are men attracted to intelligent and successful women? a study answers that question.

Back to the REAL TOPIC...

Interesting theory, Thump. So if it's a male hardwire, explain the men who don't feel threatened by intelligent women.
What about the men who expect their women to earn a living, thus encouraging the risk of independence?

I don't believe it's hardwiring, l think it's social condtioning, brought on by a misguided desire to control his woman.
A true male female union l believe, is defined as yin and yang, team work, supporting and encouraging your partner to be the best person they can be, egos left at door.

 

A man who gets it.

 

OMG ... My mistake .... Sorry

 

I can bring home the bacon... Fry it up in a pan and never ever let you forget you are a man

 

You cook, I'll clean.........easy day.

 

Agreed I addressed that, I think the chosen career definitely influences the behavior.

 

That's so hot. What man wouldn't LOVE that!

Someone please clone him.

 

LOL!

 

It's easy for us to believe that the concept of men being supportive and encouraging to women started in our modern era, but that simple isn't the case. Just because primitive societies strictly enforced gender roles, it doesn't mean that it was all about abuse and oppression. Even in ancient tribes, men and women were complimentary to each others strengths and weaknesses.

The reason some men don't have any issues with intelligent and independent women is because the human mind doesn't always interpret everything the same way. For example: Men are biologically programmed to enjoy looking at attractive women, but what each man considers to be attractive can differ from man to man.

So even though the desire to be the 'leader of the pack' exists in every man. Not every man will interpret and react to his primate impulses the same way.

Now having said all that, I am very aware that some men are just asshats who enjoy dominating women, but those guys don't represent the bulk of men.

 

Yes

 

I've been watching it it's interesting but confirms a lot of the bs I hate about my area lol

 

U did see when I said about a date.

You will complain that hes indecisive and cant cimplain. So basically what im saying is from the start you want traditional roles. You want a man to be a man......decisive. Show that he can be a leader.

 

I'm enjoying it. I like the coaches and the women seem to be taking the advice seriously. I can identify with Monet. But Tennesha.... She better learn what she needs to learn. Lol. She'll lose what seems like a good guy.

 

Amen to that.

I doubt this is a Brother issue.

 

Agreed. It's part of the culture here though. Since there are so many people so many suffer from bigger better more syndrome. So instead of appreciating what's in front of you people nit pick. Not a fan of most of the women but I do appreciate they're willing to put in the work.. everyone but Jae. I think she may be too young.

 

But Jae is a wounded bird even at her young age. And if she wants to have children, she needs to figure herself out soon. Monet is 32 and that clock is ticking like a gong in her head.

 

I believe that if an intelligent man who is secure, wouldn't settle for a woman who WASN'T intelligent or successful. There should be no competing. Being on a similar intelligence level is most important for both, men and women. I know for a fact, good looks not accompanied by intelligence gets BORING!! :smt015

 

Yep!! I'll take average and smart/interesting any day.

 

Co-sign this! Sounds like the perfect teamwork.
There would definitely be dessert for the man who volunteers for cleaning :smt047

 

you can say that again...his whiskey stones would be chilled everytime he needed them...
