Search Results: men are more intelligent

Recently, I've been thinking a lot of the many harmful stereotypes towards people of the LGBT spectrum, especially when it comes to women. Not only lesbians but also bisexuals, pansexuals, asexual etc. because of their physical appearance, fashion choices and gender identity. Firstly, many queer femme or "feminine-presenting" girls & women are always assumed as "straight, that they only look good to attract men or at least masculine-presenting people, even though femmes can be attracted to other femmes. Never the fact that they feel that they have to come out every day, and when they do, nobody takes them seriously, not by their family & friends, not by straight men who always try to hit on them, not even by other people of the LGBT spectrum.

This short comic is a perfect example of the importance of femme visibility femme invisibility:

On the other hand, Butch or "masculine-presenting" queer girls & women also have a problem but different, including the expectations both Lgbt and non-Lgbt people, have (being strong, no emotions, people threatened by them, accused as being either a "man" or "trans" and people telling that they're ugly because they don't fit the stereotypically feminine norm, despite the fact that there's more than one type of femininity and being butch doesn't always mean "masculine". Even women who aren't LGBT and aren't gender-conforming are always assumed, perceived or accused to be lesbians despite the evidence or proof that their not.

Not many image or comic examples but here is one:

To be honest, I'm sick and tired of humans judging certain groups or others by their looks just because of how the media, fiction, books and other forms stereotype them. Humans are supposed to be an "intelligent" species, so when will they learn?

Finally, I would love to see your answers whether or not femmes or butch have it harder.

Note: I might do one for men too.

This is hardly confirmation that men are highly insecure and intimidated by an intelligent woman. I can't believe they spent money on this so they could figure out what weve all known since cavemen times that men want to have sex with hot women.

Quote from article and link below.

"Men are not attracted to intelligent women unless they are good looking, a study has found.
New research has confirmed the commonly held notion that the smarter a woman is, the less likely it is a man will fancy her.
Men are actively turned-off by cleverness, and the only exception to this is if the woman is highly attractive, a study by the Warsaw School of Economics found."

"But they discovered men placed more emphasis on physical appearance."

True. Or false?

I say this cause men are physically stronger than women

I say this cause men are mentally rougher and stronger than women

I say this cause men are more intelligent than women - men invented almost everything in the world!!!

I say this cause men have bigger brains than women
Women are no match for men's capability.
What you say?

I am very curious if the women here can confirm the following:
I have read a study that says that women are attracted to other qualities in a short-term mate (an One night stand or a short affair) than in a long-term mate:

According to the study it is simply put like this:

- With a long-term mate, the "provider" type is preferred. Therefore, characteristics such as: loving, caring, faithful, purposeful, reliable, fond of children, intelligent, conscientious, ambitious etc. are perceived as attractive. (Rather the type the woman wants to marry but would not choose for an One night stand because she is more emotional and not that much sexually attracted to him)

- With a short-term partner, more "masculine" types are preferred. According to the study, "masculine" for women is, among other things, a relatively high testosterone level, which can be seen in: angular jaws, a more dominant appearance, a deeper voice, a stronger beard growth, a more muscular body, etc. (Most women find this type of man sexually attractive and therefore choose him as their One night stand)


It is interesting to note that these characteristics, which indicate high testosterone levels, are considered as unattractive by women for a long-term relationship, as men with high testosterone levels are more likely to cheat or leave the woman and not be as caring.
As a man, you therefore have to decide whether you would rather be attractive as a short-term mate or as a long-term partner. As far as you can control that at all.
Now my question to women: can you agree to the study? or is it possible to be attractive for both (short and longterm)? Do you personally know men you would consider for both?
