Well in my opinion. I think that an intelligent woman is a sexy woman. My girlfriend is one of the most intelligent girls I've ever met and I have never been happier in a relationship. But there is a catch though. If intelligence becomes to a point where a woman gets more into a geeky side, for me personally that's a big turn off. Wish u wall a great day.. cheers!

No, we're afraid of ignorant women
😂😂Nice
Disagree that no man can accept a superior, intelligence and smarter woman and that's too hard.
To simply say, this person is more intelligent than this person and that's it, isn't the whole story. Intelligent in what exactly? If you look at a girl and she's acing every class she's taking, sure you can say she's more intelligent in those classes that she's taking than the dude who's chilling in the corner of the class, skating by C's.
But do you know what he's doing away from the classroom? He may be one hell of a drummer/musician and understands music and doing something with as his career choice or maybe he's a terrific athlete and know's how to move, use and take care of his body from all of his years of experience. Would you simply outright say she's more intelligent than those guys still? Because I guarantee if you put an instrument or a ball in their hands and hers, they'd make her look like a fool because they are intelligent in other fields.
Intelligence is a very broadtopic
No, we are not afraid. "Intelligent" women are simply not attractive, it wouldn't add anything to a mens life. We rather a caring woman than an "intelligent" one.
No, but it does get a bit annoying when they keep reminding us that they are intelligent. I've known a couple women like that it just annoyed me to just cut off communication with them.
I don’t think intelligent and confident men are afraid.
No, they are not. What they are afraid of, or more accurately, what they are simply put off by, are women who think that they are highly intelligent and ramble about social issues in a patronizing tone.
No, what kind of idiot is afraid of smart people? Intelligent people (not just women) are cool to hang out with unless they're arrogant and have to show off their knowledge at every turn.
No, but describing yourself as "superior" and more intelligent is going to make them dislike you just a bit
The ones who aren't confident enough in themselves are afraid of intelligent women the ones who feel comfortable in their own skin are not afraid.
I've always been attracted to women who are more intelligent than myself. I guess intelligence can be used for good or evil so I'd probably be scared if they had bad intentions!
Not afraid, but some men feel very intimated, like if they date a intelligent women, they're afraid of her looking smarter than him. Like he does not know anything.
I like intelligent woman because One day when I settle down I wouldn’t want to settle down with no dummy and my kid pick up her ways and they become dumb but that’s not always the case but I just fill that when two intelligent people have a kid there kid would be intelligent
No, In fact Men find Intelligent, women more attractive and sexier, Intelligent women cater to his wildest fantasies, and initiates his testosterone. Men have always been drawn towards intelligence, it is a very great attraction trigger, and the women that has it always attracts admiration of the men.
Though on the outside man may act like he is absolutely not interested, but on the inside his heart is craving for that women.

It doesn't matter which of you is smarter. If you can coexist and be happy together then the intelligence level of one compared to the other shouldn't matter
Some are cause it makes them feel less smarter even if he is smart. It usually an insecurity/ego thing. They don't want too dumb but they don't want too smart either, they want a nice balance.
Everyone is smart in their own way. I can really computers all day but if the person I'm talking with doesn't find it interesting or understanding then I'm not being intelligent by doing that. Nerves can sometimes be mistaken for fear in the flirting world.
Nope. If I guy happens to be afraid of intellectual women, I'm almost certain that he's also afraid of intellectual men. People like this are just afraid of people smarter than them. It's not a gender thing.
Nope. I am very turned on. I always play dumb with them and try to learn about them that way. I ask questions and make them feel like experts. I tend to flirt best with intelligent women too.
What I mean by play dumb, is that I don't start with a battle off wits, I let her shine a bit first.
*of wits
No? Why would any guy be "afraid" or "intimidated" by intelligence? I know plenty of women in Engineering and other STEM majors, and they don't scare me. I just think they are cool people to be around as an Engineering major myself.
We aren't. But we're avoiding them just like bimbos. Why? Because intelligent and unintelligent woman are equal mindf*ckers and we don't have that kind of negativity in our lives.
One time, I heard a woman talking about quantum mechanics and I peed myself a little.
I am not afraid of intelligent women. I consider my self educated and fairly intelligent. I consider intelligence to be a turn on in women and highly attractive.
I don't think men are afraid of intelligent women. Only if she likes to show it off and rub it in your face it gets annoying.
