Men this quetion is for you

Yes when it was against the law to educate a female(back in the dark ages) women had to hide their knowledge and or their forbidden studying. Society strove to dumb women down in centuries past with no recognition of the resource that they were denying themselves. Now the modern world has evolved to the degree that it is willing to admit that intellect can be found in anyone. Women are now redefining our roles in society and we are taking our rightful places as your equals and in some cases your betters. Margaret Thatcher the former prime minister of Great Britain was a brilliant woman who ran Great Britain in famous style from 1975 throught the Millenium. The woman holds two degrees one in Chemistry and the Other in Law. How many men do you think are the equal to her blazing intellect? This daughter of a Chantham shopkeeper who attended Oxford University on scholarships. Do you truly feel that your mind is the equal to hers?

actually friend , it will some how difficult to understand that except physically structre there is not other difference in man and women , and all other things are same even the thinking also ,but you feel difference due to teaching what you have taught by your society and my friend there is nothing other difference between man and woman and nowadys woman are proving this thing in every field of world where in olden days its waa a tradition that only man can do that thing woman not, and you can better understand that since you are from such a society but since I am from indian society so I am still watching this thing in out society but now thing are changing also here and hope in coming days here also woman get prove her self in the society ...

Btw, i liked your efforts to let people feels the importance of smartness trough your profile pics. Definitely they are the demonstration of how much confidence a woman can have about his smartness to attracts men ;)

It depends upon where you are from and how women are taught and brought up also. In many countries where women are still chattel and are treated like children first by their families and then by their husbands, mothers teach their daughters that men don't want a smart girl with any ambitions other than to bear and raise children for them. I have heard of many men choosing not to marry a girl from that culture because she is too smart and they think that home and family and nothing more will rankle and serve to make her unhappy. They could care less about her unhappiness they just equate that to them being made unhappy by them and so they avoid them and seek someone whom they find more "suitable" to the life that I have alluded to above. If a woman with intellect is what you want, seek her, court her, and marry her before she gets away!

That is also true, and often overlooked by many people. There is no one on earth not even a child that you can't learn or relearn something from. I think that the knowlege that someone is smarter than you is something that comes over a person slowly over time. I also think that it is cumulative. If someone is smart in only one subject they are either very narrowly configured mentally or they are some kind of savant with special needs. Most intelligent people prefer to be well rounded and knowledgable on a number of subjects rather than specializing.

I would also be interested in a well rounded person, some one that knows a little bit about everything thing, but not to the point were they are conceded

That is a very mature way to look at things, and it is a huge improvement over other ideologies a man could adopt. Yes you hope that you are the equal of or better than the things that life has in store for the two of you. YOu also hope that these trials bind you closer together rather than creating a gulf which will seperate you over time. Intellect is a dividing line between people regardless of what they may say. But two intelligent people in a relationship can only be a good thing right?
