ok, so what's the deal...
From gapingvoid.com:
...When all you're trying to do is be a good boyfriend/girlfriend/lover etc, and all the other person seems to want to do is drive you nuts?
Is there's some kind of "It's imperative that I drive your nuts" gene that we inherited from the chimps? Were chimps ever that crazy? What's the deal with that?
Also, a female friend asked me this last night:
Why is it that so many super-smart women invariably insist on being smart in every aspect of their life, EXCEPT when it comes to dating?
"Hi, sorry, but you're not STUPID or DAMAGED or POVERTY-STRICKEN or INEFFECTUAL enough for me. Get lost."
Here's my short answer: Females are generally not encouraged by society to be super-smart, at least, not overtly. And ESPECIALLY not in the techie/geeky super-smart way.
So as a result, by the time these super-smart young girl geeks have grown up to be women, society will have managed to inject them with all sorts of serious self-esteem issues. Which rarely comes in handy in the mate-choosing department.
Just my opinion.
