It's funny I have found the opposite. When I was a JW I never interacted much with other men...it was discouraged you know! But since that time I have enjoyed getting to know several men and to my suprise have found that they are very supportive and happy to meet women that are intelligent and have a sense of humor. I feel that some women might tend to supress these qualities because they feel that men won't like them if they seem to smart or sassy. lol being married I don't really care one way or the other if they like me so I tend to be myself and am really impressed with the response I get from men. lol of course I am not saying I am the brightest crayon in the box...but hopefully I am not the dullest either
Of course there are exceptions to every rule!!!
