More likely? Hmmm, yes. For some people, intelligence stirs up the need to be correct all the time.

Then you are so correct you don't even need to apologize or make amends. There is always a ready rational excuse for your shortcomings. You rationalize it so you don't have to say sorry; no concessions necessary.

This piles up day after day.

It is hard to love a woman like this.

Confessng:
Actually true.
See a smart woman thinks she knows too much and finds it difficult to put her smartness aside to be submissive and there cant be two captains in a ship

so all women should be dumb and "submit" to men abi? Hell to the no. Those days are over and y'all need to deal with it. If you can't deal with a woman just because she's smarter than you, then the problem is with you. Go and get smart.
I hope when you have daughters, (if you do) make sure you don't send them to school so that men can find them desirable and dumb enough to be used as slaves
nonsense

trigar12:
True

If you date a girl that is very brilliant, you will never be her top priority. Na onto reading stuff alll the time, one of my frnd is dating diz kinda girl and she hardly call or message my guy. If he brings up d issue, na soso story she go dey yarn.

Hehehehehe... I just dey laff why call up someone when you know he's got nothing new to offer, same old and boring shit all the time while she's busy reading and getting updated, what's your frend doing?? Sitting and waiting to be called?

I luv smart girls. their smartness turns me on.

Amhappy:
Well if that lady is really very smart,then she knows how,when & where to stoop to conquer.

With your comment, you have given womanhood hope. The ladies who commented above you are the ones op is talking to.

A smart woman should know when and how to "hit the nail on the head" at the right time with the right force.

Thank you...

PunkyVeer:
I'm inclined to agree. Single by choice I'm assuming, because most guys are dumb & don't measure up

mtchew wetin u know sef, no b all those wey dem teach u 4 school na him u dey regurgitate.

Ara nkon ti OP sor leleyi oo. This is exactly what OP is talking about..

oyeezah:
True. dis is because most men feel intimidated by a woman who's got brains

An insecure guy will surely feel threatened. The best is to date/marry one's likes.

sonofananimal:


keep waiting for it!

ok...

ksstroud:
Pure rubbish

Pure rubbish

just as ur name

Which smartness are we talking about: Book-smart, business-smart, emotional intelligence or common sense-smart?
Any guy who date/marry a lady with at least 2 of these is very lucky.

i know guys will be claiming fact.....guys d duller u are the more likely to be single

Well. Iz jes a pity den. Smart girls can't make themselves unsmart just like pretty girls cant make themselves ugly and ugly girls cant make themselves pretty and skinny girls have an extremely difficult time making themselves fat.

my point is, even if all this lubbish is true, there's nothing smart girls can do about it so just leave them alone
did they make themselves

oglalasioux:
I'll rather be with an ugly smart woman than a very beautiful dumb one.

you are a rare breed walahi!

Adaeze003:
True... to an extent.

But false to an extent.

Smh. True amongst Naija ladies from my experience. Blame it on the guys though and deep self-esteem issues.

Estharfabian:
Very stüpid, senseless, Irrational incongruous, inconsistent, insignificant, Irrational, ludicrous, mad, mindless, Moronic, nonsensical, Nutty, pointless, purportless, purposeless, ridiculous, And Ancient Thread!

Y'all should keep Dating dumb girls...

You are English smart. Don't mind the op.

Seun:
Not true. Smart ladies always seem to be "in a committed relationship".

over skill dey kill monkey and some may want to play games that may end in a disaster.

Are you implying that to be smart, a girl should remain single or that a single girl remains smart, or that married girls are stupid...I just confuse right now

TheAziz:
yeah i agree, but i don't know why ladies can't be [b]over [/b]ambitious

That, my friend, is the problem. There's nothing wrong with being ambitious, but over... na wahala.

The assumption that smart women stay single for relatively longer periods is a myth. But every myth was birthed on the altar of an existing reality.
In nature, the smartest member of the group leads the pack. However, cultural expectations demand that a man lead the relationship. That is why it is the man who does the toasting, proposing and even impregnating
When a woman flaunts her intellect ,wealth e.t.c in the face of the man, there is a disconnect. Men are sensitive creatures with easily bruised egos and naturally want to run the show

oyeezah:

Men are not intimidated by a woman with brains; i think we are intimidated by a woman who will rub her intelligence in our face The perfect woman will be the one who is smart enough to let the man take the lead

My uncle often praised Dora Akunyili to high heavens. Why? For all her achievement and intellect, she left it by the door when she came home every day. Same goes for Chimamanda Adichie who preaches feminism to every John and Jack, but still understands the rules of engagement of the home. Those are true smart women and any man would be a fool to lose them

Nobody is smarter, we only proof to be smarter

Op is not talking about a "dumb" woman here

Its a wise woman that's smart that reads colossians 3:18 and proverbs 14:1 and understands it and makes use of it and its also a foolish woman that's smarter that reads the same two verses and understands but discards it.


A wise-smart woman guides, directs and give options to her man and then leaves him to think and make his decisions but a smarter-foolish woman will drag her man to accept only her decisions like she is also the "captain of the ship"


Guys don't want to compete with ladies they are in a relationship with. Its better ladies use their smartness to move the relationship forward and not use it compete with the "head of the relationship" so as to be the equal "head of the relationship"

Bros, I add two feathers to your red cap. That's what OP is saying but their over sabi won't let them calm down to listen and learn when and where to use their smartness...

I suppose use chief sef instead of bros....

Smart women definitely know how to snag a guy. He wouldn't even know what hit him, but will find out he's already on the way to the altar.

A smart woman will also know how to make it seem like the proposal is all the guy's idea.

Even as an intellectual (without meaning to sound immodest), there is something immensely anti-seductive and unsexy about a supposedly 'smart' woman.

A voluptuous bimbo gets the dick supercharged every time..

Maybe it has much to do with the absence of protean fluidity in most women who think that they are smart. I can easily blend into a gathering of idiots and vulgar plebeians in a local beer parlour just as easily as I can engage sharp dudes in robust intellectual discussions in an upscale environment. But 'smart' women would speak fake 'Queen's English' even to their suya man, just as they would defiantly explain to me why Mouth Action is unhealthy or why doggy style is demeaning. Who has time for such bullshit? Certainly not me.

Seun:
@sapiosexual1: Yes, men really do value smart women, especially when a marriage is the objective. There is no downside to being smart.

You don't even know how to quote!!!!

sapiosexual1:
I'm sorry buh the guys above me who think the op is right are less than smart or smart by half.
I was attracted by my gf's smartness, she is very smart and intelligent. To say the least, we're talking marriage already.
It's dull guys who feel threatened by smart girls

Your username!!!!

Hahahahahahaha ha

Not a mere coincidence!!!!!

smartness get levels. wetin your girl don achieve?

A person who is intellectual is completely different from a smart person. Most of us don't realize this simple mistake. A woman intellectually brilliant than her peers might find it difficult to settle down but a smart woman will always reason her way to the altar.

E.G- An intellectual woman- SAT score of 1950, I.Q score 125 or more, First class undergraduate degree, Suma Cum Laude Graduate degree would definitely not want to settle with an average joe!

A smart woman- graduated university with 2.2, had 3 different boyfriends in school after serving NYSC became more religious and because she's got a hot body and appealing personality is about to be married to a rich oil tycoon, engineer or politician. Life is all about perspectives!

Lol...... Why are u tagging my people eh

@bolded left her intellect at the door? So she was walking around her house like a complete mumu? And everyone should "leave their achievements at the door" of their house. Kanye West is just a husband to Kim K and Dangote is just a father to his children
