Yes!! I have a perfect example for you in this.\n\nI'm...let's say...scholastic. I have a bachelor's degree and I am heading to Law School next. My "type" has always, from the first time I dated, been a book-smart guy. In fact, I was so picky that I would not touch a "blue collar worker" with a 10 foot pole (as far as dating goes - not in general). I was just into dating someone with whom I could sit down and discuss books and theories, ect. (yes, I am a dork) and one of my requirements is that he had to be either working on a degree or already holding a degree.\n\nThen I met my current boyfriend. I didn't give him a chance at first - no degree, ect. ect. blah blah I'm an idiot. He's a firefighter for a living and that just wasn't my thing. However, the more I talked to him, the more I fell madly in love with him. He's perfect and treats me 10 times better than any book-smart guy I have ever known. I wouldn't trade him in for anything or anyone in the world. \n\nIf nothing else, he has opened my eyes to see that "types" are ridiculous. My new "type" thanks to him? The type that treats me well and makes me happy. Thank God for him for that!

I find women who play hard to get a turn off. Don't get me wrong they cannot be easy, but when I have to go really far out of my way for someone I barely know then I just am not going to waste my time.

Women aren't that mysterious. They just change their minds a lot and they like guys that can impress them without trying to impress them.

Simple:  the guys are intimidated by you.  Point blank.  I had the same problem in high school...you will find better opportunities when you get out of high school and into college!!  Just keep doing you and achieving all you can achieve...they will come to you in the end!!!  I know because it happened to me!!!

It really depends. I feel that a man can usually make a better boss just because they are usually viewed as more powerful. And that more people respect them which makes for a more comfortable work place.\nHowever some women have been able to find that fine line where they are a GREAT boss. Without having to be a downright b*tch...and without being walked all over

Many things could, depends on the guy.  A tall woman could be too intimidating for a short guy.  Apparent success can make a lot of men too intimidated.  \n\nNot so sure about the answers saying good looks though, it's usually more than her just looking good that makes her intimidating, because what if she smiled at you... you'd be all over her.

Im a guy and a pretty shy one when it comes to that. I think it would be a lot easier on us if you ladies would speak your minds and let us know a little more. Besides, he would probably feel intimidated and you would probably keep the upper hand in the relationship if it goes that way. Personally I like it when a woman takes control and isnt afraid to be herself. good luck!

Yeah I think you're pretty well on the money - just as a generalisation and not true for all girls and women (I dated sweet nerdy chess clubs types in high school and rejected all the bad boys).

Confidence is key! Women love men who have confidence in themselves, it makes us think that you hold the world in your hands. Also play hard to get, don't over-do it though.

Not all men are the same.  There are some who finds it challenging to be beaten by women.

This may be true. They(boys) may find you a bit intimidating because you are confident and probably because of your maturity they may think they don't stand a chance with you.  But don't change because they are too wimpy to approach you.  There are lots of guys that like a challenge and are not intimidated by talented, competitive, confident young ladies. They find this appealing.

They are harder to get as well as very picky. So men tend to stay away from them.

yes in some cases.women do have an edge over men if their bosses are men as men tend to have a soft corner for women.but if their bosses are women then their wont be any chance for the women.

People tend to be more open with women , I guess they feel a little threatened by men.

I'd get some help. You might need some confidence to actually go out with more attainable women.

alot of woman are afraid of rejection, just like some men, they dont approach a man their interested because of that, the sad thing is, you never know what the other one is thinking, they may have the same feelings for you, and if you dont get to know them, you could be missing out on a good thing. As for as the guys asking where all the good woman are? A woman who respects herself isnt just gonna go up and hang all over a man she's interested in, she'll sit back and wait to be approched or introduced to you.
