Do you think men like women with less knowledge than them?

I actually thing that everyone knows something more in a subject than someone else. Now my boyfriend isnt the best speller or great in other things and im better in things that him and now he better with alot more things than me. I went to college and he didnt do i have more of an education then him in the first place so sometimes it kind of works out for the bet of us in a way. He is a auto mechanic and i truly do not know a thing about changing oil in a car, now i do know what a radiator, a water pump is and a header in a car and stuff like that so if someone were to talk to me i could probably understand some things about a car if i needed to now that he has taught me alot. I also know more things about lowered cars and cars that might be in the fast and furious but thats just the type of cars that he likes and what he likes to work on.

While it is true that men like to be in control of everything, men have more respect for a woman who has something on their heads besides clothing and jewelry. If you are equipped with some knowledge on the specific areas where your man happens to have an interest in, you can certainly have conversation not necessarily confined to inane matters. Some men I know like intelligent women even if not so attractive by normal standards. However, it is still important to allow your man to feel as if he is in control of everything even if in truth we women are still the ones in control.

I do believe that most men like a woman that has less knowledge than himself. The boyfriend might be clever and the girlfriend might be average. A boyfriend likes to teach his girlfriend things. That applies to young couples in particular. I am highly educated having been to university. I work as a primary school teacher. I like a vegan man and that impresses me.

Not all men are alike. Every men do have their own preference. I think we shouldn't generalized the idea that all men would like women who are less knowledgeable than men. Some men would prefer to be in a relationship with women who are more knowledgeable. If I am a guy I prefer a women who is passionate when it comes to learning.

Well I think it depends on where you live and such due to overall cultural differences. Now in my opinion based in the U.S., I think men do. There are very intelligent women out there who will dumb themselves down in order to "attract" a man. Its really sad. The worst comes from men who believe stereotypes because then they go after girls they believe have lower respect, lower IQ, and so on because I guess it makes them feel better. I do think some of that is a woman's fault though and yeah.. this is coming from a woman. lol. I mean after all a lot women will date a guy who just happens to have a nice car because that means he has money or they think he does. Then it becomes well guys like that don't like women with brains. All you see on TV for most people in this country is society-modified 'pretty' women who seem to fall off the radar the moment anyone realizes they are smart or have more to them. I think its really really sad. A man who grew up in a household where the male was the head of household may be intimidated or even feel emasculated because a woman is smarter or makes more than they do.

There might be some men who prefer to be with women who have studied less then them or are less knowledgable because they want to be one in control of their relationship or be the "superior" one in the couple. However, I feel that most men want someone who is more compatible and someone who is a good match with them in regards to their education and knowledge so that they have a good understanding of each other. Lookind down upon the other partner in a relationship will not make that relationship last for very long...

I'm more intelligent than my husband. he'd tell you that himself. he likes that if he isn't sure about something he can ask me and I'll probably be able to tell him. I would say that from what I've seen, most women are in charge of the relationship, and men tend to be happy with that.

hi safety rednecks perhaps but most thinking men and my own husband told me this, want a woman who is intelligent and not a bubble head brainless twit. the men who want the twits are usually older men who just want arm candy and do not mind if her IQ is less than her bra size.I think it goes this way. The higher the IQ in a man the more likely they are to like women with equal brains. The lower the I Q the more the men look for beautiful brainless bubble heads who will simper up at them and yes them all the time. I think intelligent men look for intelligent women myself.They have enough brain power that they are not afraid of women who are equally intelligent. I think it depends on the man myself as to what he thinks of women not as smart as himself. [em

