- The last man I dated was dumber than I was. He had more formal education
- than I, but he just wasn't the brightest bulb in the marquee. The fact
- that I often had to define words that I used in conversation was one of the
- factors in my deciding that I didn't want to see him anymore. It was sooo
- frustrating.
-
- And on a general note...I think that men prefer for women to at least
- pretend that they are less intelligent than the man. Sorry. No.
