Some women are too full of themselves to find a boyfriend, much less a husband.
A country girl with a college degree has been my biggest blessing.
>a man factory worker turned her down for being too clever<
I’m not expert on the boy-girl thing but I’m willing to bet there were reason he turned her down that had nothing to do with her cleverness.
Student Loans. Guys arent ready money wise now a days.
What does a degree have to do with brains?
Not for anything, but when I was in prep school, the dumb jocks had no problem finding girlfriends among the honor roll crowd.
The smart guys got the “You’re a nice guy but ...” speech. Yes, it was high school, and yes, it was the early ‘80s, but has so much changed other than the ratio of males to females in college?
Where to start...
There is just too much material in this article to mock, but it would be beneath my intellectual level to go into detail - I’m just too highly educated to condescend.
It probably isn’t that they are so clever, but that they cannot stop bragging about it.
I am now 70, and finally married to an intelligent woman. In my younger years, I was physically attracted to two women who turned out to be not very bright. I was never repelled by a woman’s intelligence. But, I have never liked the company of anyone who couldn’t stop bragging about their degrees and how better they were than everybody else.
Maybe if colleges were fair in their admissions policies, and men were allowed to attend, and if men had equal opportunities in the search for jobs, then just maybe more men would be considered intelligent.
A homely girl, with lots of debt, and a degree in liberal arts with no earning potential. What’s not to like!!
How about, “Intelligent and well educated men don’t want to date a woman with an insufferable attitude.”
Wow, that sounds really unreasonable!
She says the sense of achievement derived from learning is alien to most men
Oh. I see now. Good move, factory dude.
I have tried the dating scene for the past couple years - mainly some of the dating sites. What I have found from most of the females is that they are looking for their Mr. Perfect yet most of them are too busy with other activities to actually go out on a date. Makes me wonder why they are on the dating site.
If I want “smart”, I’ll buy me an Echo.
Education sometimes gives rise to a sense of intellectual arrogance and elitism, but it might not be the only impediment to companionship. In many cases its probably just an excuse to gloss over other personal traits that are unattractive.
lol
um... here’s a hint... they are not bothered by your education... they are bothered by your feminist liberal views as evidenced by your fields of study.
When you have two PhD’s in man hating, don’t be surprised if men say “see ya!”
Denial is a very powerful defense mechanism
Genesis 3:16
Then he said to the woman, “I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy, and in pain you will give birth. And you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you.”
— New Living Translation
For all of human history, women have wanted to control men and be in charge. But this desire on their part has been frustrated. Blame the Patriarchy if you will, but human society has had men in charge basically always.
But I think American society has really swung the other way. I see a lot of bossy, manipulative, controlling women. I know women who proudly declare themselves to be “bitches”. Many actually want to be a “bitch”. It means they are powerful. It means they are in control. It means they call all the shots.
And you say these women can’t find love?
And you say it’s because they are too smart?
Well, I won’t argue. I’ll just walk away. As have so many other men.
I worked in an office back eight years ago, which came to be 60-percent women (20 individuals in the section). It was an odd development which would have been 10-percent women in the 1980s.
So as I developed working relationship with the ‘ladies’, I came to their various discussions which were bothering them. Ten of the twelve were divorced. One had wrapped up her fifth divorce....one had two divorces....the rest one each.
These were all women with college backgrounds, technical crafts, bright, etc. In most of the cases though, I came to note that each had built up various ‘filters’...things about guys that they desired and wanted to avoid. It would have been simple if there were only five filters. But these ladies had advanced to the level of fifteen to twenty filters....using their clever and smart analysis. This fifteen-process filter basically eliminated just about every single guy they came into contact with. Being 35 years old or older....that really cut the playing field way down in size.
I suggested to several of them....if you just eliminated half of your filters...you’d have better chances. They weren’t willing to accept that type of scenario. They weren’t too-smart....they simply had use this tool of analysis and built filters that eliminated just about every single guy.
Women who are too smart to have a boyfriend. Ah, it wasn’t enough to just be a member of a victim class. A new subset victim group had to be created....
