Well you sounded like you knew something about it in your earlier post, least to me.

when 'intelligence' means
I know it all, you know nothing slug, and
'confidence' says you are nothing, I am everything . . .
then it really has nada to do with gender.
Some people simply need to be 'feared'/left alone to love themselves. After all we humans could never be good enough any way!

On the other hand,
when intelligence comes across as
'let's share thoughts so that we can learn and grow from one another', and
coonfidence says 'I can hear your opinion and not defensively attack it'
well now. . . then we can get along!

I think that you like them smart.

Because they know they can get the house when they leave us

Smart & Confident women are Enticing to me....

Condescending & Controlling women are a Turn Off...

And i'm sure the same is true for women!!! they don't want a C & C guy either....

you said it best . . .
and it deserves repeating :

I have, on this site. There was only one fatal flaw in the possibility of anything real. No kids, didn't want any either. Otherwise, she's a brilliant and attractive woman and one I could easily match with in terms of wits and appeal, and did I mention that she has long beautiful hair? There's probably nothing wrong with breaking from stereotypes and being her friend though. What's his name just did that.

It's amazing what you WON'T find at closing time at the bar

^^I NEVER expect to find a woman at a bar...because I'm not interested in "drunk chicks".

EDIT: At the bar I go and sing at, I have met women who at least TRY to beat me at the NTN trivia games...even if they ARE unsuccessful. End EDIT.

Even when I was going to college...and was ten years older than many of the women going there...I couldn't find women with the practical or even book-based intelligence I had. I did go out with one of them...because she approached ME, said she was impressed by my intelligence.

However, I wasn't impressed with hers...or her lack of taste ...but what more to expect out of someone just out of high school?

I totally agree with AllSmilesInTulsa

Well, I was living with a VERY smart AND gorgeous woman in Minnesota. Book smart, street smart AND good ol' fashioned common sense smart. Now, I'm not a stupid man (IQ 138 btw and never went to college/university), but she's way smarter than I am. I can honestly say I've met more than a few ladies that were quite intellectual, challenged me with their ideas or just made me think of things from a different but still intelligent and logical perspective.
The best part was..all but one of them were serious partiers too. But I digress, maybe your standards are just way too high.
Who CARES if she's yer intellectual match? I figure as long as she can hold her own in a conversation, unless ya start yackin' about 15th Century Polish architecture, or something just as esocteric, just be happy with someone that's smart enough to at least listen to what you're saying and offer her own opinions or ideas back. As long as yer smart enough to understand and respect those ideas and/or opinions. Maybe it's not that they're as smart as you either..maybe it's just a case of having different goals or ideologies, or simply that their intellect is in a different area than yours.
Be more open dude, ya catch more fish with a big net than a little one.

because they're insecure
