http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2417942/Im-single-50-Why-Men-hate-brainier-says-KATE-MULVEY.htmlACTUALLY, WE LOVE SMART WOMEN.
We just prefer they’re feminine.
There are plenty of smart men in the world. But they aren’t feminine either. The scarce thing for men is femininity, not intelligence. Smart men are surrounded by other smart men. And frankly, given that men tend to talk in facts, not experiences, they’re a lot less work to understand, and far more interesting for ‘intelligent conversation’. Intelligence is a commodity. It isn’t scarce. Femininity in any woman that pays attention to us is the ultimate scarcity.
I mean, seriously? Why do we need another masculine, competitive, unattractive person in our lives? Women are expensive. They cost us a great deal of effort and money. We must constantly compromise our desires for theirs. Why would we do that without getting femininity in return?
Did I say ‘femininity’ enough times yet?
That’s just the data. We have tons of data now. It all says the same thing. Femininity sells. Nesting sells. Care-taking sells. Period. Everything else is a nice-to-have. You cant sell a nice-to-have on its own. Femininity is what beauty is. And every woman is capable of it. In fact, it’s pretty hard to avoid being feminine unless you actively try to suppress it in women.
Women in my generation got screwed in life. Or didn’t. … er… Whatever…. sigh.
