Are men (or boys) scared of dating intelligent women?

I'm a teenage girl who's always been smart, but never had a date. Do you males think that these are related? Are men scared of us or something?

    I like the answer from "amsvage" -Are there any?-

    Well that is on the lighter side. Women can be intelligent but what it has to do with dating? At that time you talk nicely but not intelligentely. Further more, you should be smart enough to not let it be obvious. Cultivate the habit of hiding your smartness and study the guys. You will enjoy if you are really intelligent. Since you are a teenager you have to learn a lot before making any convictions.

    I think that less intelligent males are scared of intelligent women, but not the smart ones. Being an intelligent guy myself I wouldn't want to go out with a girl that is significantly less smart than myself because I want someone who's on my level.

  • Yes cause they don't want to be proved as bone heads like they are now I am into guys but that doesn't mean that just because I am smart that I shouldn't have a good bf also I think that they don't want a smart girlfrined cause a smart girl can see through all the crap that they put out there and that is the reason that they are afraid to date smart women.

    Source(s): The fact that it's right is a good enough resource just kidding I just have that as my opinion and that is the source my opipion

    Well, Not scared, but it would not be as adventurous as with a not so intelligent one.

    Intelligent women make own decisions, they dont let guys decide. They have this I-do-what-i-want-to attitude.

    Intelligent women stay away or have a sense of "privacy" in a group, not to divulge too much detail, so guys dont have a topic.

    It becomes tougher for the guys to guess something for a girl that turns out to be right.

    women are generally unpredictable, (guys point of view) Intelligent women have a multiplication factor of 2 to it.

    and finally, beauty * brains = constant, generally ..

    -------------------------

    You generally need a more intelligent dude, then the average Joe. Wait, and wait and you might meet him,

    Not in the party place , but during cram study and exams!

    Some men are, but usually not the intelligent ones. When you get to college, take some hard courses, and flirt with the guys you meet. If they don't take the hint, ask them out near the end of the semester. If they say no, you'll probably not meet them again.

    most women who are unintelligent can strive for nothing else except for an image. you just need to find men who crave that intelligence because believe me there are men out their who find it attractive. another thing to think about is your age. it can seem hopeless to find a date in high school because it is so hard too meet men your age that have grown into being attracted to anything that doesn't benefit themselves for instance (sex, physical attraction, popularity, etc.) my advice is just wait it out. develop your people skills to become more social in chances of meeting that someone who truly appreciates you, but don't give up your intellectual side! try to meet boys with the same interests and then the relationship will come much easier.

    yes they are. as a rule males fear women's intelligence and we move in on the ones we think we can deal with.

    we don't pick dumb ones, they just make themselves available in a more obvious manner thus getting more exposure.

    smart ones tend to try **** they read in romance novels and we don't always pick up on that.

    hence when your intelligence shows off the top you become a stand by.

    that don't mean everyone so don't sweat!

    Some guys are definitely intimidated by intelligent women. Don't worry, they aren't all like that.

    My girlfriend is very intelligent and I would say it's one of the things that I really like. She is also gorgeous but that's a whole other story :)

    Hey Homeboy let me explain a couple of things to you, first of all the only white gurls with black guys are the ones white guys want nothing to do with. You know the type white, 500 lbs, ugly as hell. Now your probably going to say something like "o its because u guys are bad in bed or we have small cocks" something like that. Maybe its because women like the fact that that black men can consistently hangout and snuggle in the morning instead of going to work like the rest of American society ! Take it easy Bro keep pounding those 500 pounders

    I guess that because guys can't or they don't want a woman to be smarter than them...They want to impress the woman of their dreams and let her see that with them she is going to be happy and well protected...In own opinion...I believe that girls can do anything that they want to..is just that in todays society..people try to think that males are the smartest people and girls are not...THAT IS NOT TRUE...
