No, but I do think that you have to be forward. I think that part of why women who pretend to be dumb and get boys is because they’re not as threatening so their easier to ask out. Your going to have to ask guys out.
No you don't have to dumb yourself down. Actually some people out there prefer smart women, myself included. You could totally find a guy though you may have to go to specific places to find these guys.
No. But something stood out in your question. You said, "I don't take bulls*** from other people". It's more likely it's that you're being emotionally unavailable that's turning guys off then your intelligence. Intelligence is attractive. Believing you're better than others is not.
In my opinion those girls aren't winning anything lol.. those guys seem like losers to me! I am sure you deserve way better than that! I am also intelligent and smart but am still single and only have a guy on Gag who truly likes me for me.
Look for a guy who is smart like you possibly in his 30's to early 30's. You shouldn't have to dumb yourself for any guy, that's really setting your standards low and being at the mercy of a guy.
You should never dumb yourself down for any reason. I say it all the time, men rise to the standards set by women.
Some of the most ignorant unobservant indoctrinated and foolish people I’ve ever known have PhD is though, so beware of University bars or venues like that.
Nah, just go to a local hobby store and get into some strategy board games there and you may meet someone that likes an intelligent person to date.
No? No guy would want a "dumbed down" woman. I sure wouldn't. Just be yourself, if they can't take it or like it, they can take a hike.
Why would i want a dumb woman?
Your observations are most likely confirmation bias as you clearly have a preconcieved idea.
Why would you want to be manipulative? and why would i want that once I had figured it out?
I somehow doubt you're smart, especially if you're saying "I'm incredibly smart, and I don't take bullshit from people." Sounds more like another arrogant 20-something female to me who thinks she's got a platinum pussy.
Just try meeting men where intelligent men are likely to br found. Like a library.
I suppose some men find it intimidating. I like being able to have a deep conversation with a woman though.
Nooo. Just... don't act smart. Like act a little dumb for them but keep your smarts to yoruself.
Don't dumb yourself down there are too many of them already be true to yourself the smart guys are out there you just have not cross paths it will happen sorry I am too old, but I was young once and yes very smart too, so we are out there
I like to be around intelligent people. But not if they continually try to prove how smart they are! That is when I go into proving them stupid mode!
Common sense goes the extra mile to get my attention!
If you are struggling in your 20s there's not much hope left because at 30 it will be just worse because you are woman
once women hit 30 shit just goes downhill
I mean my mom got married at 43 and had me at 45. So maybe it's in my genetic cards and God was like "well she's doomed, might as well give her some hope in this life."
I never got a girlfriend so I'm basically on the same page as you miss!! NO! Do not "dumb yourself down", be yourself. Only a loser thug or a total SIMP would want to date a bad girl. You will find the right guy who God intended to be with you. Amen
You'll fine someone. Just put yourself out there.
Guys don’t want dumb girls, they just don’t want combative, aggressive or argumentative women. We that way with other men.
i think people like smart people and being a nice, friendly and caring smart person would be an interesting person :)
if this is how you view the people around you I can understand why you haven't had a boyfriend. Surprised you have had friends actually.
