That's true. It's better to lie to a guy about how smart you really are. It's better to hook 'em first and after the wedding let him find out the truth.

Like I said, lie to the guy. That's holier than appearing smart.

I used to visit a friend in my teens who lived in a very rural area. Her daddy was very involved in politics in that area and he loved it when I'd argue politics with hiim.

I grew up in a home where we were never discouraged from thinking for ourselves and expressing our opinions.

I grew up around "traditional" type of men but I wouldn't say any of them were too worried or intimated by intelligent women.

Educated does not equal intelligence in my opinion. And both kinds say and do dumb things in spite of their intelligence and/or education.

Common sense is one of the smartest kinds of intelligence there is.

Thank you! Of course, my husband and I think she's the best, but we might be a tad prejudiced. I posted some pics on the Gabby's thread.

Nope - not this one.

I think that intelligent men appreciate and recognize intelligent women and intelligent women appreciate and recognize intelligent men and they're not intimidated by one another.

Now, isn't that intelligent?

They just don’t have the mind for thinking.
