Do smart women intimidate men?

I think a more apt question would be — Are men intimidated by smart women?

Yes, but are the woman doing it or are the men reacting to it?

I have to agree, only stupid men will find themselves intimidated by intelligent women; or more specifically, by the mere fact that they are intelligent.

I've certainly found myself 'intimidated' by some women in the past, both in the sense of feeling too shy to approach/speak to some, typically associated with them being very beautiful, and also in sense of being put-off by others, usually due to aggressive attitudes/behaviours.

These things are seldom one and the same I find. It is certainly possible for a woman to be beautiful and intelligent, WITHOUT being aggressive or off-putting. A nice conversation with an intelligent woman can be quite stimulating...

Intelligence and confidence are two extremely attractive qualities in women, and if they are physically attractive too then that is a bonus.

The worst kind is when a woman believes in error that she is smart or intelligent

[Spanky Panky]

A lot of my female colleagues are intelligent and physically attractive but there is a hardness to their personality I don’t find attractive. They seem to carry a chip on their shoulder about how difficult it is for a woman to achieve the same level of success as a man, and the choice and sacrifice they have to make of family vs career where men can easily have it all.

I can understand their point but personally I find more carefree women attractive and I’d rather have fun with a less intelligent woman than an all night debate with an intelligent woman. I wouldn’t put it down to being intimidated, just personal preference.

There are tons of researches on this, that being the latest one I read:

Yes, in theory, most guys love the idea of dating someone smarter.
They all say intelligence is sexy. In the many studies, they all found not attractive any woman that had a better score result than they had
