One of my friends told me last night that I need to dumb-down...a lot.
Seriously?

Topic title is a good first step in dumbing down.
I'm fairly certain you just titled it with the incorrect "to" purely to make my brain twitch.
Also, you're awesome.0 -
I love a smart man!!!!0

No way.
Unless you act like a know it all pompous *kitten* that like to listen to yourself talking.

Nah....Insist they come up to your level rather than descending to theirs...or find somebody who is above you and strive to reach their level.0

I get it. Just dumbed down my online dating profile a little myself. Evidently having an engineering degree and traveling the world makes me better than others or unattainable?!? A male friend once told me I'd be in my 40's before guys would feel comfortable enough to date a woman who has it together like I do (not bragging, just reality).. Since I'm 36 and still single, I'd say he was right (I was 27 then).
P.S. I too clicked on the link to joke on your spelling so I will admit you got me. :grumble:0 -

Yeah. What she said.

I for one really like intellegent men and there seems to be a shortage. Dont change who you are for anyone0

i like intelligence. i don't like know it alls. i like street smarts. i don't like too smart to be able to hold a conversation. i don't mind if you're smarter than me, as long as you aren't flaunting it and shoving it in my face.............
but, know it alls are the absolute worst!!!!!!0 -
I won't date a woman who I can't have a conversation with. I don't care how hot you are. I will not drop down to your level.0
-
Based on how many idiots that are out there, yeah, you need to dumb it down, make fun of everyone, and booty dance on the table.0

I think your friend is right, too. I once had a male friend tell me several years ago that I was intimidating. He didn't say why, but I had no idea. I try to be nice and make everybody feel comfortable, but maybe it's just not something I can control. But I would never dumb myself down for anyone, as OP should not (or anyone else).
I would be interested to know what spurred OP's friend to say that.0 -
What your friend says makes sense. Would you rather dumb it down a bit or stay alone? Dumbing it down is the better option for many single, intelligent people of both sexes.0

Apparently intelligence is intimidating.
As am I.
P.S. I'd rather be alone and awesome than pretend I'm a stupid b*tch to get attention.0 -
no. other people just need to either not be such non-curious, simple minded dullards or at least stop complaining when the rest of us smarties treat them like minions0

There is only one way to life...living as you are. Acceptance of another on any level is understanding who they are as a whole. Personally, I love a woman who can think and act for herself. If you have to put a helmet on to be understood, there will always be challenges in communication; of which, is the key to any relationship.0 -

I don't think you have to pretend to be stupid or a b*tch (mutually exclusive). I chose to still share what is important to me but saved the details until I get to know someone so I don't intimidate them. I know when I'm chatting or hanging with someone whether they can carry on a conversation. I just don't want to scare away good, intelligent men who haven't had the chances I have! No need to scare people with our brilliance!!0 -

HaHa, well, then you can be yourself; no pretending necessary :laugh:0 -
I hope I am at least average as intelligence goes so why would I want to try to appeal to a vacant air head?
Really want a person I can talk with.0 -
Wasn't able to edit my post in time...
I love a smart man!!!!
I was actually told to dumb things down and not mention my BA or MA degrees or the fact i want to get my PhD.......a guy told me it was a turn off :sad:0 -

Why cry? You're much better off without that one.
Me, I can think of some uses for a guy who is dumber than me, but after awhile you have to get out of bed.0 -

Anyway, I generally explain to people that they had to create a new IQ scale to cater for my superior mind. The [insert your name here]-Scale.0
