Guys, are you impressed by hard-working girls or intelligent girls?

[Anonymous]

Women who work hard aren't necessarily smart, and women who are smart aren't necessarily hard-workers.

Hard-workers valued more

Intelligence valued more

A lot of girls seem to have a 'smart' complex, why do guys look down on women so much and make them feel dumb?

[Song4TheBroken]

I would maybe say intelligence because it's SUCH an attractive quality to me, and if not intelligence than they at least have to be logical. But it depends what you mean by 'hard worker'. If you mean someone who does the daily grind 9-5 job thing, then no not really. It's a way to earn money i guess, but there's certainly nothing attractive about it. But if by 'hard working' you mean someone who puts a lot of time and effort into things they care about and are passionate about, then YES that is also a very attractive quality. And I guess hard working is more attractive if you mean it in the sense that i do. For example, someone who spends thousands of hours trying to master a musical instrument is a hard working person. Or someone who spends 20+ hours working on a single drawing is a hard worker to me. And THAT is what i would consider to be SEXY.

[Asker]

artistic/talented people truly are very hard-workers

[Song4TheBroken]

Yes, I very much agree with you ^_^

[Anonymous]

Both please. If I could choose only one though, it would be hard working.

Ultimately what's most important is her personality and attitude toward men. In my opinion women have been looking down on men and making them feel stupid more that the reverse. That's been the case for decades.

[Asker]

You've got to be kidding!

Women don't look down on men, it's the other way around.

Of course not to go as far as to say that ALL men are like that, I'm sure there are women too who, like you said, look down on men.

But, for the most part, there's a lot of sexism towards women especially in the workplace

and school too!

[Opinion Owner]

Sexism in the workplace? Where's the evidence of that? My mother is a human resources executive who has been in the business world for 25 years and she says there is more bias against men than women, and it's been that way for years now. Don't use the "gender pay gap" as evidence of it because it has been proven that is totally due to women's life choices. You have a degree in social studies and expect to earn what an engineer does. And you cannot remove yourself from the workforce for years at a time and expect to earn the same in the long run as someone who has been working and learning (and getting promoted) non-stop all along.

[Opinion Owner]

By the way, 71% of human resources managers (the people who make hiring and compensation decisions) are women. Is the the sexism in the workplace you're talking about?

The majority of ALL managers in the US today are women. Are they the ones who are being sexist against women in the workplace? How exactly does THAT work?

oh my goodness. you obviously have to be somewhat intelligent to be a hardworking person. there aren't just two types of girls! to be honest you only become a stupid person if you stop learning and the thing is- you learn new things everyday, i probably fall into the hard working category- i work 3 jobs and yeah shits tough but thats not all i do because im also intelligent... i graduated a year earlier than everyone in my hs year and im going to college a whole year before them - UNIVERSITY too. i want to major in business management with a minor in engineering. i just dont understand how hardworking people aren't intelligent? just because you're a simpleton doesn't make you stupid either it just means you like to make things easy and you aren't complicated.

[Scrambled]

I love go-getter women. I get so turned on when a girl has a business plan and goes for it. I just want to jump and shag her on the boardroom table.

[Asker]

Okay lol. As disturbing as that sounds, I'll give you credit for making me laugh at the sheer absurdity of it

[Scrambled]

Absurd sex is the best sex;)

[Yeatts]

lol is that how you get through all those boring meetings is by imagining that?

[NibirX]

CONSCIOUSNESS is very important for any family's betterment which men usually lack , IT IS WOMAN who MAKE MAN CONSCIOUS AND MOTIVATE TO DRIVE HIS power in a certain way for her kids well being. If woman isn't intelligent then how she'll be able to provide consciousness to the man.

Besides woman don't need necessary to be Hard worker for man, But need to do household light work also deserve support in her work from man.

For me I also demand one more thing AFFECTION not all time.

Someone can be a hard worker and be very unproductive. Whereas someone that is intelligent will at least know how to be productive, but won't be a hard worker. So intelligence is definitely better than hard work

[Xoxoxooo123]

hmmm... someone can also be very hardworking but be able to discipline themselves to complete tasks on time and manage their time well. they may not be valevictorian or have a doctorates degree but they can use their common sense to do what requires to be done next in a logical order. to be honest intelligence is idiotic- no one is smarter than anyone! if someone is better than you at something or knows something better than you the only reason that is is because they learned it before you did... thats the only thing. its doesn't mean anyone is smarter thanyou

[Opinion Owner]

I wholeheartedly agree with you that someone can be a hard worker as well as be disciplined with time! But the conversation is about simply being a hard worker or having intelligence. Being solely a hard worker (according to https://www.thefreedictionary.com) means "one who is industrious and diligent in carrying out tasks or duties" and having solely intelligence means "The ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge." I prefer someone that is intelligent!

[Asker]

I would add, intelligence is over-rated. Tonnes of smart people out there who don't do the work... what's the point?

[socialanimal]

the truth is guys pick whoever is pretty in both group thats all.

[Anonymous]

Employers would rather have a hard worker, than a smart one. They can train and deal with people who aren't "bright" but you can't train skills like working hard. That's stuff you have to walk in with

[atomique]

You must be a bit of both.

[atomique]

I don't like talented slackers romantically nor hard-working simpletons. Both make for good friends

[Asker]

What if you're either or

[Asker]

Ah so you like talented hard-workers? But aren't they rare to find?

[Asker]

Personally, I value hard-work in a man immensely, it's great if he's smart too, but hard-working men really seem to catch my eye

[atomique]

Not necessary. She need to be reasonably smart and reasonably hard-working.

[Asker]

What if she isn't hard working? Is that a deal breaker

[atomique]

I won't date slackers. If she is pretty dumb, that won't do either.

[Asker]

You know what I find interesting? A lot of guys who don't date dumb girls have girl 'friends' who are not the brightest bulbs on the planet. I wonder why that is

[Asker]

what about women who are smart, but not 'the smartest?'

For example, she's not truly intelligent, but she's smart enough and works hard enough to get by

[atomique]

I have dumb male and female friends. They pretty nice have a few endearing qualities. Ever been the "responsible one" among a group of friends?

[Asker]

Well, I've always been the smartest of my friends, but not necessarily the most responsible one.

Hmm but wouldn't that give rise to things like jealousy

[Asker]

*someone being a lot smarter than his peer group*

[atomique]

That's perfectly fine. I don't demand perfection,
