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?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Women intimidated by intelligence?

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing 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.

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?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
