Have you ever intimidated someone with your intelligence?

Have you ever intimidated someone with your intelligence?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

I’ve had many guys tell me that they find me intimidating because of my intelligence…I’m not sure if that’s the same as finding my intelligence, on its own, intimidating. And I suppose the reason they find it intimidating is because I actually engage in conversation with them and challenge what they say if I disagree with it. I don’t think men in my general peer group (early to mid-20s) are necessarily used to that.
