Are Guys Threatened By Smart, Intelligent Girls?

<p>Well I personally don't care about intelligence at all. I just like 'em 4'9" with a fat ass.</p>

<p>I don't think guys are looking for a "dumb" girl, but rather one with a sweet, innocent demeanor that is not as readilly apparent in more overtly intellectual girls.</p>

<p>And I don't think guys feel threated by smart girls (I sure don't), but they don't feel totally at ease around them, either. I have found that it is harder to be comfortable around a girl that wants to talk about Hegel right off the bat. My ideal would be a girl that likes to talk about her family and her farm back in Texas...... then, if she wants to talk about Hegel and genuinely is interested in him, so much the better.</p>

<p>I guess my point is that some guys (myself included) want to find somebody that they can connect with intellectually, but intellect is rarely the sole basis for attraction. It is just icing on the cake, so to speak.</p>

<p>lmaonade. </p>

<p>oh, thank you. seriously. </p>

<p>amazing.</p>

<p>I am currently dating a girl who ... one may say has a sort of ... superiority complex... it makes a lot of things a lot more difficult. For example, once we went stargazing, and I attempted to use some of my random space knowledge to point off some stuff to which she was very quick to reply "Yeah, I knew that, I learned that in 2nd grade." ... at which point I was like ... you did not learn things like Lagrange Points and String Theory in second grade. Or if she did I'm just dating an exceptionally smart girl. Of course, either way, she's very fun and I'd prefer girls to be smarter than dumber.</p>

<p>So, if guys are a little threatened by a "smart/intelligent" girl, how do they feel about a highly intelligent, talented, overly ambitious, gorgeous one?</p>

<p>No such thing exists. I think we all know that by now. ;)</p>

<p>Ha Ha your funny. I gave birth to one 18 years ago.</p>

<p>Oh, yes, I felt very threatened by them; given the conditions of the high school I went to, the smart girls were probably carrying concealed firearms.</p>

<p>i find intelligence in a girl to be a huge turn on...</p>

<p>Agreed Scom. Huuuuuuuge turn on.</p>

<p>I am definitely more likely to be attracted to a girl if she is intelligent, as long as she doesn't have a an IQ of 150 something. Intelligence is a turn-on, but genius is threatening.</p>

<p>yeah, there's a difference between an intelligent girl...and an intelligent girl who's arrogant about it...</p>

<p>i consider myself to be fairly bright/knowledgeable... but remain modest about my intelligence level when conversing with others...</p>

<p>when i was referring to intelligent girls and how they can be a huge turn on... i was saying this with at least some modesty in mind...</p>

<p>confident girls are hot...arrogant ones are not...</p>

<p>"Smart, intelligent girls"</p>

<p>...what?</p>

<p>"Smart" and "intelligent" are synonyms. You don't have to use them both... that would be like saying "Fat, overweight girls".</p>

<p>I dont really care about the intelligence of the girl as long as she doesnt have the IQ of a sack of bricks... if shes smart and good looking of course its a plus as long as she's not arrogant about it... eventhough being dumb can keep you out, intelligence usually wont get you in.</p>

<p>okay okay I know I know, I realized that after I posted it knowing some snippy CCer would point that out! Hey, at least I won the bet with my friend and now I get 20 bucks! Thanks man</p>

<p>I'd probably cower in fear. :eek:</p>

<p>it's very sexy to have sex with a smart girl, often she has more passion.at least from my expierence.</p>

<p>oooh mr. experienced.</p>

<p>lol. </p>

<p>Yeah, he's allegedly "tall and blonde" and was "Mr. Amsterdam".</p>

<p>Who wouldn't be all over that? European male beauty pagaents are the epitome of teh hawt.</p>

<p>not at all, as long as she cooks and cleans :)</p>

<p>.. you guys do realize this is cc? lol.</p>
