"If so why do you think it is? " Yes and some women find intelligent women intimidating too. Women aren't supposed to be funny or intelligent it goes against nature and is an abomination . As a guy said to me (in jest i hasten to add) in the forums recently "haven't you got a blouse to iron?" It is very much a self esteem thing I think. | |||

"Simple answer is no, intelligence is very sexy but then it depends on how this comes across. Intelligence can sometime be accompanied by aloofness and rudeness in both males and females and that is a turnoff. " It's nice if you can find someone who you can hold a proper conversation with. Someone who has their own thoughts and ideas and can articulate them. That's very attractive to me. Still needs to be down to earth with it though. | |||

"I'm not sure it's intelligence per se, but I think some men are intimidated by confident women who aren't afraid to argue, are independent and have strong _iews about things. Note 'some' men. Others find it a big turn on. " Very true. I find it very refreshing to find a woman like this. It's a fine line though between being like this and just being an arsehole. This goes for both men and women of course. | |||

"There are definitely some men who are intimidated by intelligent women, but that is their problem not mine. I am not prepared to act the idiot to make any man more comfortable with me, if he can't handle the fact that I have a brain in my head and that I'm more than happy to use it, then he can jog on " Although I find women to be more so in all honesty | |||

"Here's a simple one - if a woman wasn't intelligent, and was stupid/slow/dumb...and yet this is the only kind of woman a guy can pull, what does that say about him?" That he rates people on more than their intellect? No arguing that Mengele was intelligent but I doubt most would excuse his behaviour because he was intelligent. | |||

"Intellect and confidence are sexy. The men who find it intimidating probably have a lower IQ than they admit to. IQ is no measure of intelligence and was never meant to be. Probably a whole different thread though!" You're correct. I used a bad example, but get what I mean. Some guys like to think they're intelligent and that their intellect is far superior to any woman's. These guys generally tend to be the dumbest people you'll ever meet. They lack common sense and basic, real world, problem solving skills. They could, however, tell you how hedge funds work... | |||

"I was on a rare night out last night with work. One guy was talking to me and proceeded to tell me that, when ever he saw me at work he always thought I was scary Apologies for not answering the intelligent part. " I get told this all the time, I get told I look unaprochable in every day life, in club's etc I have no idea why because I'm not a horrible person and I'll talk to anyway it must be a subconscious aura I give off | |||

"If so why do you think it is? " I kid you not; this is true; not much to do with intelligence but to do with that I am not prepared to massage some man's ego when he is talking complete BS Met a guy and somehow or the other the conversation turned to aircrafts. Him being a guy thought that I wouldn't have a bloody clue. He started talking about the SR-71 As children, my brother had a model of the SR-71 and which I loved to play with. It came with a little factsheet which I had memorised. I used to fantasise about flying this aircraft So, when this guy told me that it was powered by twin Rolls Royce turbines (an attempt to show-off British ingenuity) you can imagine how I pounced on him Later, half-way through sex, he rolled off and said that he could not continue with someone who he did not find attractive Fragile egos | |||

" How do you quantify intelligence? Academically or emotionally or...?" I think that this is very true as well. I have high academic intelligence and low emotional intelligence. I have one partner the same as me and one partner the other way around (although, he's also bright academically as well, just not quite *as* bright). Both take work in their own ways. | |||

"My dad used to tell me I was far to smart to ever have and hold a man in my life... So far he has been right.. ALthough I think he failed to add that its because I am a bratty Bitch but I do really remember my dad saying that and even suggesting that I dumbed down for men. " ...Friends used to tell me this but it's bollocks, excuse my French. Nobody has to dumb down for anyone. If man wants a woman and vice versa - it just happens, because there's enough affection to make compromises. What's for you, won't go by you | |||
