Woggle Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 First of all let me say that I don't believe too many people are stupid and incapable of learning unless their name is Sarah Palin. The women that other women deem as airheads tend to be much nicer and much less complicated. Life is hard enough without adding more difficulty to it so why would a man want to make his love life harder then it has to be. Many of these so called intellectual women with a bunch of degrees are very elitist and feel that every man is below them. They have a very snooty vibe to them and for all their book smarts they know very little about human relationships. They seem to thrive off of drama and have little to no regard for a man's feelings. If their emotions tell them to cheat they will do it and not feel the least bit of remorse about it. They will then intellectualize it. Airheads might be simple but they usually have a heart of gold and love treating a man well. In many ways they know more about life than women with a bunch of degrees. Life and love is so much easier with them and with most of them you can actually teach them about the world and show them new experiences. The moral of the story is that no matter how well educated a woman is or how independent or smart she is if she is not an easy to get along with person and does not care about treating a man well none of that matters. Men are not repulsed by independent and smart women but so many of them lack the basics that attract a man in the first place. If a woman has the basics everything else will fall into place.
Tony T Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Smart women are not all the same and neither are less educated women or airheads as you call them. An intelligent woman can be just as kind as any and an "airhead" can kick your butt like no other. I think making generalizations can be dangerous. Every woman is different, no matter what her education or background. Many of the very intelligent ones just put up a front to guard against men finding their gentle, vulnerable side.
FilthMerchant Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 He didn't make any generalisations. He basically said 'when educated women think they are superior and manufacture drama they repel men and are a pain to be around'. If educated women did not do this, they would be fun to be around. If 'airheads' did do this, they would not be fun to be around. The OP is a perfect explanation, deserves praise, and should be heeded by all women.
doushenka Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Tony, you're spot on. Intelligent women are just as vulnerable as anyone else; in a lot of ways, we have more trouble, because we're not usually conventional beauties (if we're beauties) or else we're pretty enough but don't care for the kind of game-playing that some men like. We do have souls, I promise you that, but plenty of us have been hurt, so we put up walls. I believe I've seen that in certain male LS members... ;-) And for the record? I don't think of my fellow woman as an airhead. Everyone has different strengths. Every woman I've met has had intelligence in at least one area, usually the area that interests her. "Airheads" give wonderful advice on everyday living; I'd trust one to make me over any day, or teach me how to find happiness in the little things. Likewise, I know that I was born with different talents, and that it makes me neither better nor worse than the next person.

Well I think women calling each other airheads is mostly just cat fighting competition, jealousy etc. In fact I don't even think I've ever heard a man use the term. Education, intelligence is certainly one factor when choosing a wife/girlfriend etc, its more important to some than others. Though it seems popular(for women mostly) for a man to pick someone for that reason. While other reasons are less popular and more frowned upon.
ADF Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 OP, maybe the problem is you don't want to have to deal with woman who are your equals. You spew venom all over intelligent women, then praise so-called "airheads" because they're "simple." Maybe what you really need is to wait for someone to invent a female sex android you can take out of the closet when you'r horny and pack away agin when you're done. That would be simplest of all.
TheLoneSock Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) In many ways they know more about life than women with a bunch of degrees. In which case, they would not be an airhead to begin with. I think you are confusing airheads with girls who have more life experience than they do education. The single mom who stopped going to college in order to work and care for her illigitimate child is far, far different than what I consider an airhead. An airhead to me is the ditzy, easy, lazy chick that (sometimes) comes from a rich family, and is consumed by superficiality and life's shiny bauble items. A decent example I can think of off the top of my head can be seen here, and anyone who has seen the show will know exactly what I'm talking about: http://www.mtv.com/shows/jersey_shore/cast_member.jhtml?personalityId=13196 If you haven't seen the show, or snippets of it, you might not have any idea of what I'm talking about. It should hit home especially for Wobble, since he lives in the same area and probably sees it all the time. Edited December 12, 2009 by TheLoneSock added content
calizaggy Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I see what the OP is saying, and I sort of agree. Intelligence is important to me. However, extra years at a university usually teach a woman how to think, instead of teaching her knowledge..Also spending many years at college does not make anyone more intelligent. Which means they go in as a normal, sweet girl, and come out a feminist. I have seen this happen to girls I grew up with, and talking to them after they earned a masters is like talking to a different woman. I also do not think a woman deserves a medal of honor for being a single mom..
IrishCarBomb Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 The danger of dating a smart woman: she will see through your bull**it. Uh-oh!
BookerT Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 What woggle is saying is right. But I will add it's not so much intellectual vs airheads. It's stuck up bitches vs nice girls. People generally think more highly of themselves than they really are. It's a proven fact. I was reading a piece of research where people rated themselves much higher than they rated each other in a study about how people perceived each other. Lots of smart women complain they can't get the right man, and that airheads, shallow women, insecure women are the ones that end up with so and so. At the end of the day it's these smart women that have a problem.
quankanne Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Men are not repulsed by independent and smart women but so many of them lack the basics that attract a man in the first place. Methinks men like "airheads" because they're easier to manipulate. Women who catch on to other folks' schemes (male or female) aren't as attractive to those people who are up to something. If a woman has the basics everything else will fall into place. basics = a pair of hooters :laugh:

