I really dislike anything that purports to generalize about how men (or women) think/act/are or what they "want" pro forma. Personally, I'm *only* attracted to smart, strong women. I was married to one for ten years. I fell for her and stayed married to her for so long due to her depth and intelligence. I'm dating one now. If you have to generalize, there may be certain types of issues that arise in a relationship with what I'll call for the sake of brevity an "intelligent woman" but there's probably a corresponding typology to issues that arise in a relationship with a less intelligent/accomplished woman.
One thing I *do* think I can generalize about is that most of the readers of this forum are of above average intelligence. And intelligence does present problems --both on a personal and interpersonal level. For example, there's a tendency to overanalyze everything in a way a less intelligent person probably wouldn't. When you get two intelligent people together these tendencies will be magnified and could cause problems.
I'll have some more thoughts on this later...
