Intimidate, no. ANNOY the hell out of, yes. The superior attitude is disgusting if you ask me. Do you men realize that acting like that usually just gives us something to laugh about when you finally leave?
I had a date with a guy (blind date sort of thing) who is an engineer and higher on the IQ level and I found him to be so condescending. He was in a Fraternitiy at Ohio St and couldn't understand why I would still want to be involved. I got the distinct impression that he thought less of me because I was involved with Gamma Phi, got manicures and has season football tickets.
I agree with the comment carol made. If a guy expects me to act and talk like an airhead who enjoys nothing but shopping and knows nothing about sports, he is SORELY mistaken. I'm more likely to talk about the latest ball game than the newest fashion.