It's that the incompetent ones think they're average, or above-average. I guess that would lend to the above-average girls tending towards humility, and therefore away from "stuck up". Perhaps, then, you should prefer smarter women?
Kamille Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I just have to contribute to this thread because I definitely and proudly qualify as a woman with lots of degrees. You're right, it doesn't make me smarter. Getting the degrees was a privilege - and also the result of a lot of hard work. And yet, I've never had problems meeting and dating great guys or even establishing loving relationships. I think this is because 'educated women' can also have hearts of gold, just like being less educated doesn't make a woman an 'airhead'. We all do what we can to get by.
melodymatters Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Just more generalizations from the Wogster, *yawn*. Nice People are nice to be around, sucky people suck....and on , and on, til the next thread !......
threebyfate Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Hi! *flips hair* Did you know they make M&Ms with peanuts in them? *flips hair*
Citizen Erased Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I've met women with degrees that are airheads. I'm not quite sure how some of them actually managed to find the building their classes were in, let alone graduate. If you want someone dumb enough to not see you for the person you truly are, all the power to you.
Jaytb Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Hi! *flips hair* Did you know they make M&Ms with peanuts in them? *flips hair* You just blew my mind waaay open. My worldview will forever be changed.
Awesome Username Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 A woman must have really low self-esteem to think that she's brilliant just because she has a degree. Almost anybody can get a degree. That's not quite as bad, but along the lines of, a guy who feels special because he's never been to jail. Low standards is the real problem. There are plenty of women with degrees that don't shove it in your face.

I also do not think a woman deserves a medal of honor for being a single mom.. I'm not sure I understand. Maybe if I put it in simpler terms: University = teaching women how to think Women who have learned how to think = feminist feminist = undesirable Women who think for themselves = undesirable Yes, of course. Now I understand perfectly.

Right, then the title of this thread should have been "Why men date emotionally stable and kind women." Not the one you stated.
Jaytb Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 *giggles* Thanks! I was thinking so hard about how they got the peanut under the chocolate and that...that...shell thing, my mind got an owie from it. But Mom always said I had a heart of gold, so I think of that and it made the owie go away. OO OO OO! I just had one of those things, a headache, with pictures! A thought? Um yeah!

Men are not repulsed by independent and smart women but so many of them lack the basics that attract a man in the first place. If a woman has the basics everything else will fall into place. Well, my recent experiences are in line with this. My ex was as educated as humanly possible - she is getting a PhD in aerospace engineering (that's "Rocket science" in layman speak), from one of the best engineering schools in the world. While she didn't have snotty attitude in an intellectual sense, she was plenty insecure, and unfortunately it showed, and more importantly - had poor relationship skills in spite of a considerable experience. My current gf has bad grammar and horrible GRE scores, likes chick flicks, and has read less books than anybody I know, but she's sweet, mellow, compassionate and being around her just produces a general sense of well being. Good relationship skills in spite of very limited, almost non-existent experience. (She is working on a professional master's degree, but she still fits the description of an "airhead", and I probably wouldn't have it any other way at this point;)). Being accomplished and intellectual and having good relationship skills are not mutually exclusive, of course, but there is also no causal connection between the two, and the latter is worth a lot more than the former. So yes, I don't really care about it. Edited December 12, 2009 by Sam Spade

So, what's the point or value of doing that? If that is true, than it strengthens woogle's point that it could create unnecessary complications. Highly accomplished woman clearly prioritizes career over relationships, so what's the point? It's either that, or she resents the sacrifices she has to make in order to actually be accomplished (i.e. like my ex).
