But the thing is that showing the level of intelligence, wit and vocabulary in stuff that you " just write " is what can cause the intimidation. You may not be able to really see it, but that's not anything out of the norm. It's not the way you perceive what you are writing. It's what everyone else sees in your posts. Now, you don't come off as arrogant. But you DO come off as highly intelligent. Like you have said before, a lot of women say that they want an intelligent man. My line of thinking is that very few of the ones that say they want that, know what it actually means. I think ( and this in just my opinion ladies, so hold off on looking for a tree to hang me from ) that the vast majority of them don't realize what they are actually asking for. A guy with an IQ well into the triple digits will actually intimidate the hell out of them. Even, and especially, when the guy is not making any attempt at all to do so. The main line of thought is " This is the way he talks all the time??? " Then they realize that " intelligent " doesn't really mean 1 step above grunting and knuckle dragging. I'm just now beginning to get a grasp of this concept. But I always see things in profiles, the forums, whatever, where women DO say they want an intelligent guy. I've come to dismiss that as just another part of the PC crapola that makes people think they have to write "looks don't matter" and "it's what's on the inside that counts" while they're actually looking for Brad Pitt wearing a Speedo and holding a heart-shaped box of chocolates. It's this idea of "oh no, what if people perceive me as being superficial?" -- well, how is that any better from being perceived as dishonest about whatever it is you really want? As for the intimidation thing -- that's a choice a person makes. Just like being "offended" when you ask to have your profile rated, and someone comes back with a less-than-stellar review -- you're offended? That's up to you. Same thing here. If my writing intimidates you, then don't read it. Problem solved. Although I still have some real issues with the idea that people thousands of miles away could be intimidated by words on a screen, words written by a random stranger far, far away. And, yes, it IS the way I talk all the time. Even when I'm doing my fake Russian accent. |
