How do you tell a woman she is not too sharp?.

depends on the circumstances... and do you really need to tell her?

I recall we had this secretary at work who used to play the dippy blond.

I accidently found out the lady had a BA in mathematics because she corrected something in a document that showed she actually understood the
mathematics behind it...
I thanked her for correcting the error
but the gig was up
why she played dumb I have no idea, but after she stopped playing dumb around me

Then you married her.

No... we were just friends... but I did use her knowledge a couple times to check on wording.

Later she was the secretary for the VP and I think that was because she stopped playing dumb (good for her).

Don't know what she's doing now... that was years ago.

ps. my wife... never played dumb...

Sometimes people do as they're expected, whether that be beneficial to them or not( maybe someone or some were treating her as if she were "dumb") and sometimes because of how some perceive others, some will respond to or act in a manner that matches their perceptions. In other words, perhaps she was acting "dumb" because she perceived those around her to not be so bright? who knows, human behavior is mystical at times, lol:)

I've a question concerning hobbyists......so you choose to see a particular lady, this lady has a website, yet you don't bother reading it, why? This happens so frequently, I had to ask:) Perhaps it's just as simple as men prefer hearing details from the escort?

I can't help you with this one Cristy. I read every word, and look at every picture (very carefully) if the lady has a website and I'm interested in seeing her. I learn a lot of valuable information and make many decisions on whether or not to proceed based on her website.

Could be the guys who don't read are either in too much of a rush, not in a discreet place, too lazy, can't read or blinded by your pics. I haven't looked at yours yet, sorry, Halifax is a bit far for me to hobby, but I've seen some SP sites that were too wordy, too long, or may be the story the SP is telling just doesn't catch my eye. I don't book a lot of Indies, but if I were to, you can bet I'd read everything.

Yes Cristy, expectations were perhaps behind it, but given in the context thinking we were all dumb is unlikely given that she was working for a bunch of Ph.D.'s, I think perhaps it was more trying to get by with the minimum of effort. That is she acted dumb so that no body expected much from her, but she blew it by revealing a pretty sophisticated understanding of math.

And to answer your question. I've had the same issue with job ads. I post an ad that specifically says some particular skill is necessary for the job (which they don't have) and they not only apply for the job anyway, but don't make any effort to find out what that skill involves or tailor their resume for the particular job. Its like they don't actually read the ad what so ever. Yes its frustrating.

I've only once ended up seeing a lady whose profile I didn't read thoroughly... and that was because the lady I was supposed to see couldn't make it that day.

Edit: perhaps its a sign of the times. People just don't have the patience to read anymore.

Interesting point and sorry to go off topic, and with all due respect to education and those who work to achieve it.... but isn't it funny that many think that because someone has reached the pinnacle of education that they are then "generally smart", or could not be considered "dumb". Yet, no one has an understanding of everything, so in fact they would be "dumb" about some things, wouldn't they? And simply because someone is among those with high educations, doesn't mean they'd think of them as smart, since smart people often do, dumb things:)
 
Cristy, what's with the education bashing, gee

as for any scientific consensus... Prim0 its based on evidence that is independent of any ones intelligence... data... the data is the thing that determine the consensus... not opinions
no matter what other kind of intelligence you think there is, the scientific consensus by scientists is based on evidence...

Sorry if I didn't express myself correctly, I've always praised education and I admire those who achieve it, some of my clients could attest this, since when they mention their occupation, or education( it's mentioned because I ask) and if it's what I deem remarkable, or ambitious, I'll praise them and quite significantly.
I was simply making a point that an education/degree doesn't assume a persons over all intelligence, nor character, that too would be a testament from some of my more highly educated clients, especially those with a doctoral degree:) That's not bashing education, just making a point, that has been made often to me:)

So data can never be biased, fudged, anything? You don't think it's possible manipulate "evidence" collection so that only the stuff you want to find makes it into the data? You don't think anyone ever threw out "bad data" because it didn't support the hypothesis they were testing?

And then there's the entire field of statistics that will tell you that they can make the data say whatever you want it to.

My understanding is that the climate data only comes from a very few sources. If those sources are in any way biased, don't you think that the results could be biased as well?

LOL... a single study could be fudged, or it could be wrong that's the entire point of the importance of the whole idea of the scientific "Consensus"... its based on a large collection of converging evidence from different studies, different scientists... its a finding that has be replicated over and over again and has withstood alternative explanations and other types of measurement and data....

Climate change data comes from a huge number of sources of information including direct measurement of the temperature, the physics of CO2, measurement of CO2 from all around the world, historical documents about the human consumption of fossil fuel, historical data on climate, the melting glaciers, melting ice caps, melting sea ice, changing weather patterns, increasing deserts, increasing severe weather and flooding, the increasing acidity of the oceans, and the information is quite solid. Not only that, models from the 1980's (see link below) have shown to be very accurate... predicting data with models is considered the gold standard of science. The only uncertainty is how bad the results will be... with the mild side being famine and huge economic problems in the near future such as coastal flooding and loss of farm land.

Also why would science be biased on a massive scale as you seem to believe... scientists have no vested interest in their discovery and typically make a modest income of between 60,000 to 140,000 in a carreer that takes up to 16 years of training (BA, MA, Ph.D, post docs). Hardly a career that attracts greedy people. And getting scientist to agree on anything is ridiculously hard. The oil industry attracts on the other hand would be billionaires who have greed and power as their motive for promoting the anti-scientific denial propaganda that you listen to.

Dude, you are a walking encyclopedia.
 
This is a question to all genders.
