Now, I'm not saying I'm MENSA level genius or anything, however, I have noticed a tendency in some, not all, but a good handful of women will not give me the time of day upon the realization that my intelligence surpasses their own in some areas people of a certain pedigree would consider to be elite discussion.

Science, Philosophy, Politics, and Theology all seem to strike a negative chord with the women I've been seeing recently. While, on the other hand, I have little to no interest in topics such as the history of their personal relationships and their self interests.

Is love even possible given such friction?

I don't know about other women, but I love smart, intelligent, funny guys. But they can't be so smart that they lose all common sense. There has to be a balance.

I don't think intelligent women are put off by intelligent men. They enjoy and appreciate what they have to offer.
I think some intelligent men are sometimes a little arrogant. It is the intelligent men with out the arrogance that are the keepers!

maybe you're wording it, in a way that makes them
feel stupid, or that you're "better" than them

or maybe you feel the need to always be right

if you're as intelligent as you
claim to be, you should be able to answer your own question

Intelligence is often mistaken for arrogance. It isn't that I'm "talking down" as much as trying to "talk up" to my audience and misjudging their level of education, vocabulary, ability to think logically, or interest in devils' advocate arguments.

In a thread about oral sex, I will raise the issue of it's illegality in various states, to which many will accuse me of being a party pooper, or claiming that the law should be broken (well, which laws, all laws, or some, and if so, why?), for example.

I am actually interested in how people would react to the state's interference in non-harmful activities between consenting adults, but the discussion never reaches that level.

Alternately, if someone has a good point, but presents it rudely, I will often champion the point they are trying to make, independent of their rudeness. But, again, many can't, or won't care for the crux of the complaint of if the argument is presented badly.

Sigh.

It IS very frustrating.

It would be easy to "go with the flow" of any one discussion, but bucking the consensus view, and throwing a wrench into the common line of reasoning, is so much more illuminating. Sadly, thinking is something many do not want to do here.

"F**k or pass" indeed.

Would any sane person actually f**k a stranger?
