Lots of smart and/or successful men are married to bimbos.


Focus on your strengths. Try to look your best and be pleasant to be around. That's enough for a lot of men.


Obviously you are doing something that shows others that you aren't the smartest so I would try to limit whatever that is. Talk less? Don't try to hard to be smart? Talking less can make you seem more interesting ... sometimes less is more.


I have had bfs who dated bimbos before and it seems like they were happier with a woman who looks up to them than a woman who is on the same level and often questions their behavior.


A lot of men come home from a stressful job and all they want is a simple life at home. They have their intellectual conversations with friends and at work and all they want is an uncomplicated wifey to come home to.

Yeah, Donald Trump did it three times.

I do love intellectual conversations, but the problem is most women are not smart enough for that.

Suppose a man has two options, a woman who believes she is very smart while she isn't, and a woman who admits she is not smart enough to challenge her husband.

To make things worse, when a woman has the false perception that she is smart, she is more likely to be arrogant. Do you prefer an arrogant stupid woman or a humble stupid woman?

More likely than not, the man will choose the latter.

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I'm not the dullest either. I try to stay abreast of current events but I also find the news depressing so I limit how much I watch. Its almost like if I slip up and say something smart they gasp under their breath a little.
One of my favorite tv shows is still The Golden Girls. Whenever I tell guys this like clockwork the first thing they do is laugh and say "that's who you remind me of...Rose!" Then I'll get upset and they'll say "no your nativity is cute." I'm 32!
Another thing is that these guys want to sleep with me but aren't usually trying to pursue anything serious as we get older. Reading this back is really embarrassing so please don't go to hard on me.
Staying abreast of current events doesn't make you smarter or duller.

You said something smart....and, you reminded them of Rose. Are you sure you said something smart?

Depends on what I am looking for at the time of dating them and what they want from me.

"In general" probably not, but I wouldn't rule it completely out since I could see myself in situations where I may not be looking for serious commitments fitting in to this scenario

That is not to demean anyone who may be considered "a bimbo" or call them a lesser type of human being, it's just that in the context of "relationships" I don't want to create something serious with serious consequence and direction in life with someone who has a propensity to never think or be that way.

How did you arrive at that conclusion? This value judgment can also be applied to a lot of men, correct?

Neither. Find a woman who actually has brain meats and can hold her own.

Like legit arrogance? I would think most would choose another option.

Do you mind me asking why this is bothering so much what other people think?

Thank you
