For women, intelligence many times hinders your travels and keeps them from the promise land.
The popular saying “ignorance is bliss” doesn’t exactly cover the broad spectrum of woes women feel as they sit alone Friday nights with no one to discuss Nietzsche.
Life consists of an infinite number of possibilities and the healthy person explores as many of them as possible.
Religions that teach pity, self-contempt, humility, self-restraint and guilt are incorrect.
The good life is ever changing, challenging, devoid of regret, intense, creative and risky.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche
It doesn’t assuage a woman’s pain as her parents ask where her boyfriend is and why she can’t find a nice guy.
The saying should be something closer to “ignorant women get the man and intelligent women never feel bliss.”
But why is this?
Why don’t men want women with whom they can converse and who challenge them?
When did the aversion to strong and intelligent women become a code orange?
When did everyone just want to go to the Bahamas and lie around?
Successful men date less successful women not because they want ‘women to be dumb’ but rather because they want ‘someone who prioritizes their life in a way that’s compatible with how you prioritize yours.
Basically, they want someone who isn’t ever going to let her career come before making dinner and pleasing them first.
Women want men who are ahead of them. So the farther she travels, the fewer the men
Women think that a big salary and a big-name college should increase their options, but sometimes the opposite is true.
Of course, we are talking here about preferences. Women can physically reproduce with any functioning man, but dating less successful men feels like “settling” to most of them.
Where’s The Problem?
Unless you are well-versed in evolutionary psychology, you might miss the issue here.
You might think, OK, but men also must want equally successful women, so they just find each other.
Well, it’s not exactly like that:
What? Men don’t like successful women?
It’s not that men don’t like successful women, but:
Men have lower “success standards” than women.
Some traits men value can be antithetical to success (i.e., age, submissiveness, and a nurturing disposition).

Thank you ….Men only value professional success up to a certain point and almost never above their own level.
Sure, men say they value intelligence and success, and nope, they would never be turned off or intimidated by it.
But what people say doesn’t always square off with what they do.
Despite what they say, men indeed prefer women who are “less” than they are:
Some men prefer less intelligent women.
Above a certain threshold, men find female intelligence a turn-off.
And it’s especially when he feels that she outsmarts him that he really loses attraction.

Do you want to add a word or two?
Many men prefer less dominant women.
Women prefer more dominant men, while men prefer more submissive women.
This is true also for some of the most successful men, which is why you see many tycoons with very low-key women Men prefer women who earn less.
Time and culture have changed, but people haven’t.
And deep down, most people don’t feel it’s OK for her to earn more.
That attitude translates into numbers men tend to marry women who make less or women marry men who make more if you prefer.

Men are wary of highly-ambitious women
Women like ambitious men, but men don’t award ambitious women any more points.
As a matter of fact, ambition is often considered a masculine trait, and that’s probably why women hide their ambition.
Women who do not hide their ambition can be seen as gender deviants and lose points and that’s probably why Hillary Clinton lost the election.
Successful men have huge leverage, which leaves some career women frustrated when said men don’t chase and invest.
“Doesn’t he realize what a great catch I am”, they wonder-.
Well, as I have already mentioned, men don’t value their career achievements as much as they think.
