I used to correlate not having much to say as not being intelligent.
So for most of my life, i considered myself a academic imbecile due to never taking part in class discussions.
Then i realized... it wasn't due to a lack of cerebral adeptness and scholastic aptititude; but i just wasn't (and still not) a very opinionated person (and this is true because even in the real world, i seldom judge people cuz i really don't care, accept the ideology that we're all different and that's what makes being human great).
The woman debate?
Being a shy child, i didn't interact with women very much. But in my 20's when i began getting more comfortable with women, dating more and communicating with them frequently - i've come to realize that women (for the most part) are blessed with a naturally high IQ (at least, the ones i come across; typically college educated, but they attended school because they had the drive and natural brains to enter, complete and succeed thereafter in the professional spectrum).
But you have to consider this. When most of us were being young, dumb, full of cum and rum... a lot of broads, starting in middle-highschool, were already talking to their uncles, older male cousins and building mature relationships very early (and dear i say it, dating dudes 5-10 years their senior - some older).
That dynamic that women experience early on allows them to mature much faster (and its not just their bodies *does diddy lip bite*). Thus, allowing them to be smarter than the average bear due to the information, wisdom and overall trivial shiit that most (older and cultured) dudes tend to pass teach and condition them with.
Us guys aren't that lucky. With our fathers either 1. Not present 2. Always at work 3. Too deep into religion (to where schooling you on cool shiit would be deem blasphemous) 4. Or flat out indifferent on cultivating awesome sons - the groundwork and foundation isn't layed out quite as prominently. Of course, this is just a mass generalization, but i find to be true across many generational or cultural sectors).
Smarts/intelligence imo, is based on how well you process information (for instance, jokes, puzzles or problems) and how you react/respond to it. It's also also articulation and wit (the prior learned, the latter developed - wit is talent in my eyes though, but you've got to be intelligent to manipulate words and discussion and create analogies and metaphors at the drop of a hat - and not too many women harness that ability, at least, not be funny doing it).
A great skill that women do have is that they have an uncanny ability to memorize things, be orderly and regurgitate information (this is why they make perfect assistants - not so much leaders).
But i've concluded that no matter how intelligent the woman, how accepted she is by society, how stupendous her income levels are or possess the gateway to all the resources and amenities in the world; they're never satisfied. They're all borderline or ARE psychotic. And one thing they don't have is a piece of mind (they're always concerned about something, even when there's no matter/issue or a damn thing to worry about).
And you know why they always feel that way?
Cuz they know that no matter what they do, where they are, who their with or how well they did something...
By the end of the day - They'll still be women.
