Posted: 12/3/2007 8:02:36 PM | Why is it that women assume men are "scared" of everything?
Why do women put down men all the time and blame men for their own failings? | |

Yeah, and they have small penises too and wet the bed. Just cause they won't go out with you. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 11:33:08 AM | Because deep inside, a lot of men still want their woman barefoot and cooking in the kitchen. They need to feel superior and bring home the majority of the "bacon".
These men are insecure and afraid, that their woman will walk out on them one day, because she doesn't depend on him and doesn't need to put up with his issues.
These men need to feel needed and need to protect their family, not the other way around.
It's just basic human nature developed over thousands of years. Just recently the roles have changed a bit, and the genders haven't adjusted yet. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 12:36:44 PM | Im certainly not afraid of smart women. LOVE them.
OTOH, I am petrified of women who think that their knowing one ounce more about one topic than the average guy knows about that topic constitutes an arguement for being smart. ..... especially when they are wrong. /sigh
OP, You should only run equal PSI in all four if you are driving an AWD vehicle or you are likely to switch your vehicle into 4WD for some reason . Lowering the front tire pressure to match the back is only neccessary if you need excellent traction in the mud or snow, or if you are competitive rock climbing. If you are running a 4WD with the front axel disengaged or 'not locked in' to commute down the highway, like 98% of all 4WDs in existence, having 34 psi in your front tires will likely cause the tire to 'roll under' and separate from the rim if you need to make an emergency manuver at 60-80 MPH. Having a blow out on a front tire during heavey steering in an SUV at 60-80 MPH will usually cause its high inertia to overtake its high center of gravity, resulting in a rollover.
And that's .... well.....not so smart.
The guy reffered to in your original post probably didnt bother to explain this at the time, just like I would not bother to explain it to someone who was obviously, by self declaration, smarter than me. Why would I need to? | |

It may be a simple, silent, eye-brow raised glance in your direction, but you know that we know, that you know that we know when you are simply full of crap. | |

It's fashionable these days for girls to think of themselves as 'smart'. Guys hate women's stupid obsession with whatever silly fashion trend du jour comes along. Ergo, men avoid women who call themselves 'smart' as if they had the plague, which they do. Everyone knows fashion is for morons.

Posted: 5/14/2008 1:29:58 PM | Scared? Lol. It's not intelligence that scares anyone, it's attitude. Someone who is smart can avoid being manipulated by those insecure, abusive types who like to manipulate. Their default state is scared and their controlling, bullying behaviour is an expression of and mask for this vulnerable state. When they can't manipulate someone, the fear does become more obvious. But for normal types who are not cowardly manipulators, they've no reason to fear intelligence, per se, just how people may use it on them.
Those who believe themselves to be superior in intellect and are always right and are always belittling other people and dismissing their thoughts or yammering on about how an education makes one person better than another are certainly repellent, and perhaps even scary, but it's not to do with how much intelligence they have, but rather, how little. | |

I do agree to an extent. I value intelligence as much as the next guy, but I'd hate to sit through a date who rambles on endlessly about the upcoming Presidential election or Global Warming. A great way to kill a date fast,IMO. | |

...Everyone knows fashion is for morons.
The same thing goes for those guys who talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, about sports ALL day!
I mean, is there anything in your OWN day/week/past that you want to share?
Do ya EVER have an independent thought????
Watching an occasional game and reveling in the details with your friends is cool, but can there be a shelf-life on the game if you're not actually in it?
How about some other kinds of recreational activity instead of watching three games at the same time on a daily basis... Get a life already!
...imho | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 3:18:10 PM | Oh, great. Another "people don't like me because I'm too good" thread. This one was dead for months. Here we go again.
Being smart is good.
Acting like you're smart or proving that you're smart isn't good. In fact, it's not smart.
Being strong is good.
Acting like you're strong or proving that you're strong isn't good. In fact, it's weak.
Being independent is good...
The list goes on. | |

