It&rsquo;s hard to find a reliable study of gender demographics in the higher categories of the IQ range such as superior or genius level, while there are lots of excuses such as &ldquo;t<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">esting questions are geared toward categories where men perform better such as mathematics and abstract reasoning.&rdquo; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies and general averages aside, there are women out there with superior or genius level intelligence. Their ratio against male counterparts are disputed, but it doesn&rsquo;t change the fact there are smart women in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-intimidating-perception-of-intelligent-women\"><\/span>The intimidating perception of intelligent women<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of men are intimidated by intelligent women. In case you haven&rsquo;t noticed in the studies above, there are more men in the higher end of the spectrum, but the averages are the same. That&rsquo;s because there are also more men at the lower end of the graph. The intelligence distribution of the male gender shows that are smarter and dumber men compared to the median centric female distribution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may wonder what&rsquo;s the relationship between gender averages and the intimidating perception of an intelligent woman. It just shows that the large distribution of below average and average men are not comfortable with an above average woman. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because intelligent women are more likely to make smart, rather than emotional choices. They are considered intimidating because they see through cheap pick-up lines and can easily discern lies.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can rebuke cheap approaches of men who just want to get into their pants in more creative ways resulting in the negative perception. On the other hand, if you truly love an intelligent woman, they will also detect your sincerity and respond in a kind manner. An intelligent woman is still a woman. However, she would consult both her brain and her heart when in a relationship. If you are married to one, she will almost always make the best choice for you and your partnership.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons-to-marry-an-intelligent-woman\"><\/span>Reasons to marry an intelligent woman<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sincerity in a relationship has nothing to do with IQ. However, a smart woman will be more creative in showing her love. Assuming that both parties in the relationship <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/love\/the-true-meaning-of-love-in-a-relationship\/\">truly love each other<\/a>, the man doesn&rsquo;t have to carry the burden of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/relationship\/\">keeping the relationship alive<\/a> by himself. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An intelligent woman will notice if something is wrong and will take the initiative and fix the problem.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average woman is also intuitive when it comes to detecting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/relationship\/solutions-for-8-common-relationship-issues\/\">problems in a relationship<\/a>. However, they are normally at a loss on how best to resolve the issue. That is not the case when dealing with a smart woman. She can deduce the root of the problem and work on it by herself or together with her spouse to keep the relationship alive. That is why marriages with intelligent wives are longer, happier and healthier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most intelligent women are not afraid to lead the train and make rational choices for the good of the relationship. A lot of men are not happy with women taking charge, but if the man is smart enough in his own right, an intelligent woman will recognize it and is willing to discuss options as an equal partner.
