Do guys usually try to impress girls with their knowledge?

[Anonymous]

Everytime I talk to my crush he puts effort to explain things to me even though he doesn’t have to. He will write to me paraghraphs. Use smart words and even search information for me.
why? is he insecure or tries to impress me?

[Slayerrrrrrr]

Yes and no. Some girls are sapiosexual, meaning they're turned on by a intelligent dude. I've personally hooked up with a few nice ladies that were more than willing to do dirty things with my body just because they thought I talked smart.
I guess it's them thinking I analyze things carefully and am sure of who I am and what I believe in. And also have a lot of knowledge about a lot of things, which would make me interesting to conversate and be around.

My crush used last time big words when we were talking about health (I’m a nurse by the way) I don't know if he wanted to impress me…..

[Slayerrrrrrr]

Maybe so, but is there anything negative about that? If we like somebody it's only natural that we want to show the best version of ourselves, as long as it's not a fake side or ingenuine it's something good. So I'd say it's a good sign, or he just wants to feel as smart as you or seem like he knows as much as you to just carry on a conversation.

No, I find it demeaning to do that to a girl. I used to try and impress girls with gentleman efforts (offering to help them with something, or open doors for them) and I still do just in a less forced manner. I am not an expert on females but it does seem more effective to be gentlemanly and polite rather than big and impressive.

Recently I talked with my crush.

Does it seem like he tried to do that?

I messaged him like 11pm on instagram. I asked him a question about a drink that he posted about. I asked it’s really all natural and he went to look information of the product from their website for me and said that it’s a really great drink lol.

Then I said to him that I don’t really believe companies own advertisements. Then he sent me 7 line of text how companies can't lie about those information etc. at the end he was like it’s a great company and he buys natural products from there.

He sounded really smart (used big words and gave thoughtful replies)

Interesting thing is that he knows that I work in the healthcare field. Also he isn’t the type of guy that would buy natural products and really emphasize it.. by the way the company that he talked about was a superfood company. I don't know if he just wanted to impress me……

[MrDanZa]

It seems blatantly clear that he is trying to impress you here but then again he could actually just be wanting to sound smart (I think the former is the more accurate). But the thing is, do you find it demeaning or heartwarming?

[Asker]

Why do u think it’s blatantly clear that he wanted to impress? I kinda like it but atsole points it can come across demeaning….

[MrDanZa]

Maybe it wouldn't seem clear if you didn't emphasize that he researched the website or that he didn't know about the company beforehand. If that stuff is true, then I would still feel confident in saying he is trying to impress (I don't know romantically but still trying to impress)

[jenna15]

if they're not good looking they would be better off impressing with humor

Some people have a need of being portrayed as intelligent and seek validation for that as people seek it for good looks. And that can get very annoying when they constantly want to pontificate.

? :)))

[HighValue]

It would be more impressive if they knew this: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start. Now that is impressive. :)

[Asker]

My crush used last tike big words when we were talking about health (I’m a nurse by the way) I don't know if he wanted to impress me…..

[Asker]

Last time*

[Danny_dan92]

I don’t. I rather a girl just find me attractive for the man I am. Not trying to flex or boast to grab the attention

What do you think :)) ?

[Wester1967]

All that I know is I know nothing. How could women possibly be impressed with that?

[Iron_Man]

Not everybody but
some do because that’s all they have they’re not athletic

[Asker]

My crush is handsome tbh not necessarily athletic but he’s in shape. I’m college educated and so is he by the way.

[Iron_Man]

When people throw out big words they’re trying to impress most people don’t talk like that and I’ve been around everybody All different levels

[Asker]

Does that mean that he likes me?

[Iron_Man]

Probably so

[Iron_Man]

Maybe he’ll ask you out one day

[Asker]

I know about that…. why do u thinks so?

[Iron_Man]

I’m not 100% sure but give it some time

[Asker]

So u think he’s intetested?

[Iron_Man]

Yes 😊

[Asker]

Why? He doesn’t text me first etc

[Iron_Man]

Why don’t you drop some hints make yourself available for example going out too the movies out at the movie theater and I can tell you how to make the conversation. That’s if you live in America Because I know the movies have started back up again

[Asker]

I will be more obvious with him from now on. Anyway what makes u believe that he’s interested?

[Iron_Man]

Have you ever met this guy in person yet how many times have you actually talked

[Asker]

We’ve just talked in instagram. We have just bumbed to each other irl not talked. Anyway u didn’t really answer my question :D

[Iron_Man]

That’s not enough evidence to show that he likes you now I’m answering your question

[Asker]

Then why did you say yes before when I asked u if you think he’s interested?

[Iron_Man]

In the conversation he seem interested but now that I found out it was just one Internet meeting anything is possible. Anyway have a nice day ma’am

[serious]

Yes to an extent that is true.

[Wise4myage]

Yes, that's very common in my opinion.

[Asker]

Why they do that? It almost come across as “mansplaining” when they do that

[Wise4myage]

To make themselves feel good?

[Asker]

But do they do that when they like her?

[Wise4myage]

Yes, I think so.

[Asker]

Does it seem like try to do that?

He is trying to protect his fragile male ego.

[noohair]

I know general things about how guys think, I have no idea about how your guy is.
Asking him questions is the best way to fins answers.

[Asker]

In general what did you think about the conversation

[noohair]

Since I do not know him and I am not a psychologist, I have no comment.
Asking him questions is the best way to find answers.

[BeMuse]

Report vs rapport...

[Asker]

What?

[BeMuse]

look it up... Guys and girls typically communicated in a different fashion. He's just talking like a guy.

[Asker]

Do guys try to sound smart all the time?

[BeMuse]

No, we just like to convey useful information to each other. This is why girls often think guys don’t share our feelings and won’t open up...

[Asker]

But why use big words woth me?

[Asker]

With*

[BeMuse]

Maybe that is how he’s use to talking. Maybe he’s studying GRE vocab for graduate school or something like that. I don’t know… I don’t really see that as flaunting your brain power… As a relatively smart guy I know all sorts of fancy words, but I tend to try to simplify my language as to match my audience and have to remind myself to keep it simple stupid… Maybe he is just obvious...

[Asker]

Obvious about what? That he likes me?

[BeMuse]

That he is using a lot of big words and not connecting with you… Sometimes people are in their own lane and they don’t listen...