Holy smokes, this presumptive attitude on the part of "these women" gets really, really tiring. No matter how much "these men" assure "these women" otherwise, "these women" pull out the same old warhorse treasure trove of shaming tactics to justify "their" position(s), whatever it might be.
I have a friend, a Brazilian woman, who has mutliple Ph.D.s, and who never pulls out the "are you afraid of me because I have more degrees than you" club. When you examine the pervasive attitude conveyed by the quote, above, "these men" become suspicious of the intent of the message and, moreover, what life might be like with a woman who maintains superiority over a man at apparently all costs. Image only goes so far, and if you become obnoxious while marketing the image, you lose any advantage or desirability. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 4:29:51 PM | i have encountered so few truly smart women that this is a non-issue.
there are, however, many women who think they are smart and yet when it comes to interpersonal communication they fail miserably by invoking feminist attitudes along with the usual "i am woman, I say one thing and mean another". Sorry If I put it so plainly as it's not always so black and white.
I see only a few percent of men as being smart (the ability to think, in coming up with a solution from rudimentary concepts...being logical and reasonable without letting the ego take over) and much less women, and not because women can't as it might be how they are groomed when kids. College graduates don't impress me and this is not to be taken as the usual gripe to say that education imparts little or nothing. I see so little independent thinking as so much of how people think is confined to societal constraints with little creativity.
If you are a woman and think you are smart, you are welcome to contact me. I won't ridicule or embarass, I'd actually like to see why the claims are what they are. I won't write back either...it'd be for my awareness. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 4:54:32 PM | Seriously guys, why are the vast majority of guys seeking a girl who is smart, worldly, etc. scared of us girls that are smarter than a lamp post?
I have gone on a date where the guy was completely chivalrous, but when it came down to stereotype "guy-stuff" like basic car maintenance, it completely freaked him out that I knew about KnN air filters, the basic difference between 10W30 and 5W30 oil, and that the psi for my tires is 34psi on all four of them, because I have 4WD. I know I bruised his ego when I told him that, as he thought my tires should be fuller in the front than in the back.
I have also gone on dates where I could talk intelligently about my political views, world events, etc. but the second the conversation turns to anything that has been traditionally a "male" topic, and can converse about it, they freak out, and I never hear from them again?? I don't pretend to be all knowing, and I certainly ask questions when I don't know or understand something, but wtf?
For those of you who are curious as to how I know about this stuff, is that I have a lot of brothers who didn't want me scared on the side of the road freaking out over what to do if my (now old and long dead) car ever broke down. I grew up with a ton of guys who lived, ate, and breathed cars, and my girlfriends dad's who were mostly strong believers that girls should know how to take care of themselves so we never had to wholly depend on someone else to get us out of trouble. And my daddy who was a firm believer that if a girl could own her own car, she should bloody well be able to look after it.
I have been a crew captain for a good friend of mine when he was racing his 1970 LeMans, and currently am only one of 10 seniority girls in my workplace of about 118 unionized employees.
Enough of my rant. Thoughts?
Blah blah blah, look at me, I'm miss independent. Same ol' crap on plentyoffish; everyone here who's not a self-proclaimed "smart woman who's not getting dates because of it" knows that it's all a cover for the REAL reason that guys don't come running to you - you know, the one that you can't accept.
Guys aren't scared of smart girls. They just aren't interested in you. | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 1:04:23 AM | I read about half of your post...Your first sentence makes little sense - "Seriously guys, why are the vast majority of guys seeking a girl who is smart, worldly, etc. scared of us girls that are smarter than a lamp post?"
Your improper word conjugation and your willingness to equate intelligence with automotive know-how makes me really doubt that this post is anything but an attempt to grab attention. Your title should more accurately read "Why are guys scared of girls that have general automotive knowledge". | |

I was a wedding coordinator for several years. I can talk about everything from an Empire waist line to imported Alanson Lace. That does not make me smart or gay. Just a little less ignorant. | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 12:21:09 PM | Smart is such a ridiculous concept. Knowing cars doesn't make you smart. Neither does knowing all about some subject... Really for the most part the "why don't guys/girls like X" threads boil down to - why do they not like me?
Clearly one of these questions is not like the other :) | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 12:51:28 PM | -Because they might figure out how to get out of the basement and call the cops to claim something crazy like "imprisonment".
-They might find out about contraception.
-They might buy some shoes.
Now shut up, fix my dinner, and get me a beer!
This is the the most asinine thread ever. I guess I'm just one of "those guys". | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 1:00:28 PM | The question shows that the person who posted it, is assuming that guys are scared of smart girls. What if the girls that think they are smart, actually were not. Then under this premis, guys would be scared of dumb girls. Also, educated/degreed does not equal smart or intelligent. In a nutshell, intelligence is to find and to keep the man you want. Don't blame it on him when he rejects you.  | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 1:06:06 PM | You hit the nail on the head. Some people (men or women) make a licence to superiority out of their degrees or job positions. Then they wonder that people do not like to associate with them, whatever the gender or sexual orientation. To the original poster: GET OF YOUR HIGH HORSE. Try to be more humble, yes, explore some spirituality, yes Jesus is good that way. And when you actually will realize that you are not as smart as you thought, you may be surprised how people (and men) around you change their attitude towards you. Until then, it will be a lonely trip, when you are perfect in every way :-). Try to show the "I love you and respect you" side of you when you care for somebody, and do not wait for them to acknowledge your superiority first  | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 2:18:00 PM | Smart is a subjective term.
I had an ex tell me that I was intellectually intimidating recently. If how I think puts a man off of me, then that's how it is.
Personally, I find someone who's smarter than me enthralling. | |
