Personally I have criticised the view before that men won't go for women who
are 'smarter' than them - my argument went something like "those women with
higher IQ's are more likely to have been through a 'college education' and
given the anti-male bias that has existed both within womens curricula (esp.
'womens studies') and the campus as a whole these women are more likely to
be indoctrinated with the view that disrespecting mens contribution to
society (and even men themselves!) is somehow a 'virtue' - not surprising
then that not so many men find such indoctrinated women an attractive
option! "
