Why are you even asking this question? Everyone's going to say that they prefer women with brains, regardless. You *know* that.

Hmmmm...it might just be me but I am oft discouraged by people telling others that something specific, especially aesthetic is wrong with them. Especially if it's a woman because I feel women often try very hard to "be compliant", "please others" and "change themselves" due to insecurity.
I'm not saying OP is any of those things, she seems to be a very confident, smart and strong young lady. This is more of a personal statement in regards to "we are the reason we attract assholes".
All women have dealt with those types at some point in her life, especially if she possesses attributes that make her "stand out".
"lose weight, get boobs, lose boobs, straighten hair, curl hair etc etc. (stealing these references from a blogger's signature I liked).
I think we're fed enough of that on a daily basis. We get it, there is always room for improvement. But there's no need to make someone think "something is wrong with how they perceive you initially" as the answer.

I have found that in the business world, men do not take aesthetically attractive women seriously intellectually. A lot of times they try to treat you like a stupid child (this was especially when I was younger). It may be a form of sexism/ageism. For some reason, a woman disagreeing with them is so emasculating they freak out. No kidding, I even had a sub who did that. It was the most amazing thing to see how upset he would get and start googling his little heart away, LOL. Not that it ever stopped me from speaking my mind. :)
I remember at the end of 2008 I was asked to pick a stock and well, any stock was a winner but I picked Caterpillar. It septupled in two years. But February 2009 my friend called me. Caterpillar went from $28 to $22 per share. So he was taunting me (He is a lifetime investor). He still says "the last thing she told me is to invest in Caterpillar" LOL.
Personal experience, I have only had one man admit I was smarter than him and we had a lovely vanilla relationship. :)
PS: I'm also pretty strong, (well my legs are) and it intimidated my small asian friend because she's 5'1 and I'm 5'9. I was bulkier then though, I'm pretty slim though I legpress more than really muscular girls but it's not intimidating. Subs, YES, they are always feigning/are intimidated. :)

I've talked to a lot of submissive men on here who seem to appreciate my intelligence. Keep looking. Like others have said, there are lots of guys who know the value of a smart woman and find intelligence sexy.

Don't feel bad for us! Most of us will simply WALK away or attempt to get in her panties and leave her as soon as possible.

Dude. Seriously this is the kind of attitude that makes all men look like fucking idiots. Try using I and Me statements, OK?

Actually.... I appreciate comments like his for two reasons...

One... It separates me from guys like him.

Two... It separates woman who believe shit like that and those that just peg it on him!


It's actually a win-win from my perspective

I find your stance interesting due to the fact that the post I was responding to talked about women who pretty much lack personality in every sense of the word. With that said, what would normally happens to women or men that might come off as rude, superficial, and narcissistic?

Your experience may very well differ but mine has been that those individuals often complain about the sort of people they attract. They usually blame all their partners or the opposite sex for being "x, y, and z" without doing any retrospection to their behavior or mentality.

Now, would I attempt to get in some girls (the term girl is being used to describe women who act like the above) pants? Probably not because I don't have the patience to deal with their attitudes. However, I do not feel bad for those women (or men) because lack of personality don't deserve mine or anyone's respect.

So, if some guy uses them then whose fault is it: the guy that only cares about getting laid or the immature women that hates men and come off as a cunt? Again, that was the post I was responding to.

Good day

Would you agree or disagree that within the current vanilla culture, males of lower intelligence rarely ever elevate themselves from "the friend zone" with strong females possessing superior intellect?

OK. Since you do not understand what I did not like about your statement I will try to explain. I knew what post you were responding to. It was not a personal attack, but rather just Me asking you to use I and me statements. It was the generalization of men that I took exception to, not the context of what you said (saying ALL women are sluts because My ex-wife cheated on Me is an example. They are not, which is why IMO, it is wrong). We are all entitled to our opinions, and if you read some of My other posts, freedom of speech is pretty important to Me, and I try My best to not use that as a weapon to browbeat people. I am human, which means I am not always successful at this.

I can tell from your writing that you are intelligent. This is a plus in My book. I understand why you say that a lot of people complain about who they attract, like somehow it is the other persons fault. Some people do and that is a fact. Problem is that, those are the only ones most people read (either to make them selves feel better or just because it is human nature to watch these "train wrecks"). I make no bones about who I am attracted to. I accept that there is a certain personality I find attractive (yes, intelligent and strong is part of it, the whole person concept (side note to DS, I put MY own definition on "strong" without a definition added in someone's writing, and that is a woman who knows who and what she is). We all have our differences in what we see as problematic, and I would never impose that on You).

Keep in mind that it is not just women who get used in the context of what you are saying. It happens to men as well. To assign blame or fault is part of the problem. I don't know what happened to them growing up (something that shapes every human being out there), or if they were beaten down so bad that they believe they deserve all they get (there are numerous examples, so these are but a couple). Hope you stick around. I have a feeling we may actually have some interesting conversation and/or debates.
