I came to this site last night because I was wondering why I seem to be attracted the most to so called 'stupid' women. It is quite strange because logically speaking, I shouldn't be. I'm a computer programmer with an IQ that equals that of Lynie's. I've grown up around strong women. My mother is a strong and intelligent woman (IQ 160) who was married to my father, a man of average intellect until the day he died. My sister is also a strong, independent, intelligent woman. Not being able to find any significant answers here, I decided to discuss the matter with my sister. Here was what we came up with: It is in reality a matter of how we are defining stupid. While the underlying theory is dubious, I think it would be useful to perhaps analyze the situation terms of left brain vs right brain personality types. Left brain dominant types are primarily analytical and logical. They trust evidence and analysis over emotion, and tend to be very well organized and prefer structure and planning. Right brain types, on the other hand, tend to be more creative and intuitive. They tend not to plan things and be much more open and spontaneous than the left brainers. Most people tend to be a mix of the two to varying degrees. To my surprise, in spite of my career, I'm actually split right in the middle between the two types, with the occasional test actually showing me as predominantly 'right brained'. Western society tends to value so called 'left brained' qualities as 'intelligent.' Right brained qualities aren't as directly useful in a high technological and technocratic society, and as such highly right brained people can easily be mistaken for 'dumb.' This view I would suspect is especially predominant among individuals who are highly 'left brained' because they use a totally different cognitive apparatus for making decisions and analyzing information than the 'right brained' types of people. The problem, though, is that right brained people have the advantage in attracting partners. People tend to be attracted to outgoing, confident, and energetic people. Left brained people tend to be reserved and can come off as bland and passionless, even if they really aren't. Right brained people are also better at divining people's emotions. They are thus more socially adept and tend to be more sensitive partners. At the same time, though, they are no less lacking in passion, drive, and independent desires than their so called 'smart' left brained counterparts. What my sister and I determined is that I am, nor have I ever been, attracted to 'stupid' women. Truly dumb women, though they can be fun, are usually boring or shallow and don't hold my interest at all. That helpless doe-eyed look is a turn off for me. Women who are sensitive, funny, passionate, creative and a bit sarcastic. They have their own dreams and goals, and the passion with which the tackle them inspires me. They may never be able to get the difference between simulated annealing and a multilayer perceptron, but they make me appreciate the world in ways I had never envisioned. They are the type of woman who can enjoy my goofy, funny, impulsive side, and I absolutely love theirs. Left brained women, though they can be extremely intelligent and nice tend not to connect with me in the same way. If they saw me in public, they would see my 'left brained' persona, a reserved and intelligent individual, someone they could respect and have a stimulating conversation with. If they saw me in private, they would see my 'right brianed' side and hence think that I was immature, stupid, and vulgar. Assuming that I am correct, I can understand the frustration. Because of my intelligence and societies biases, I was always pushed by teachers towards more left brained subjects like math and science. I was socialized to favor the left brained aspects of my personality, and as such I can come off as boring or reserved to those who don't know me. Just learn to tap into that side of you that capable of seeing the beauty in this world, and you will be fine. Then again, I might just be a little boy who doesn't want to handle a real woman. ;)

Your all wrong. Men just don't like woman like the one who posted this thread. A misandrist hating on girls? Sorry natural selection did not favor you. Keep hating the people who reject you.

American men want stupid women , this is because they are obsessed with power and one upping women and everyone. When you see the carnage American men leave behind in other countries, this tells you the mindset of these men, the conquer and divide mentality. They do not view women as sexual beings , women are either " easy " or " rigid " , one night material or marriage In fact these men are so stupid, they actually view women as exploitable not actually to be able to comprehend women as having any sexuality , women are for their use so they think How do they not know the women may be doing the same to them A woman is either stupid "easy" or rigid " wife I have avoided American men my entire life for this very reason

Love this freakin article!!My BF loves airheads but now he's with me and says Im the perfect girlfriend but yet we fight all the time becasue he says I think too much lol. His last girlfriend was a helpless, dumb, young girl who needed him for every little thing yet she meet his family shes all over his FB he respected and care for her alot and now me and him fight all the time and break up like alomost every week lol

This blog is ironic. It's an indirect attack on men, by directly attacking women. I, for one, think the reason that men like those types of women isn't simply because they're stupid. It's because they're not a big hassle when someone's looking for a fling. If "smart" women means being bitchy and critical all the time ... who the hell would want that? Seriously, where do I sign up? Do you want a bitchy and critical man? I hope not. Oh yea, and if there's a smart girl out there who isn't bitchy and critical, no man would have a problem with her. Ever. But that girl is the exception, and not the rule. If there's a smart girl out there who is carefree (like a lot of guys are), then that's awesome. I'd even argue that she's relationship material. Otherwise, single guys are naturally attracted to (and SHOULD be attracted to) the carefree, happy-go-lucky kind of woman, whether she be a ditz or not.

only stupid guys who like stupid girls..

Let me sum it up for you. Stupid girls are fun and have the ability to shut up, smart girls are not only mostly fat and ugly they also go on sanctimonious tirades every time you're trying to make a joke. You smart girls are annoying and ugly, stupid females are cute and worthwhile to have around. The denial in this thread is apparent, and the author feels jealous over the fact that she does not get male attention. All I can recommend is learning the ability known as "Shut Up" and fake tits. It might work out.

The issue here is simply statistics. It has nothing to do with being "intimidated" and everything to do with the fact that the pool of women who are a) Intelligent, b) Sexually attractive, c) Available is incredibly, incredibly small. Say you like women in the top 10% of the population for intelligence, and you'd like a girl who's in the top 25% of the population for attractiveness. Already, right there, you've reduced yourself to 2.5% of the overall population. How many of those women have boyfriends or husbands already? I would be shocked if more than 1% of women meet all three of the above criteria simultaneously.
