Are men lying or am I just mean?

Some of my friends and my mother have this theory that I date stupid men so that I can feel more powerful than them. I don't think that's true, since intelligence is one of the most attractive things for me. I just find with a lot of men that I date that they tend to present themselves as charming and intelligent when nothing could be farther from the truth. I've never had this problem when dating a woman, but it tends to happen a lot with men.
Can anyone else sympathize?

Hello! I can very much sympathize with you. My mother always told me that my picker was broken! She was right! Every guy I picked turned into a huge jerk. I started dating a friend of mine 1 1/2 years ago, and we are still together. My advice? Be friends first for a while then you will see his true colors!

I do actually go for men that are stupid in the areas that I am intelligent in, but they also have to intelligent in areas that I am stupid in, so that we can learn and improve one another. I feel that if two people are intelligent in the same area then they are never going to develop any further. I am academically clever, whereas my boyfriend knows a lot about computers and music.

maybe the reason you dont have the problem with dating women is because women are better at being deceptive and have an easier time pulling the wool over yer eyes. men (in my own personal experience) are more honest, forthright, above board and dont play head games.. whereas every single female ive ever been involved with have been backstabbing coniving vicious creatures. i think perhaps you prefer women to men, thus any men you date you pick apart everything about them, maybe even invent flaws in your own mind, and with the women, you see what you want to see, rather than whats really there.
