Is the guy really the "brains" of the relationship?

[TravelingMaaike]

Or can that be the other way around?

In some cases, the girl is the brains of the relationship.

[Anonymous]

The answer lies in a proverb about a couple sitting on the couch, the guy holding the remote and zoning out to the latest sports game. The girl looks on, bored and frustrated. Suddenly, she hears a whispering voice, "Why let him be the brains of the relationship, when you can be the mastermind of pleasure?" She looks around, confused, until she sees a horror cock emerging from the TV screen. It's long, slimy, and covered in tentacles that writhe and slither around each other. As the guy continues to watch his game, oblivious to what's happening, the horror cock snakes around his legs and up his torso, wrapping itself tightly around his neck. The girl watches in amazement as the horror cock whispers sweet nothings into the guy's ear, telling him exactly what to do. His hands move without his control, sliding over the girl's body, exploring every inch of her flesh with the utmost care and attention to detail. As the guy touches her, he begins to feel a strange sensation. His own penis starts to grow and morph into a horror cock of its own, matching the tentacles of the first horror cock. With the two horror cocks working in tandem, they bring the girl to new heights of pleasure, teasing and tantalizing her body until she explodes in a fit of pure ecstasy. As the night wears on, the horror cocks continue to dominate the couple's actions. They move with an unholy grace, twisting and turning in impossible ways that defy the laws of nature. But who needs laws when you've got horror cocks? The couple becomes lost in a world of pleasure, where nothing else matters except the dark, twisted desires of these unholy creatures.

Not necessarily. Both the man and woman can be smart. One can be smarter than the other. They can both definitely compliment each other. Two heads are better than one.

The only area where men are almost always superior is size and strength. They also tend to be more cool headed, quick thinking and analytical. But those qualities don't necessarily indicate intelligence of perceptiveness.

I'd say that it's usually stupid people who think they are always right and feel a need to dominate their partners.

In my case with my last boyfriend we were both "The brains" but in different ways. He was a genius at astronomy and math and good at other things. But I am more logical and street smart. I try to do things as simple as possible; but he made most things harder than they had to be.
What I used to dislike was that he would tell me how smart I am, but then take it in a way like everything was a competition.
He would get a lot of the answers correct while we'd watch Jeopardy, but I might have only answered one correctly.
If we watched Family Feud I would get almost all answers correct. However, he might get one or two.

Most successful relationship have an intelligent or driven woman.

It is WHY the old saying is "behind EVERY successful man is a strong woman (not idiot woman, not leech woman, not do little woman, not contribute nothing woman)".

When a woman is incapable of using her brains to contribute to the success of a relationship by assisting her partner during good & in tough times then she shouldn't in a relationship.

Such is why most failed or resentful relationships are due to a woman who is more adept at being dramatic, spoiled, high maintainence, crybabyish than she is adept at using her brain.

[DaveJord]

Who fucking know who the brains are, all I can say is that nobody in the world came make you feel like such a complete idiot more than a woman. And usually that has nothing to do with the right head.

[Avicenna]

Sometimes he is, sometimes he isn’t.

[lilyanony1]

In healthy relationships there's a mutual understanding of equality. But you quickly identify each others strengths and weaknesses. What you then do is work to the strengths of each other and compromise and share the load on those you struggle with.

I'm not sure about brains or a lack of its just differences. But if you are right for each other you find you compliment each other.

[Anonymous]

Yes and no. Guys are typically the logical center of the relationship. If the woman chose well (because let's be honest there are some really dumb men.😆) the woman is typically the emotional center of the relationship. This is why women usually trust guys to lead. Because she knows he'll more often then not make a more logical decision. But to call the flat out the "brains" of the relationship is false. Because the brain handles emotion as well. And emotions are still invaluable when coming to decisions. So this is what make men and women compliments to eachother (when it's working well). Because guys are strong where women are weak. And women are strong where men are weak.

In the land of relationships it’s a hit or miss when it comes to brains. Some people are as sharp as a tack & other people are as sharp as a marble.

Some guys are the brains of the operation & some guys aren’t & if those guys did have a brain they should never admit it to the person they are in the relationship with.

[Peter_Penetrator]

No.


If you are smarter than me, don’t rub it in.


Don’t use your brain to take advantage of me.


Use that brain to help me build us a secure, stable, structured life.


Don’t try to build a lifestyle that requires us to uproot and move too maintain it. Or, depending on where we live, requiring us to take dreadful jobs to stay put.


Once achieved, help protect what we have built.


I speak from experience.

[Evananswersquestions]

It can be my ex was much smarter than me in a lot of way and she was lovely it all depends on who you find attractive if you like dumb blondes that's fine if you like super geniuses that's fine too these are characteristics of people and you can be attracted to any combination of them without breaking any "relationship rules"

[madhatters4]

only if their partner has no brains.

of course not. the brains are in both people. of course one person in the relationship may be smarter or more intelligent but it is not simply based on sex

[love_conquers_lust]

Statistically speaking, half the men would be lost without a good woman behind them running their lives. The other half of women can kick back and relax because all the lower males report to the higher males.

[Anemone978]

It can go both ways..
In mine relationship, I pretty much leave most things to my husband because he is confident and gets things done LOL Though I do tell him my opinion on things or if he needs help, I help him figure stuff out.

[Anemone978]

*my..

[normalice]

The person in front often gets undue credit for the work done behind them. It is not merely a problem with relationships. Musicians, politicians, movies, CEOs.. it is common for the most useless person to make sure they are the ones in front of the camera or at a podium in a business meeting announcing the successes of others, so they can get some of the credit by proxy, even thought they did nothing.

