This is a spin-off of my most recent thread on whether a man will find a woman sexually desirable if she possesses an equal or superior intellect to him (

That thread became bombarded with comments relating to consideration of why a woman believes that she is "intellectual," rather than focusing on the male response to women whom THEY deem as intellectual. So, I thought I would start a separate thread to address the question that the majority of people apparently want to answer: why a woman claims or is perceived to be intelligent.
The predominate view I'm gathering by many posters here is that if a woman is intelligent she is either (1) insecure and/or (2) unattractive.
So, now's your chance! Give all your psychological considerations as to why a woman claims or is perceived to be intelligent! Is it because she wears glasses and not enough make-up? Is it because she is so insecure with her intellect that she feels the need to impress everyone around her with her extensive vocabulary? If an intellectual woman knows she is intellectual, does that automatically indicate that she is insecure? When you imagine said woman, is she generally unattractive? Can a woman really be intellectual without her being perceived as one of these two things viz. insecure and/or unattractive?
The only rule I ask that you follow is to stay on topic! If you are a man and want to talk about why you don't like dating intellectual women: go to my previously mentioned thread and post! This thread is entirely dedicated to what is assumed when a woman claims and/or is perceived to be intellectual.
Give all the stereotypical and/or psychological explanations that you want--just please be tactful!
