If a guy calls a girl smart?

[taylaa]

If a guy calls a girl smart, is that a turn on for him, or can he possibly be intimidated by her and maybe feel less about himself or feel dumb?

[oOsweet~o~nessOo]

well the guys I'm around have this idea that women are inherently stupid.

So I was getting into some deep discussions with a group of them and they were like " wow, your actually smart."

I was like -_- yes...intelligence isn't limited to men. Shocking I know.

one of my friends was like,

" well I didn't mean all girls are stupid, it's just a lot of girls are really ditzy so it was surprising to actually find one I could talk to about this type of stuff."

So yea, I'd take it as a compliment.

I mean, better that then being called stupid right?

[taylaa]

Yes it is haha

I guess girls can look ditzy by behavior , even when they are smart.

[confuuuuuuuuused]

Maybe it is just the guys that I run with but they like intelligence in a girl. The ditzy ones are only good for one thing in their eyes.

differs from guy to guy but it's a complement to be called smart. sure, some people are intimidated and others are not. don't read into it so much and don't rely on the answers of people who couldn't read his body language and tone of voice at the time

[taylaa]

Yeah, I know not too read too much into it, thanks for your response!

Intelligence is always sexy hands down. The more she knows the more I want to hear from her which creates more interest. I've often said the sexiest thing about a girl is a big and sexy brain.

Okay, you are obviously a smart guy. None of the guys I ever meet are looking for a brain, they're always searching for a dumb bimbo because all they want is sex. Wow, this planet needs more guys like you!

[RedThread]

wow thank you! Well.. a dumb bimbo may get your attention for a second but for long lasting attraction you need intelligence :)

It's a good thing, nothing urks me or insults me more than when a girl is afraid of seeming too smart so she thinks she needs to dumb herself down for me so that I might feel good about myself.

[misuzi]

Smart is good. Nobody wants to be around somebody for a long period of time if that person turns out to a bubblehead.

It simply means we think high of u