For some, really men prefer women with less knowledge than them because they will feel no insecurity at all. The man feel so dominant in many ways.. His words are rules to be governed.. But, the question here is " what if the man like a woman with a less knowledge just to manipulate the relationship in a way the woman will never know the infidelity of her husband? or actions that may be used against him? or whatever reasons are.. I guess, the social norms about man and woman functions have big part in this issue why men do prefer women with less knowledge,, To make sure that their wives are at home and do all the chores? or to make sure that all their wives activities are limited? either if they will be allowed to work or stay a full mom ? we really do not know what is the real thought in man's mind why he opted to have that selection having a woman with less knowledge? Does not they know? the actions of their thinking? If they will choose a woman with less knowledge?How can the woman performs her duties well being a mother and a wife in a family ? so this is the answer to that.. THAT a man must not ask or seek to many tasks or demands to his wife if he opted to choose only a less knowledge woman.. If he desires too, then do not expect much but teach his wife to learn more to what he wanted to be in the family... Usually, they like women with less knowledge but they do not know the actual consequences or effects it may happen to them so they must not regret their choices.. THese men only shows their discrimination towards other women and by far they do not want women who are more knowledge than them so that it will not affect their human egos or whatever reasons they have..

In many cases, I do think that is really the case. But I really do think that the road does run both ways as well. There are many women who don't like to be made fools out of by men. So really there is a lot of self esteem issues and some egoism just flowing right on both sides of the gender line to say the very least. It is not a cut and dry situation with one way or another. There are controlling people in both sides of the gender line. Some women tend to like a man that they can manipulate very well. Some men like women who are ideal to mold. It is just the way things are. Of course, eventually the other party might gain some degree of intelligence and things are not just going to not end rather well. But I think that both genders enjoy superiority.

yes, some men like it since they become dominant and like to act above then men. intellectuals women makes them afraid especially those with higher degree and job position with a good career of advanced education. they felt their pride getting trampled so most of the time they prefer to mingle or settle with woman of lesser affluent.

Some people think that way. For me, I would prefer someone of the same level. I don't believe that only one is person is in control of a relationship. it should be a partnership, meaning: both partners give and take. When it comes to knowledge, I prefer shared knowledge. There might be somethings he knows and i don't, and some things I know better than him. I don't think it's good to rely on a smarter or more knowledgeable partner all the time. That is an advantage but there's a possibility that when you are less knowledgeable, that partner will underestimate you and manipulate you. Equality is very important for me in a relationship.

Well, from my point of view, every relationship should be based on equality to really function properly. And I think that men who prefer to be in "control", just showing their insecurities. And also, it's important influence by social surrounding. In some societies, traditionally, man have more rights. And for me, even though I'm a man, it's wrong, since more rights brings more obligations. In short, modern man, with enough self-confidence, and secure about himself, would look for a woman who is equal partner in relationship. That's means that he will accept that woman is better or more successful in some areas, as long as they both equally contribute to their relationship.

No way! Well as everything, there are exceptions in life, no one is the same. But yes, personally I love "nerd" girls or extremly intelligent ones with lots of knowledge.

I'm probably naive about these things since I have really thought that men no longer think this way. I've always thought that what makes someone attractive for us men is a woman who also has brains. And sometimes we find women who are smarter than us attractive. It's really great to talk to someone who could relate to you. I mean, if a man is gonna get married, I think he'd want to spend his whole life with someone he could converse with without having to explain each time he says something. Well, this is what I think. I think those men who like to be domineering have some issues with themselves.

hi safety, before i even type a letter in my response, i ask my husband if your question is true..he answered I DON'T THINK SO.. i as why, he said that it will depend on the type of guy. As for my husband he would prefer women who knows a lot or who have the same knowledge as him cause it would be so frustrating that you still needs to teach her, when you are supposed to be learning together. I agree with my husband. i have had an ex who really hates me showing more knowledge on a certain topic than him.. every time i show that i know more, he will always find a way to insult me, which is not healthy for me and our relationship..as a result, he became my EX..have a nice one dear..

Some men prefer a woman with lesser knowledge but most of my friends prefer a woman with a brain also. Someone they wouldn't be ashamed of infront of the societies. Even if a woman is not so beautiful outside, she becomes beautiful in the eyes of a man if she has a brilliant brain.

Men feel stressful if their girlfriends or his wives are more educated and know more than them, or earn more money. They like to control everything, so they would like choose women with less knowledge than them.

I don't think men like less knowledge women. I know men like to control in everything, but I am pretty sure that they prefer smart women.
