Dating Advice for Smart People
Ah, dating articles. I think they're turning into something of a fascination for me. I love how every man who ever walked the earth feels that it is his right and just place to tell women how to fall in love. This article, however, just about takes the cake. Essentially, we smart girls need to be more feminine, less competitive, and stop thinking so much. Oh, and we need to think only about our relationship lest we be doomed to never find a mate. Sorry dude, but the fifties were officially over fifty years ago. Welcome to 2010.

Just to add my own thoughts in, but what do smart men do to sabotage their own relationships? Plenty. I ran a google search to possibly find an article addressing this but, to no one's surprise, only got articles about how WOMEN sabotage their relationships with smart men. So, here's my question for you -- how have you noticed smart men (be they friends or significant others of your own) sabotaging their relationship?
Here's mine: Smart men condescend towards their partner. The fact that she may be just as smart or smarter than him never crosses his mind. She's a female, so she can't be. In fact, I've noticed men, far more often than women, try to obtain the upper hand with their partner and establish dominance. That is not attractive, men. She gets enough bullshit from everyone else around her that she doesn't need it from you. NEVER assume she might not be as capable as you, and for heaven's sake, even if she isn't, NEVER act like you're better than her because of it.
