Do the intelligent women intimidate guys?

Is it even possible that she is smarter than me? Look at my EGO dude. Is it big or not? :P

I'm answering from a woman's point of view (LOL because I am one). I like to think I am equally as intelligent as my husband but in different areas. We share some common interests which we know as much stuff about as each other and in other areas he is far more knowledgeable and I am more knowledgeable in some other areas. I think it's a happy compromise, we can learn from each other :)

If a guy is insecure about themselves, their achievements, etc, they will be intimidated by intelligent women. So, it takes a strong, confident man to accept a woman who may be the one "bringing home the bacon" or is just smarter than him.

I think it really does depend on the guy and whether he focuses on being highly intelligent and basically always right. Some guys would love to have a girl who was intelligent and new herself more than them. I think guys tend to be more threatened by an independant woman than an intelligent woman but now you are getting all these new age men that are going against the grain. I think in a relatioship it is all about harmony.

Not really,i would be very comfortable if a woman or girl knows more than me,i would love to learn from them. But sometimes there are woman who feel so superior to guys that they insult them and make them look like a dumb person.

Why should an intelligent woman intimidate me? My wife is very intelligent and it only challenges me. We can have discussions and understand each other. I would hate to be with someone who could not hold a meaningful conversation or is only concerned with the latest pop-culture B.S. We do enjoy our mindless diversions but I find intelligence very sexy and appealing.

I think intelligent women are less likely to be "bullied" by men :D. I'm a woman, and I think although intelligent women probably do intimidate some men, they actually meet more "quality" guys, guys who are confident enough not to feel intimidated :).

from the opposite point of view when i was dating i would not want to go out with someone less educated than myself !I have to care for the person and I cant even respect him if he is dumber than myself !

If I were a guy, I will not be threatened at all. But instead, I will be very happy to know such person. The good thing about it, is I'm going to learn a lot from her. And I know for sure, that I will have a good conversation with her. If she is humble enough not to make boast her intelligence, I will surely admire her for it. Humble intelligent persons are good.

Well, I'm a woman. Holder of a College degree but so far, I haven't met any men who is intimidated with me. Maybe because I never let them feel small. If they can't understand what I'm saying, then I will paraphrased my words. I never will dare to look down on men who is less smarter than me. :)

It all depends on the personality of the guys and their educational level. There are some guys who welcome and enjoy the company of girls/women better edcuated than them. In my opinion, these are a rare breed. However, I feel most asian men would feel intimidated by girls/women better educated than them simply because of society's pressure. Many simply cannot accept that girls/women are more highly educated and these belong to the majority who have lower education, high ego and inferior index. I have certainly met both such categories of guys.