You answered your question. No man can dominate a "superior" woman. Plus an intelligent woman is likely a SJW (lisa simpson) thats sounds like a handful to try and dominate
I've never met a man that was afraid of my intelligence or the intelligence of any woman; however, I have met plenty of boys.
Men in general? Yes. Most men don't care to be obviously less than a potential romantic partner. Me personally? No. To me, a smart woman is a learning opportunity.
Really? so all of those really hot intelligent women are alone? or could there be a different reason? a reason that involves attraction, or lack of it? could it be that your appearance or personality is a turn off?
I actually prefer intelligent woman because you can have deep, long lasting, non-insulting conversations with her and you feel way more comfortable around her :) One of the best characteristics a woman can have in my opinon
I will greatly appreciate a woman that is incredability intelligent.
What a blessing that will be to have a woman like that.
Any man that is afraid of a intelligent woman has serious insecurities.
Pfft afraid? Nah.
What do you think we are? Machines? Everybody is different. Humans are always in a state of flux.
Rubbish. I am not afraid of intelligent women, I am put off by women who consider themselves superior and lack humility because of their intelligence.
No I fucking adore intelligent women it's really hot but. Dumb girls are more clingy Tbh either way I love women
I'm intelligent
;)...
Nope. We don't find ball busting overweight feminists attractive.
Not if they're as intelligent. The dumb ones should be though..
Honestly, I pray to God I can find someone more intelligent than me. Some folks try to justify for their small dicks by being with stupid women.
Just my honest opinion.
I wouldn't say men are afraid of intelligent women as a general rule. Narcissistic men can't handle strong women who don't deal with their bullshit.
Many men are. They feel intimidated and threatened on their masculinity.
I am on the contrary very attracted to intelligence! I need it challenge and stimulate me.
Smart and good men love intelligent women , I will take a smart average girl over a hot dumb one.
I am actually attracted to intelligence. If a girl can teach me something and we can have great and intelligent conversations then I'm all for that.
Why do women think when they are intelligent men should bow down to them? No men aren't scared they just don't give a fuck. Women get educated and expect people to applaud them for it.
Hahahahahahahaha word
Afraid? Like they might be killed or have their organs stolen?
I'm fairly certain the percentage of men who are afraid of women for any reason is almost entirely negligible.
Not at all. But being "progressive" doesn't equal being intelligent. A free thinker is what defines true intelligence.
To be honest, I thik the only reason to be nervous of intelligent women is if you are a bad liar.
Nope but scared of dumb ones and unfortunately this world is full of dumb people mainly women
Guys maybe scared of them but, real men just sip their coffee and, don't give a damn whether a woman is intelligent or not.
But, if she starts talking about chemicals or stocks I'll just say, go sister date someone else.😂😂
You can't expect a good response from a feminist type of question.
If you are an introverted person a superior intellect from the opposite sex will intimidate that person.. Not because of the gender but because of the pressure of interacting... So yes.. In circumstances.. But same goes the other way
this is true for me, though i still appreciate it.
Not gonna lie most are defiantly intimidated by intellect and dont know how to react to it due to the stereo type of the typical ditzy woman saddly. Dont let it put you off look for somone who does find it a turn on
I think it's best if both of them are at the same level intelligence and both have good common sense.
No. Its not at all like that. We are not afraid of intelligent women. we are afraid of what comes next.
I feel most guys are because they want to be the head of the house and someone more intelligent can be intimidating
No. Idiots are afraid of being exposed by intelligent people.
No we admire them. Well us intelligent men do at least. Lol
Not really. I have an immediate attraction to them. Will I go out with them? It depends on other things.
Don't think this is true any man who would is just not really a man taking it out of gender we should all just respect each other's intelligence
Strangers find it attractive
classmates thinks its intimidating
I sure am. Not gonna work anywhere near you because I ain't gonna be the next man to be falsely accused of sexual harrassment.
What?
He admitted to being an idiot. Let it go.
@BeeryNice Nope. I'm the smart one who knows how cruel women are these days.
Nope. You're an idiot.
@BeeryNice Nope. You're a feminist.
Yes. I am. I'm also an awesome person
@BeeryNice
Exactly.
@BeeryNice Nope. Feminists are not awesome. They spread cancer and kill people who don't deserve to be killed.
No, that's BPA.
@BeeryNice Hmmm, a feminist who doesn't know what cancer is. I guess feminists are more stupid than I thought. Thanks for the evidence.
i'm more afraid of a women who think she's intelligent when she's not.
No, a woman with high intelligence is usually a lot more fun to talk to.
I find intelligent and powerful women insanely attractive!
