ZOE How do you write women so well?
MELVIN (as he turns toward her) I think of a man and take away reason and accountability.

She was looking over your shoulder...wasnt she....
LMAO....
And most men will tell you that SANITY is more of a deal breaker than anything.
Dingdingdingding!
I have always been dumbfounded by the number of accomplished, successful, high-income women, both single and married, my wife knows who actually live their lives as if their "feelings" are a credible indicator of their personal security.
"Oh, there's no need for that: I feel safe."
My wife and I have become like broken records: "You're 'feelings' don't have a G-d damn thing to do with it, lady!"
And I'm suppose to think these people are 'smart?'
Oh for Pete's sake! Are you talking about the "saran wrap" thing? That turns a guy on? Good lord, that's weird! I'd rather be at the door in a slinky piece of lingere with a rose between my teeth! Sounds a bit more sensuous than saran wrap- cripes, I'm not a piece of chicken!
i like stupit women okay

The logic of FReepers continues to amaze every day.
Men don't ask these questions when we show up with a new pair of Guccis or a new wool suit, etc.
And any man who wants a stupid woman, is no doubt on the low side of the IQ scale himself.
We talk about your work how your boss is a jerk
We talk about your church and your head when it hurts
We talk about the troubles you've been having with your brother
About your daddy and your mother and your crazy ex-lover
We talk about your friends and the places that you've been
We talk about your skin and the dimples on your chin
The polish on your toes and the run in your hose
And God knows we're gonna talk about your clothes
You know talking about you makes me smile
But every once in awhile
I wanna talk about me Wanna talk about I Wanna talk about number one Oh my me my What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see I like talking about you you you you, usually, but occassionally I wanna talk about me I wanna talk about me
We talk about your dreams and we talk about your schemes
your high school team and your moisturizer creme
We talk about your nanna up in Muncie, Indiana
We talk about your grandma down in Alabama
We talk about your guys of every shape and size
The ones that you despise and the ones you idolize
We talk about your heart, about your brains and your smarts
And your medical charts and when you start
You know talking about you makes me grin
But every now and then

That "saran-wrap" bit reminds me of the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes". When Kathy Bates' character meets her husband at the front door in the afore mentioned "wrap", he thought she had lost her mind. I'm afraid my husband would have a similar reaction!
Not all women with high IQs work after they get married/have a baby.
I found that some smart men don't like smart women, but they are usually arrogant jerks I wouldn't want to date anyway.
Younger men are also more insecure about smart women. I had a therapist once (yes, I went to therapy for awhile because my ex-husband was crazy- go figure) tell me when I was in my 20's to watch out for men in their 20's, because they were insecure and preferred dumb women. He said he had many patients that had married stupid/superficial women when young and were stuck with them when they had finally matured. Although I stuck with men in my age group (husband is 3 months younger), I found this to be true with guy friends of mine as we all aged.
Also, (and Camille Paglia wrote about this way better than I ever could), it is interesting that "blue collar" men seem less intimidated by smart women than a lot of "white collar" men. When young, I was smarter than a lot of (ok most) guys I went to school with, but I ended up dating the "bad boys" because they liked me for who I was. My husband is a reformed bad boy and likes me smart and feisty.
I am not a bitter hag, either, just sharing observations. I have never been single for long, so it's not been a problem for me in a long time (since high school). A woman who complains that men don't like her because she's smart probably has a stick up her rear and is too much of a snob to look around and to see the ordinary guy who adores her for her brains. She probably also has not cultivated other parts of her personality, as she thinks her intellectual superiority should be her key to success in love.
Take that statement to an extension.
"My wife is smarter than me am.
Sean Hannitty school of grammar?
We're disagreeing again. LOL
You and a few others here are either joking, or you're a bunch of babies. Scared of smart women, are ya? ;^)
That's funny. After we were married, my wife and I found out we had exactly the same I.Q.
Of course, after twenty years, you'd think that's because we have the exact same brain, too ;o)
huh?
'cultivated other parts of her personality..'
Are you a Milorganite wholesaler ?
He'd walk all over a wimpy wife.
