Knowledge will earn you respect but not a husband.

- Jane Austin


Hmm, it's not always true, but times a many you may seen that guys just don't like smarter girls.

Shirin, I have no doubt that your intelligence and liveliness attracts many guys.

As a smart gal, you can make the guy that you love fall in love with you, or at least you can try! Intelligent guys do the same thing, so why any difference? :)

i think girls are wired to desire "knowledge" and "strength". although guys respect the strength and knowledge in others, most of them are not yet past the fondness and competitiveness that doesn't allow them to take a "liking" to a person who possesses such qualities. they are probably wired more to "respect" and "fear" than to "respect" and "admire" :))

but don't take this too seriously, it's just a theory from social experiments ;-)

Very cool theory! In didn't know you have a hand social sciences! :p

BTW, I say you can attract your beloved guy (I use this as a virtual term, no matter he really exists for now or not) relying on your intelligence. Your theories in understanding guys, which arise from your thinking mind, are a part of effective use of your intelligence in attracting him.

I'm sure you acknowledge that guys are so varied in this dimension of "knowledge/strength tolerance!", as the girls are also quite diversified in many mental attributes. But even if you want to use this specific theory, there are several fine ways to utilize it. I don't say at all that one should pretend being weak or less strong than her beloved guy to attract him, or provide fake admiration to him. I hate that when some girls do this. There are always cool,respectful, ethical(!) ways to use intelligence! :-)

Sorry it went so long!
