Intellectual and Professional Women

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.
