Hey! That's not the women's fault - the guys are the ones that like to pick girls with a lower IQ than themselves.
I struck out with the brainy girls too. I think I struck out harder with them for some reason. Maybe they're looking for guys that are smarter than them. Or maybe they're looking for the same guys that normal girls are and would rather be alone than settle for a fellow geek.
I ended up with one of the few "normal" girls that actually likes being around smart guys. Not to the point of wanting to listen to me get really geeky, mind you, but she still wants to be around raw brainpower more than most average girls do and thought I was the most amazing and irresistible guy ever. I'm still not sure how she turned out that way or how the rest of the female population didn't.
a fine and enviable madness, this delusion that all questions have answers, and nothing is beyond the reach of a strong left arm.
