super random

I never got the notion of "men don't like smart women", it's not a stereotype that I see in real life too much.
And I kinda think the opposite way, like yes honey please go on about mathematical topics I don't know a thing about <3

I think it has to do with larger norms that directly or indirectly encourage girls / women not to show off their smarts.... and that leads to different expectations and etc.

One of those rules that is often more compiled from other rules / norms.

With the notable exception of myself, (heh) my wife is the smartest person I know.

In my younger years, when I had more options to take for granted than my old ass would now, I left quite a few women because I found their intellect wanting.

Though I didn't know it was a thing until maybe the last few years, I believe I'm a sapiosexual.

I agree.
I think the problem is that people mean arrogance when they say „intelligence“..

The loud women are often the arrogant, unhappy feminists, I think that’s where it comes from.

Men are louder anyway so the arrogant cunts don’t stick out that much..

No offence against feminists. Just against the extreme left ones.

Personally I find Intelligent women very attractive. Fuck boobie size, there’s nothing sexier than an intellectual discussion with a women.

@NickyBones ... but electrical engineering is super sick

when was smartness linked to mathematics? I think mature and wiser people are smart.

@theabbie just an example, nothing specific

@NickyBones

Some men don't for sure... but I always wonder how true / many there are that really don't like smart women.

I suspect lots of women don't like women who seem smart too...

I think the origins / enforcement of these ideas are a lot more mixed even if the story is "men don't like women who" ... women sadly do a good job enforcing that stuff on other women too.

Many moons ago in college I attended an event that talked about media pressure. One talk was about pressure on girls from fashion and various industries.

Then the talk sort of pivoted or summarized about all this pressure put on girls by men's expectations of what they want out of a woman physically .... I couldn't help but wonder "Wait, are straight men really running the fashion industry and they're pushing some agenda there?" I'm not sure that made sense.

I kinda questioned that pivot, but granted it's a topic I'm a bit sensitive about.

@NickyBones

"I was always incredibly surprised how fast straight men seem to align their preferences."

I'm not convinced that's the case at all.

@NickyBones the shift in the "beauty standard" was weirdly quick, though I don't know anyone who was actually into it

It was all over the media but in real life? nah

and same thing now, idk if people are really into the "mainstream". I think my bros just wanna hold hands :/

I read the rant. I don’t click. I expect Nicky to be here in the comments.

I click. I’m right.

@NickyBones well... I don't hang around these types of people I guess :|

I don't hang around gyms at all, though that might be something I should change.

@kiki I mean one of her previous rants sort of lead me to think about this topic, I kinda expected her to comment

@NickyBones yeah I get that
I sort of have to think about Instagram on this topic, never got the appeal behind it

I mean I'm a guy who never even shows his face online so it's clearly not for me

@NickyBones so a transhumanist who modifies their body is a turn off?

@NickyBones @kiki

I would say

Butt implants: boring
Butt implants that are actually guns: hell yeah

@LotsOfCaffeine Katy perry tit guns from 2012

@NickyBones it’s okay not to care about your appearance as long as you’re Jeri Ellsworth level of sexy

@NickyBones well whatever you do it’s successful because, well, you’re on Jeri Ellsworth level of sexy.

@kiki I had to Google who that is

Am I just too young to know all these references?

@LotsOfCaffeine because this comment wasn't for you in the first place.

@kiki it's my post, I'll read the comments

@LotsOfCaffeine google has the same logic when it comes to their servers and google drive files lmao

It’s my servers, I’ll read that files

@kiki well yes
