I'll probably get flamed by some just by asking this question but for some time now I've been finding it to be mostly true. Women swear that men are the ones afraid of intelligent women but I believe it's the females who feel threatened. Why is this?
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Women intimidated by intelligence?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
After many years of GIRL POWER and getting built up as the more intelligent gender, chicks are terrified of men who make them look dumb. Men OTOH don't mind it so much as it's socially acceptable nowadays for a guy to appear dumber than his girl.

they aren't intimiated by it.
they just aren't attracted to it.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Intellilgent men can't relate to the general populace[in manycases]. It is the lack of social intelligence that is the problem.BUT, when you are 40 IQ points above them, you need to "dumb down" your conversation-does the average person talk smart with the retarded table washer in the mall, or dumb it down? Unless you are trying to beat it into them all the time that you are smarter then they are[don't like it when a woman tries it with me,they don't like it either], it isn't a problem. It should be an additional plus for you.
BUT NEVER talk about what you learn here, it can be used,but never discussed-you'll just piss them off.

Yes and no. Yes because no one like its when a person is talking over their head. No because there are women out there who actually like a guy who is intelligent since he can usually figure out stuff that gets them out of tight situations. The thing is not to rely on your intellect as an attraction; rely on the use of it to create attraction.

i think alot of people are overestimating how "smart" they really are.
I seriously doubt everyone here is "vastly" superior as far as intelligence to the general population.
I am conidered to be pretty darn smart and I have an IQ of 134. That's a little above avg but it's not anywhre near these 40 points higher than the general poplation, etc.
I by no means think I'm the most intelligent person here, but I'm not chopped liver either.
Also smart is relaitve. If you have an "IQ" of 150, and you work at wendy's and live with mom, just "smart" are you?
Being able to predict the next number in a sequence or predict the next triangle that will be shaded has little to do with real world intelligence. Has little to do with matuity, patience, understanding, social skills, work ethic, persistance, etc

What are we exactly talking about?
abstract intelligence?
emotional intelligence?
common sense?
level of education?

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
