Do men like intelligent and stubborn women?

[Mystic-Endeavor]

I'm just curious to know if men find intelligence and a logical stubbornness in a woman, attractive?

[WhistleForTheChoir]

They'll claim they do. They don't:

Like attracts like usually, and that is true for level of intelligence as well, but it's pretty hard for people of above average intelligence to find a date comparatively. And more difficult the higher intelligence you have, especially for women.

As for stubbornness, I don't know, but I would assume it would be one of those like attracts like things as well. From a distance, I think it would be cool, but who knows when it's actually staring me in the face. I would probably think she was a little too tough for me.

Yes, at least I do. Intelligence is something that Im really attracted to because I like to understand their way of thinking and their actions. It always fascinates me to understand them. Being stubborn is also a nice trait. That means that these people can strongly believe in something and can fight for something that they have faith in. I like it :)

I know many woman like this - most of them are headed for divorce. My cousin being one of them. She is speaking about divorce as we speak. My other cousin is also like this and also getting ready to divorce.

[TheUglyMonk]

Yea, being stubborn is not healthy for a relationship at all.

You can't be intelligent and stubborn at the same time.

If you're stubborn you're not open to even the most logical things, because you WANT to be right instead learning that maybe it differs from what you thought. Being open to learn and get corrected is intelligent. This is something a stubborn person does not have.

[Kkaos]

Why would anyone like someone who's stubborn? Intelligent and stubborn shouldn't even be used in the same sentence. People who are stubborn aren't intelligent, they're not open to new views and always think they're right... That's not intelligent. Intelligent people realize that they still have a whole heap more to learn.

I don't necessarily find it attractive, but the woman I'm in love with now is VERY stubborn lol and she's intelligent. We both are in different ways. She is more book smart than I am. I am more hands on smart.

[Hal2002]

I find intelligent women attractive, logical stubbornness is ok to a point. But sometimes you have to be flexible, and agree that you disagree.

[DeterMind]

Intelligence yes, stubbornness no. Being smart is admirable, being stubborn is annoying

[CrazyTurboBeast]

Intelligence yes, stubbornness no.

Stubbornness is not intelligent. It is irrational.

[YOUTOOSHOULDJUDGE]

Intelligence yes. Stubbornness translates to being wrong but too proud to admit it.

[SmoMan71]

Depends on how stubborn we are talking about. But intelligence is always sexy.

[Chaz269]

Intelligent? Yes, definitely.
Stubborn? No
Nobody likes stubborn people.

[neoxyz]

if stubborness is linked to smartness yes. if facing a correction in ones hole knowkedge allows to set things and stop stubborness.
if it's to stick to lies etc, it's not

[OptimusPrime2017]

Intelligent yes, stubborn, no, unless if it's a video game competition or challenge or so.

[seth_mcinnis]

I would say intelligence is attractive because I would like to have an enjoyable conversation compared to a "hey I'm bored what are you doing" when instead we could talk about something that actually matters and is knowledgeable

[CoffeeWC]

I prefer someone who would be willing to learn instead of saying they're always right

[thinker_]

i love this kind of personality

generally these girls are bold too

[greNader]

Yeah but most stubborn women claim to be intelligent when they are actually not

[Spacepope]

not really. they argue too much about every little shit, cause they think they awesome.

too annoying.

[_serendipity_]

I love intelligent women, overall because I can discuss with being sure that the other person understands what I'm saying.

[Danael31]

Ofc intelligent. Ofc not stubborn. Can still be cite tho

[Buckzor]

Intelligence, yes. Stubbornness, no.

[SilvanRaptor]

The sadder but wiser girl for me
