Scientists Have Proven That Men Are Terrified Of Intelligent Women

Dec 04, 2018 by apost team

Researchers recently conducted an important study concerning men and women and how men relate to a certain type. The study was published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin and confirmed what many men don’t like to readily admit - that they are scared to death of women who are smarter than them.

The researchers of the study were from the University of Texas, the University of Buffalo, and California Lutheran University.

The specifics of this study were based on a hypothetical scenario that men were given. In it, 105 men were asked to imagine a woman that either unperformed or outperformed them, in either an English or Math course. The woman would either be smarter than they are or would be less intelligent. After they imagined this scenario, they were then asked to imagine that same woman as a future romantic partner.

Would you be surprised to find out that the results of the study pointed to the fact that many men are unsettled by a smarter woman? Well, don’t be.

This is absolutely true of many men today.

A large portion of the men who participated in this study said that they would rather be with a woman who was not as smart as them. They admitted they were scared of a woman who outperformed them in the areas stated about.

Many of these men stated that they would have little desire to exchange numbers or information concerning a date with a woman who they believe is smarter in certain areas than they are. Not only that, just being forced to imagine a woman who was smarter than they made some of these men feel as though their “masculinity was diminished."

Too many men worry that they won’t be looked at as a “man” if the woman they are with is smarter than they are. While this might seem silly, it is is very true in this day and age.

While women are continuing to succeed in what was once a man’s world, there are still millions of men who have problems with it. But women out there, don't let that get you down. While we wait for those men to stop worrying about how smart their significant other is and start appreciating her for her brains, why not date someone who appreciates your big brain and who can talk to you for hours about deep, meaningful issues?

What do you think of this study? Do you know any men who have would feel the same way? Tell us your stories in the comment section below and pass this on to all the women you know so they can join in on the discussion!
