Du kanske inte har det. Men det är inte vad forskning säger om män som grupp och det verkar vara så att män säger en sak men i praktiken väljer annorlunda, här en artikel om det:
"In the study of 105 men, researchers laid out several scenarios. In the first, they told men that ?a woman down the hall,? whom they never saw, either outperformed or underperformed them on an intelligence test. Then they were told to imagine this woman as a romantic partner. Unsurprisingly, the guys more frequently desired the woman who outperformed them.
However, in the second round, men were given an intelligence test and then told that they were about to meet a woman who had bested them on the same exam. Ah, yes. The mythic smart, successful, beautiful woman every guy supposedly wanted.
In the study, the men didn?t go after this awesome woman, according to lead researcher Lora Park, a professor in psychology at University at Buffalo. ?When the woman was psychologically near ? a real-life face-to-face interaction ? men moved their chair further away from the woman, as an indicator of less interest in her, and reported less romantic attraction toward the woman when she outperformed versus underperformed him on a test,? she tells me.
The way Park explains it, men only think they know what they want ? or they know what they want in theory, not what they?d choose when put to the test IRL. ?Men seem to be influenced less by their ideal partner preferences and more by their emotions or feelings at the moment,? she says. ?Specifically, when men were outperformed by a woman in a domain that they cared about ? intelligence ? they felt threatened, assessed by diminished self-ratings of masculinity, which then led them to act in a way counter to what their expressed ideal preferences were.? In other words, these guys felt way inferior in the smarter woman?s presence, and so they went rogue; they ditched their self-described dream gal for someone who didn?t best their intelligence."

En studie på 105 män säger knappast så värst mycket och dessutom är den gjord i det konservativa US. Du ska inte dra för stora slutsatser av det. Enorm skillnad på Sverige och USA vill jag påstå.
