Intellectual and Professional Women

Posted by socon on October 7, 2007

This post is a slightly-edited version of a comment I left at GL’s blog in response to a feminist’s claim that…

“Men date women, arguably, who reflect themselves and satisfy their ideals of what a woman should be. That is why it is fairly common for men to date women with the same educational or professional background, for instance. It goes without saying that smart men find smart women attractive or that employed men would also want their partner to be professionally employed as well. Imitation is the best form of flattery so it is not surprising that men seek women who are mirror images of themselves.”**

I find this to be a completely bizarre argument. It is derived from feminst-Marxist-egalitarian doctrine. Men do not date women who “reflect themselves” and are “mirror images” of themselves. Throughout history, great Men such as World Leaders, Scientists, Entrepreneurs, etc. have married traditional, SAHM-type women, and many have attributed their success partly to the support of their wives in their homelife, etc. This has been the norm throughout most of human history, except for the last 50-odd years in the West, which really represents a crazy anomaly in the greater scheme of things.

As for the fact that Men should date women from the same educational & professional background etc… this is something that we have been brainwashed into believing by the feminist-media and popular culture. And in my experience, most thinking Men eventually grow out of this brainwashing.

I’m not here to boast, but I am something of an intellectual. I am a professional, a Masters’ graduate, Mensa member, etc. But the fact of the matter is… a woman’s academic or professional accomplishments are VERY VERY LOW on my own list of requirements for a potential girlfriend or spouse. I am much more interested in her level of physical fitness and attractiveness, and qualities like a pleasant disposition, emotional intelligence/sensitivity, loyalty, character, etc. These are CULTURAL things not taught at any University. For a long-term relationship, I would also look for things like domestic skills, a positive attitude to child-rearing, etc.

Any academic/intellectual stuff is more like a minor, optional bonus. Not an essential requirement by any means. If I want to have an intellectual conversation, I can phone my stockbroker. Or come chat on the blogs. :)

I have no desire to sleep with some other corporate clone. Such a man-woman contributes nothing new or different into my life. I might as well sleep with another Man. (Not.)

And by the way, isn’t wanting to have sex with someone who is “a mirror image” of yourself is the sign of a narcissist?

Sorry feminists, but we’re just not buying what you’re selling anymore.

Bad Boys, Badder Girls, and An Ugly View Of Life

Posted by socon on October 7, 2007

Women’s attraction to “jerks” and “bad boys” is a well-known occurrence. You know… that phenomenon where all the pretty (and not-so-pretty) women run after the 5% of guys who are unemployed, drug-addicted, possibly-criminal gangsters, or worse. While all the time totally ignoring their more polite, cultured, accomplished, and intelligent counterparts.

Now this issue has been debated ad nauseum, both in the blogosphere and elsewhere. The general consensus that seems to have been reached is that this is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Bad boys are subconsciously perceived by women as being “strong”; and this is some sort of innate genetic thing. Call of The Wild and all of that.

So that’s that then.

Then again, maybe not…

A few years back, I read about a study that was conducted sometime during the 70’s or 80’s. Researchers asked highschoolers from 2 different countries to choose which of their classmates they considered to be the most popular and attractive, and give reasons for their choices.

Now, one of these groups was American, and the other was Chinese (or maybe Japanese, I don’t recall exactly). The results of this survey were interesting…

The American results were as one would have expected from a Western country. The extroverted, aggressive, sporty/cheerleader types won the vote hands down.

The Asian results, however, were the exact opposite. The majority of the Asian students voted their quiet, introverted, sensitive, and intellectual classmates as being the most popular and attractive…

Their responses indicated their appreciation of these types for their reserved dignity & leadership, intelligence, and empathetic advocacy, among other things.

Now I can imagine that this has probably changed somewhat within the last 30+ years with the amount of Westernisation that has taken place in East Asia.

But the broader point here is that this suggests that attractiveness and popularity are more a result of culture and socialisation, than they are genetic. Our ideas of what we think are attractive qualities, physically and personality-wise, are informed by the messages we receive from the culture we live in, including the media.

The post-60’s Western culture has made “good” “bad” and “bad” “cool”. And the overwhelming majority of modern Western[ised] Women are psychological basketcases, wrecked by Feminism and the Cult of Entitlement that have taught them that they can do no wrong, and jaded from a lifetime (however long or short) of promiscuity in a permissive society.

They say that “water always finds its own level”. Given that so many Western Women are a psychological mess, is it any wonder that they are attracted to those Men who as just as messed up as they are?

I Changed The Theme

Posted by socon on October 1, 2007

I noticed my previous theme was not conducive to selecting / copying text from the Comments section.

I think this one is more readable as well.

Apologies for any inconvenience, and thanks for bearing with me while I sorted this thing out.
