I'm beginning to think that intelligence can be a hindrance with MANY women.
Doesn't seem natural or evolutionary. Of course, that's just MY opinion.
Now see, me, I'd think a woman would see intelligence and experience as a real PLUS factor in that the guy ...knows.. the scams and pitfalls and can be a HELP in discussions or answering questions.
But strangely that isn't the case.
SOME are cool with a smart guy, but many many many seem to ....WANT... a "yes dear" or "I don't know anything about that" kinda feller.
I was in a relationship with a gal whose last time comment was, "You make me feel so desirable." I replied....(honestly).... that she WAS.
BAM! Last time.
I asked her what was wrong and she said I was "TOO AMENABLE."
WTF???!!!??? TOOO easy to get along with?
Is that nuts or what?
I stood up, told her I was sorry it didn't work out and left. On the way out the door, she threatened me with "if that door closes, it probably won't open again."
To which I replied, "I realize that and we agreed if it didn't work out, we'd end it gracefully and that's what we're doing.
Within a week I was getting "miss your hugs" stuff.
WTF??
Ladies, men are simple critters. Even the smart ones. If we RECOGNIZE "games" then don't play em. But knowing your guy CAN recognize and understand almost EVERY human condition shouldn't turn you against him.
SECURITY lies with ability and knowledge.
It also seems that women age but many don't realize that the elements for a relationship CHANGE with age. For one thing, "happily ever after" gets SHORTER AND SHORTER!
Is that hard to understand? Why don't more "get" it? Is denial THAT pervasive?
The gal I'm with now isn't like that. Thankfully.
But....some..... of it seems to be creeping in.
Lemme know your opinions and feedback. I'm curious.