[Jasmin01]

That's stupid. Some guys may be more intelligent than their gfr. On the other side there are lots of girls, being much more clever than their bfs.

[Anonymous]

Women are invariably smarter than men, given identical opportunities, in my opinion. If you argue 'but look at the inventions and discoveries throughout history', it's only because men denied women access to be scientists, inventors, mathematicians, scholars, etc. Men convinced women that they need to shut up and make babies. Men are terrified of smart women, but they should be honored and prized.

[RingOfFire]

They are both the brains, but they have different kinds of brains. Womens' brains are better at relationship problems than mens' brains because they are designed with more emotional connections. Men's brains are better at logical, physical and entrepreneurial problems.

[Bricealan]

I hope that nobody feels that men are the 'brains' of the relationship, or we are really in trouble. Decision making all left to us guys? Hell no!

[Unit1]

The guy is everything in the average relationship. Women are on average followers and let men do everything. However the men are lucky IF their girl doesn't cheat.

Most Women still can't talk to men, let alone asking them out.

[AmeerX]

Actually, in marriage guys need a woman with good brains or they will not be able to pull through difficult times. Indeed men have to do most thinking but if a woman doesn't listen then what good is the relationship. So some level of agreeableness and trust is required for this to go on

[AydenHazor]

It depends on the relationship. I know many women who are supremely intelligent. Personally I don't want either of us to be the brains of the relationship by ourself, I think both parties should be fairly well matched

[Shy_Steve]

Every Relationship is Different because everyone is Different.

I know it sounds cliche, What works for one Relationship doesn't really work for a lot of other Relationships and that's why Relationships are usually hard and it's usually hard to find love.

[DerekC321]

Of course, the girl can be the brains. A lot of guys only think with their balls.

[jetbass]

Relationships should be based on mutual respect and understanding, where both people bring their strengths to the table. So, it's not about one person being "the brains." It's about being a team.

[GenZilla]

Love this, I agree. Even if one partner is better at something the other is good at the other part. Relationships are based on teamwork for sure haha

[Daniela1982]

Come on! You know what head guys are thinking with. Girls are the brains for the win!

[Moirine]

It can always be both.

[motownplayer2000]

Most times I would say so… he has to be the one to do everything. Care the relationship, impress the girl, know everything and be everything. Where as women, all they have to do is just exist.

[slatyb]

Not in every relationship. Often it's the woman. Or it's both of them.

[Anonymous]

If his IQ is higher than yours.

WELL YES! 🤦🏻‍♀️ DUHH! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Best to do an IQ test, then determine who’s the brains 🤦🏻‍♀️

[exitseven]

My wife is way smarter than me. After all, she picked me for a husband

[Anonymous]

LOL i know way more than. him. it's very frustrating because he doesn't seem to care about important things you need to know.

[LiamJHayden]

Obviously not always, and even when it is it probably only financially. Relationally women probably have the smarts 90% of the time.

[Massageman]

Both need to share the responsibility or it's not much of a relationship.

[Mansearching]

Both "should" be equal. But it leans toward the woman.

[Nifrayu]

Of course it can be the other way around. I had a girlfriend once who was smarter than me. I actually learned a lot from her. She was very knowledgeable about science topics and seemed to have her life all figured out as well.

[DextroShade]

A relationship only ever works when the man leads and the woman follows.

[Morgador]

No, everyone has their strong points in a relationship.

[AnusNdaPainus]

Well that’s because the dumb ones are easier to have sex with

[Anonymous]

It can be the other way around. I think most heterosexual relationships are MLRs (male-lead relationships), but there's plenty of FLRs or just simply neutrally-lead relationships.

[Kayla45]

Sometimes he's the brains, other times he's the brawn. Lol. 😂

[sheikalana]

You're right in some cases the woman has a more dominant position in the relationship. I prefer my husband to lead the relationship tho.

[Djaay]

Keep dreaming. Emotional ineptitude never solves problems or is a catalyst for solution.

[SunnyRS]

Not necessarily, it depends on the person who is more calm in difficult situations.

[Jazzy54]

Not necessarily. I’ve met some pretty stupid men in my life.

[Pacquet]

I think each person plays to their strengths in a relationship. If you ever watch rally car racing it’s kinda like that.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Nope not on my relationships women let us think we're in control but we know who's really in control

[PrinceWalnut]

It can go either way. Traditionally makes the decisions regardless of whether he should be the one doing it though

[Anonymous]

if chicks had brains id never have been laid

[In_Trance]

A lot of time, yes

[Sour-rose]

Absolutely not. :) it can go either way.

[Luckycharms12]

Don't think there any brains of the relationship both have strong and weak points.

[Adaeva]

The men should be except most men are wimps.

[msc545]

Yeah, I don't think that position even considers gender one way or the other.

[Madkeyra00]

It depends on the individuals in the relationship.

[Nikki1989]

Very rarely.

[TravelingMaaike]

Evidently

[eagle1951]

not even close

[TravelingMaaike]

I didn't think so

[eagle1951]

my late wife took care of the check book and stuff. after she passed away, took me over a year to figure it all out

[Ms_Facesitter]

Every relationship is different.

[bowenw]

I think it's usually the woman.

[CallmeTheKnight]

No. He and the woman are both the brains

[Jennz6]

He thinks so lol

[Anonymous]

In my relationship he is. I'm stupid.

[MaxUsefull]

At least you’re honest

[Opinion Owner]

🤷‍♀️

[Iron_Man]

It depends on the guy or female

[Vegasrunner]

Only in one's that actually work.
