<p>i think that a lot of guys feel inferior to smart women.but the few guys who love smart women, rule in my book.</p>
<p>^^ that was one of my general perceptions about guys. <em>nod head in agreement</em>. unless, of course, he's smart as well.</p>
<p>I agree with that-I think smarter guys tend to fall all over brilliant women, and more jocky, machismistic (is that a word) guys tend to shy away from girls who can make cultural references they wouldn't even begin to understand.</p>
<p>Not saying that smarter guys can't be jocky and machismistic, nor vice versa. But that seems to be the trend.</p>
<p>any girl can be loved as long as she is not hideously ugly or unbearably fat.</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>many smart girls think guys are turned off by their intelligence... WRONG... most guys are turned off by how these girls look or act. No one likes a desperate girl or a girl who doesn't take care of herself. </p>
<p>Am I personally attracted to smart girls? I don't really care how smart the girl is, so long as I can keep a reasonable conversation with her for more than 2 minutes. I think most guys would agree that the girl shouldn't be retarded.</p>
<p>But in the end, it all comes down to physical characteristsics becuase that is what initially attracts someone. After that, the girl better have some sort of personality or semblance of intelligence or it's on to the next one.</p>
<p>Yes. Admittedly, I skipped to the last page after the first two posts, but it does seem comical to me that self-proclaimed smart girls think guys don't date them because they're smart.</p>
<p>Guys don't date girls because they're not attracted (or too shy). It is less the instance that a guy doesn't date because the girl is smart.</p>
<p>From my own experience, I was attracted to girls both smart and not so smart. The intelligence was a lot less of a determining factor compared to how I enjoyed my time around them.</p>
<p>And no girl is smarter than me.</p>
<p>^ dost i sense a lettle arrogance me man?
XD</p>
<p>no kidding on that last post! you just proved yourself to have less social intelligence than the majority of the female population....no girl would ever say something like that :o</p>
<p>How is it proof? It is not, but I guess it does make you feel better to have put the word "proved" in there because it makes you think it substantiates your claim more, no?</p>
<p>honestly substantiation never once ran through my mind...proved was simply the word that flowed with the sentence....would you prefer I say demonstrated, illustrated, painted, endeared? In a place like CC, you ought to put forth more tact than in your previous comment, and remember that sarcasm doesn't translate well, so perhaps if that was your intent, put a smilie by it or something :)</p>
<p>I think you should ask bi chicks too.</p>
<p>interesting point ^^^</p>
<p>I'm not sure if I am reiterating this stement for the 100th time because I skipped to the last page once I read the first 60 posts.</p>
<p>Anyways, 'smart' girls at my school tend to be deemed untouchable. In my class of 60 (it's a really small school), there are 3 girls (including me) that are smart. That makes my valedictorian-freakiness decrease, but not by much. We certainly are not odd looking and we all play varsity sports; you couldn't pick us out as the smart ones unless you heard us talk ;) However, we are complete Type A's and we often lead class discussions/projects/whatever. None of us have ever been asked out to anything by anyone other than complete idiots.</p>
<p>I personally think my personality intimidates the guys at school that can piece together a logical sequence of thought. Just because I say a guy's answer is wrong doesn't mean I don't like him. In fact, I would let the people I don't like follow the rabbit down the wrong hole. At the same time, I refuse to fawn over anyone and bat my eyelashes. If I am going to have a relationship with someone, I want to be a partner, not a subordinate. </p>
<p>Hopefully this situation will change as soon as we reach college.</p>
<p>Sarcasm was certainly not my intent, although I am not here to claim that there is no girl smarter than me. However, this is a fact that I tend to lean towards; I rarely ever (read: never) feel intellectually inferior to a girl.</p>
<p>ahhh i see....</p>
<p>I'll try to say this wi/out being inflammatory--sincerely, that is not my intent--I hope someday you do meet a girl who is as intelligent as you are if not more intelligent...everyone deserves to meet his/her equal/better...and perhaps you will never feel that way, depending upon how you perceive intelligence and the limits placed upon the mind...if you have no limits, you will only meet your equals</p>
<p>well it depends on the type of guy. i have guy friends who love an intelligent girl who is witty and funny and well informed about the world. i have guy friends who prefer a dumb girl who is skinny, pretty, has big boobs, and has slept with basically half the school. and then i have guy friends who really couldnt care less about her intelligence.</p>
<p>it all depends on the guy.</p>
<p>No, I do not think that's necessary. I've already stated earlier:

I do not look upon females as an inferior gender, nor do I think of them less because of it.</p>
<p>Meeting an equal or superior has no impact on my self-growth. I'm self-aware enough to improve myself on my own accord.</p>

<p>keep telling yourself that. I'm not saying personality has no importance, but the first thing any guy will notice is how a girl looks. No one wants a fat/ugly chick no matter how smart she is unless they themselves are of a similar level.</p>
<p>Let me add my own observation...</p>
<p>most guys I know or come across by chance have interests in blond girls with pink jackets and sweaters and who often laugh and just do whatever to look and act cute. Rarely any guys would go for seriously intelligent girls, with the exception if that girl has a pretty face and the guys that do are mostly smart themselves academically anyway...</p>
<p>I think that it has less to do with intelligence and more with self-confidence. I have many guy friends who randomly decide to tell me what they find attractive. It's very interesting to hear different viewpoints, but there is common theme through all of the traits I've heard. Self-confidence.</p>
<p>At my school (fairly small, class of 106 people) girls who are assertive and who stand up for themselves usually end up with the "catches", when the ditzy bimbos get the idiotic boys who have trouble stringing together a sentence. I can honestly say that while I'm not ugly by any means, I'm no bombshell either and I've had a few long term relationships, and they were both with intelligent, interesting guys that met my fairly high standards I have set for my men. :P </p>
<p>The two things that matter to the guys I talk to are that you take care in your appearance, even if it is just the smallest things, and having faith in yourself.</p>
