do guys like a girl that is cleverer than them?

Question

i got the highest level in my SATs but i cant help but wonder do guys like a girl that is cleverer than them

Answer 1

Standardized tests show that I am smarter then my boyfriend. He doesn't care a bit.



By the way, just because you score higher then most people on a standardized test doesn't mean you are really smarter then everyone. It just means you are really good at taking tests.



p.s. to some of the people on here, Cleverer is a word. Look it up.

Answer 2

I do, and I think it's pretty accepted that women are smarter than men.



There are still some that would get upset about a women that's smarter, but then they'd get upset if their girl could do anything better.



That's a deficiency on their part and not any womans.



Please don't dumb yourself down for guys. That's the most annoying trait I've ever encountered while dating.



Guys like girls, if you're out there doing things you'll attract guys, being smart isn't a turn off, if you don't have an attitude about it.

Answer 3

Most guys don't like it. You could dumb down, but I've tried that in the past, and the thing is that how intelligent you are is part of what makes you you, and you can't really be in a relationship without letting the guy see who you really are. Sooner or later they find out how intelligent you are - maybe someone else asks you a question and you're caught unawares and reply with an unexpected intelligent answer - and then it freaks them out. My philosophy now is just to be yourself from the beginning, then you don't get stuck with the insecure guys who don't like intelligent girls.

Answer 4

yes they do.

if you go out with another clever guy then you two can have cute little riddles to solve or have contests to see who is cleverer and stuff. its not a problem so don't worry. if he's also clever and curious you might teach him a few new things or the other way around. it shouldnt matter if you both like each other.

Answer 5

First of all, getting high grades on the SATs does not define clever; it could mean that you are academically smart or book smart.

Answer 6

Probably won't make a difference, but you know what guys can be like. Nobody is perfect. It's a guy's mentality to want to be right as much as possible. If you date someone who you're obviously smarter than, it may be best to maintain this level of intelligence but never patronise your guy or make his ideas, thoughts or opinions seem valued or intelliglbe (even if they are not), that can avoid problems :)

Answer 7

I like girls who are more clever than me. The question is, do you like guys that aren't as clever as you?

Answer 8

They might, but most guys feel threatened by girls that are cleverer than they are because they think that they're 'losing', in a way.

Answer 9

NO, clever men go for looks only

Answer 10

with some of us guys, it doesnt matter, just so long as we love the girls, but on the other hand, there are some guys that dont really like that fact, they like to be the smart one in the relationship. those are the ones who just dont want you to "outshine" them because then they think that other people will think that the guy is dumb or something, which isnt true,but with most guys it doesnt matter

Answer 11

Dont get all smarty on them all the time- let it show at the right times, and be fun to be with. Dont act stupid. Mkae sure he knows your a genius. just dont show it off i guess. and if u find a guy thast smart too- well thats a match made in heaven!

Answer 12

A guy doesn't like to feel dumb. If you are smarter them him try not to brag about it all day long, but share your knowledge with him. Some guys do dig smart women, i know i do and no i am not hitting on you. hehehe..

Answer 13

There is guys out that like that. I am like that when it comes to my husband and me and for him it works. I am in college and doing great and he is happy working hard with his hands and stuff. It all works out, so just look for the right guy for you.

Answer 14

Wouldn't it be More Clever?

Answer 15

I like intelligent girls... Being a smart guy myself, it's easier to hold a conversation and have similar interests...

Answer 16

well a girl with wit

is always kewl wif da guys =D

lol but that's my opinion

some guys like it

some guys don't

it depends on the dude

Answer 17

Sweetheart, don't try to play that game... Your speech betrays you. Cleverer is not a word.... so there is no need to answer your question.

Answer 18

i heard men don't like to feel you are smarter. they have fragile egos and i think i read that a study on attractin stated men are less attracted to one who was a lot more intelligent.

Answer 19

i thought clever was being witty i guess your just smarter then them not more clever

Answer 20

I don't ask guys their IQ or GPA and they don't ask mine...it's not a competition. I don't think a guy would mind being with a chick who's smarter than he, but don't flaunt it.

Answer 21

now if that were true about the SAT's wouldn't you know that cleverer is not a word??????

Answer 22

yeah,cleverer isn't a word.

More clever than them.

But I think they do.\

Or at least they should.

Answer 23

I think the guys would be intimidated by your vanity not your intelligence.

Cheers
