Do intelligent women intimidate guys?

Was just wondering....is this true ?.....even if you are the intellectual sort, would you feel threatened if you meet a girl/woman who knows more than you.......I\'d appreciate honest answers.

That\'s partly true...LwL...of course it all depends on the kind of guys we\'re talking abt here...i mean, intellectuals are not neccesarily NOT-chauvinistic...right? Either ways, I think you won\'t be getting a fair answer to such a question.

I definitely wasn\'t insinuating that intellectual guys are not chauvinistic.......in fact I\'ve met a couple of them who radiate MCPism.....but like you said it probably depends on the guy.

You mean a lady in a equal position....??
If she is in a senior position then not really. but if she is in a equal position or worse below me then yes, definitely feel some MCPism creeping up.

not to court personal opinions, but should I meet a more knowledgable gal, i would welocome her with both my arms wide open...
afterall it is the basic human nature to seek recognition, and if some body acknowledges the peoson then he has nothing ot lose but always stands to gain some thing i believe..

A Thout like this would not even cross the mind of guys of my calibre. For surely i NOR the wisest men before me found even a single intelligent women on this planet.
If any one of you consider yourself to be intlligent then I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU TO \"\"\"THINK AGAIN CLEARLY\".

you just did not get it correctly \"lamp of knowledge\"...the discussion point was how does a man react in a situation when he encounters a more knowledgable female........

request LWL not to use very high level of english, as we dont know such a good english like ur\'s

Thanks for the nice topic LWL. Here’s my two cents or paise depending on which side of the Atlantic you are from. Do I feel intimidated when I come across an intelligent person ? Yes. Do I feel more intimidated if the person happens to be a woman? A bigger Yes. Do I feel much more intimidated if the intelligent woman is beautiful? A resounding Yes!!! However it is important to note that in my domain, intimidation and admiration are not mutually exclusive. I’ d definitely look forward to thought provoking discussions with an intelligent woman. Beauty of course would be a welcome perk.

Hello milady... this is with reference to that statement regarding ur not having found anyone who matched up... u know what... the sentiment is mutual... I won\'t say no one as I have met some who have been equal, and at times cos of the fact that they\'ve lived longer, even better than me... But sans experience, never has anyone matched up... so I am not qualified to answer that question of urs... yes.. if i ever found anyone, male or female, good enuff to give me a complex, I\'d nominate him/her for Prez!!!

Hmm LWL… you opened up another can of worms. The gender issue blurring after sometime??? I doubt it! Interaction between the two genders can never be completely devoid of the sex element, the operative word being completely and not sex. I am not saying I covet every woman I talk to but my feelings when talking to friend of opposite gender are very different from the feelings that are generated when talking to guys. One of the most popular lie that goes around is “We are just friends”. Platonic relationships of course exist but only on paper and in the imaginations of film writers scripting love triangles. Again it does not mean that every man lusts every other woman that he talks to, I am saying that the gender difference is too overwhelming a factor to be ignored. If only I could describe it better Pulitzer wouldn’t be too far away.

Hello..the lady with the lamp ..!! you need to be cautious with your approach..it could have been any misunderstanding..like so many other events which occur between any couples..since u believe that both of you are equally intelligent ..its better you see things in positive aspect & get the most of your friendship...(it could have happened the other way as well..) you see ...any coin has both sides..may be you are getting the same side whenever you toss...!!!

well, so u have met someone who has lived longer than you and tuned out to be smarter. and talking about complex, dont u think that having a complex is more a projection of our own insecurities rather than real differences in intelligence. and honestly, isnt it a question of u being a better person today rather than being better than someone else, male or female? if we really could think above gender/age and factors like that, and looked at life as a competition with yourself, where the race is between, you yesterday, you today, and you tomorrow....then you r a truly mature person!!!

Hey Lady with lamp....do you have enuff paranoia in your self?.....how complacent are you with the success u have attained so far???....what makes you even think that you have not met the so called knowledgable .....n finally which certifying agency raked/graded your intelligence???.....ooof ....i hope this typical Indian attitude to feel soooo special about themselves will hopefully change......for the sake of better!!!!

Its heartening to note that people like you exist....at the risk of sounding like miss-goody-two-shoes, I think there\'s something positive to be learnt from everyone around us......I think the gender issue blurs after a certain point.....

Hello...wiser of the two....let me reiterate for the nth time that the aim of my topic is not to make a dig at the intelligence of the male gender......I would like to believe that I am an intelligent person who would like to interact with people on the same mental wavelength...unfortunately I haven\'t met too many guys who match up, but I\'m sure they exist......here\'s to my optimism....!!!

LiD.......you get complacent only when you are the best and you can be assured that I\'m not (atleast not yet!!!!).....and why on earth are you picking on my poor intelligence???........I get the feeling that you think I\'m blowing my own trumpet.......well I\'m not.....please banish such misconceptions ...and maybe u didn\'t see my reply to AWE on May 21....

Yeah, definetely. i\'ve never seen a man who appreciates the work of an intelligent girl. what i\'ve noticed is that ppl. tend to find some flaw in the girl who thay think is more intelligent than them.
As far as your question goes, yes they do.

LWL... Are you telling me that you feel EXACTLY alike when interacting with both the genders? If yes, then you are not digging deeper into yourself. If no, then you might find taking a Polygraph test a trifle embarrassing. Of course I am excluding a third possibility, as I believe Nuns do not frequent discussion boards of this nature. So please light up your lamp and chase the darkness away. The lambs may be silenced and what you will find may not be frightening after all. As a fringe benefit you might stumble onto some intelligent guys. Thanks for your wishes. I am practical enough not to forget that the odds of getting kidnapped by Martians is higher than bagging a Pulitzer.

I feel by now.., you (lwl) must have realised that an intelligent girl/woman like you should invest that talent in knowing abt those intelligent men better, as rightly pointed out by the wiser of the two..afterall you could have also misjudged that person...!!
