I'm definitely not an expert on dating, but I guess I can share a few things.

I do have a female friend who is very intelligent, and she hides her intelligence. I think, in fact, that one of the reasons she did not choose to go to grad school is that she was afraid it would scare off potential suitors.
She has been trying to find someone to marry for years, dresses very revealingly, acts much less intelligent than she is, etc. THe result? It hasn't attracted any of the guys she might have liked to attract, and she still doesn't have a boyfriend, from the last that I've heard.

I wouldn't recommend hiding your God-given intelligence, but I do think being humble about it is a good idea, really in any situation, with males or females. After all, intelligence is a gift from the Lord. It's not something to be ashamed of or to boast about.

I think men look as themselves as the bread winners and probably will for eternity. But behind every good man is a well educated women. A lot of men think tey need to be the onewho provides the financial security and are afraid that their women counterparts make more it makes them less of a man. As for me my wife makes morethan I do and I'm happily content with that. Unfortunately men let that one of the sins over ride them and thats their Pride, so we need to work on it some.

I've always have this observation among men in my age range. Thanks for confirming it and being honest.

I think none of the advices is a good one. I personally like smart woman with whom I can maintain an interesting conversation. Also, I would feel bad if after a few weeks of dating I find out that I have been told a lie (for example, a false age). So, I think it's always better to be yourself and to tell the truth (no all the truth, though).
