Men don't like smart women

And why that could be a gap in the market.

I’m super curious about this from your wife’s perspective. If your intellect didn’t impress her, what made her fall for you?

I dated a dumb woman once. Easily bottom quartile in IQ. That relationship didn't last long.

Asim, I've always admired your topic selection and this one's something I've discussed with friends, elders and younger for years. My wife is also somewhat smarter than I am (she got a place at Oxford, and I merely went to Imperial). I married her on the basis of our mutual appreciation for the brilliant comedian Stewart lee (there weren't any hijabi, family oriented girls who could appreciate his nuanced comedy) as it told me a lot about how her mind operated. 16 years of marriage later and we are stronger than ever. She does an incredible overseeing the kids' studies, managing finances and optimising aspects of family. What she admires about me is tenacious, risk taking, aggressive ambition, opportunism and 'take not ask' attitude whilst being the best gentleman I can. She will overintellectualize and occasionally talk herself out and I will just take action and adjust to the consequences. Instead of competing with each other we are blissfully co-CEO's of our lives and it's a joy.

Yes when you are intelligent, some men don’t like it and make sure you know about it by making you feel that you used your intelligence for weapons. Well that ain’t true and my partner is one of these man who feels intimidated by it and don’t want to admitted. So arguments take place and now I can’t deal with him no more but I love him and don’t know what to do . If I tell him what I just wrote, he will get so mad 😡. Please can I have an advice. Merci

Is it that they don't like intelligent women or they simply don't like someone that's competitive and intimidating?

I would literally have to date a legit Genius to not outshine the common man's intelligence.

“ MEN DO NOT LIKE SMART WOMEN “ …….WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU IS THAT YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO SAY IT !!!! WISHING YOU THE BEST .

I in fact do like intelligent women. Hence that's why I'm single and quite happy being so. However, dumb men need love too and their are plenty of choices for them to choose from who won't make them feel insecure.

You are so smart you don't need to be intellectually intimidated by anyone

suggestion - since these are in line with what is there on quora, with video as a powerful tool, please show the insights through recorder videos as to how you manage the daily routine of your kids homeschooling and learning exercises - we don't want to infringe privacy but I will replicate this on my Sister's children. Secondly if the same insights as to how you make and manage startups and hiring decision, with videos involving not just monologue may be. Theres ample scope for all this on YouTube since there are very less content on this and obviously very less people as capable. Also thanks for enhancing my perspective so far, with your experience.

You talking about being smart on a field this have nothing to do with being really smart in life!!!

[Athirdofthem]

I dated a woman who was not as intelligent as me and I ended up leaving her. However, I don't want a woman who is more intelligent than me, I believe that couples should be of equal intelligence. Masculinity is what makes a man want to provide security (not necessarily always financial) and a woman being way more intelligent can interfere with that. It is better to be equally yoked.

If you have a smart wife. Do homeschooling instead of making her spend her life serving CEO(generally what happens) and her neglecting her role of Mother which is already quite neglected due to over use of technology
