/26/2007 7:45:25 AM | Way to go Jamieberry, I totally agree with you ...too bad more woman and men never thought that way, especially if you end up in a relationship with that person does that mean that's the role your going to continue to play... I think not,you want someone to love you for who you really are not what your pretending to be.
Good Post

Posted: 5/26/2007 8:00:01 AM | What seems to be the problem with this picture is , in the past men expected woman to walk behind them,in todays society woman seem to think they need to run ahead,slow down ladies I just want a woman by my side not to be superior or inferior...but just equal,isn't that what it's really all about...let's quit playing games.

Doesn't sound like a very good basis for an honest, open relationship to me. Get with the times, guy, we are educated, and smart, and self-suffient. And if you could get your ego out of the way for a second, you would see that we do need men, We need them to be understanding, supportive, and there when we need them emotionally!!!!!!! We need a partner, not a boss. Unlike the past, most of us have one already!! | |

Posted: 5/27/2007 10:59:52 PM | hmmmmmmmm..........the reason we don't make more money, have better positions at work or run the businesses (at least not on paper) is because we are very nearly still in the dark ages. It's all rhetoric and we all know it. Equality is a figure of speech. We recite the methodologies of the day "women are equal, foreigners are good for the economy"......but HOW MANY OF US actually live this in the privacy of our own thoughts? It is unethical (of course) to remind anyone of this, but the old saying "Behind every good man is a good woman" is still true. It's kind of like saying racism is wrong. It is....ethically and morally wrong......but how many of us black, white, red, indifferent have our own quietly held biases? C'mon, be honest..........everyone has one and if they tell you they don't, then they are being socially acceptable. I am of a very mixed heritage and even I have my little bigotries. Key to overcoming them is accepting them and investigating why they exist. The fact that there are still calendars out there in workplaces where women aren't typically expected with swimsuit clad (if you're lucky!) unrealistic interpretations of ideal feminine sexual beauty, goes to show you how very close to 1930 we actually still are..........in fact, with prohibition in the 30's, we're probably a little behind. Just don't call me dollface... | |

Never disguise who you are, how dumb you are or how smart you are. It's a game you will lose......it's difficult to play at being someone you're not for long periods of time. I've downplayed my IQ.......which is higher than 110, thank you very much.......and I find it makes me feel resentful of the fellow. I start making sarcastic comments which are way over his head and then feel guilty for taking advantage of him. Typically womanish, huh? The fact is, if you're smart, you will attract (eventually) someone who "gets" you, someone who is equal to you, someone who will stimulate your imagination and stir you to greater heights.......and I'm not talking just sexually.....sheesh! Hold out for the right one, if he is intimidated by your brain, that will not get to be less of a problem unless you read up on self-lobotomy. I would also like to say that I agree with a comment made by someone else on this thread, it's not that women are smarter than men or men are smarter than women. There are many different types of intelligence. I know I'm pretty smart, but I couldn't assemble a car engine, so does that make me dumb in comparison to my mechanic? HECK no......just smart in other ways. The trick is, to find someone who balances what you're dumb with.....that way you'll form a perfect unit. You help each other.......that's why they call it "your other half." It's not the same half twice, it's both sides of the sphere. | |

No one, and I mean no one, Gets me. I am an overload to ones system. I would love greater heights, who but me can do that?
Equal to me? Ha ha ha, good one!
