In general, people are attracted to similar people in terms of wealth, intellect, etc. Intelligent guys generally like intelligent girls. But this comes with a big caveat. Although girls can be driven and intelligent while being good people and attractive mates, I find it is very common for those kind of girls to develop a sort of psychosis that makes them unbearable to be around. The same thing is true of smart guys but not at the same rate. Most smart, driven girls I have come across (in the Ivy League and Oxbridge) are very off putting for this reason. It is hard to describe, but it is a mixture of lack of humility, lack of wisdom, overconfidence, and a misplaced hatred towards any man that crosses their path. So before assuming it is academic, you need to do some self examination personality wise. And if it is just an academic incompatibility problem you should find college will help resolve it, because you will be with more similar people intellect wise.

Hi most average guys are intimated by smart girls.
Because they don’t know what to reply. They shut down and don’t have a reply.
I would suggest being yourself and real and you’ll find your match soon to be
Don’t drop or settle for second best
It’s a gift to be smart
Younger guys don't usually like it but when you're older guys will love it

Not at all in my case. What I wouldn't give to find a woman with whom I could have a logical, sustained and enjoyable conversation with. Most guys find it intimidating when a girl shows them up at anything. Bottom line; it's a sad shame we didn't go to school together.
Those in your 'class room' experience more about you than others who only SEE you.
Something in your personality may keep them on distance.
Not assuming something: I do like talent and intelligence in people (which includes women) - but if this is rubbed into my ears each undefended moment... I get a little tired of that.No, however with some women, that comes with an attitude of arrogance or an ego (or it may seem that way with her physical behavior, example she never smiles etc) and those things can be a turn off. Or, like a woman would, we make assumptions like you don't want to be approached etc. Don't wait for them, YOU approach guys you're interested in (why don't women do this?). At least go up, smile and try and strike up a conversation.
Not at all. It's kinda one of my deal breakers because I'm not really good at discussing much outside of what I like to think is deep conversation.
I like smart girls. But most women are not that smart. Knowing math and science does not men they are smart. İn the life itself how much they are smart? Thats the important. Some educated people do a lot of bullshit things. They are not smart, they are just educated.
I LOVE THEM.
I married my wife because she was smart.No, but we are turned off by women who feel the need to remind us how intelligent they are, or women who make everything a competition. It just gets old.
I mean I prefer intelligent women, but REAL MEN (attractive and macho men) don't want a woman who can out-smart them. Men like me, aren't generally noticed by women at all, so it makes sense that you haven't noticed men noticing you.
Depends, a lot of women like that are not the most fun to be around. They can be arrogant and entitled and think they are so great. Most guys prefer more chill girls. But there could be many reasons why guys don’t like a girl. So many reasons
Lots of us are sapiosexual and very much enjoy a conversation with an intelligent woman.
Depends if you wish you want to outsmart your partner
Only stupid people are tunred of by smart girls.
I love being around smart people, it makes me happy + what does stupid people give you from hanging out with them?Well what's the difference between women who follow the commandments of the Bible pr ; women who follow societal extremities such as political correctness or cultured subjective paradigms?
I prefer the quite girl with a good amount of free time.
Yes I must admit. We are afraid of girls who make us feel lowly and inferior.
No, opposite actually, but in general i think people like others of equivalent intelligence.
A lot of guys definitely are...
Smart guys aren't thoughIt 100% is about your personality not about how good you do in school.
Some will be, yeah
Just depends on the guy, right?Yeah kinduv. I’m like the opposite.
