Are guys less attracted to smart women?

This is probably going to seem a bit inflammatory, hence the red lettering.

Keep reading!

From my personal experience, I would sway toward, a yes. As in, YES. It seems that guys are less attracted to smart girls, chix, women, etc.
Maybe, it's not so much that they are not attracted to a smart woman. Maybe, it's the guys who let their insecurity rule them, who are not attracted to smart girls. :)
Afterall, a more intelligent woman will call him on BS that a less intelligent woman might not notice or she might let him slide more often.
Sounds like a lose-lose situation to me, 2 losers, there.

I digress.

Interestingly, a prior BF pointed out to me that a smart girl or woman is more difficult to control. He said it, not me!

Guys, as much as you may loathe hearing this, most guys have the need to control, to a lesser or greater degree. 
Most military guys, guys in more male dominated professions have more guys who have the need to control their woman and their world.
This doesn't make them bad, as long as it's not too excessive, it just makes them human. Guy type humans, who I love!

A woman who is in charge of herself, her finances, her career. A woman who has an intelligent mind with sharp thought processing capability scares the helloutta most guys.
If she is sharp enough & confident enough to call him out on his crap, it will make him squirm a bit which, let's face it, isn't very comfortable for anyone unless you're a worm!

Guys, I get it. 
Girls/Women can be very intimidating to a guy/man.
The more you're attracted to her, the more intimidating she is.

A smart girl?
Terrifying!
Forget trying to control her.
She has you by the short hairs just by looking back at you when YOU look at her.

A guy with confidence might still feel intimidated, yet, hallelujah! 
He will STILL approach her, talk to her, compliment her.

A single guy with enough confidence to overcome this intimidation is the best kind of guy. They are actually very rare.

Why?

Because the guys with confidence usually get married younger & most often, tend to stay married or stay married the longest.

I don't consider myself to be threatening, intimidating or even a highly intelligent person, however......................
Yeahhhhhhh, you felt this comin' up the tracks, hmm?

Having been told by many guys that they find me a bit intimidating due to my abilities & experiences:

Speaking multiple languages
World travel experience
Life experience
Self Confidence

It seems like those factors would make someone more attractive, not less appealing?

Guys!

The world would be a bland place to live without you.

Can't live without the men in the world.

Take heart, be confident! Often, the ladies are just as intimidated by you!

XOXO
