10. J, thanks for your testimony. However, I’ll point out that (1) you haven’t commented on whether your preferences are rare among women, which I guess they are; and (2) the examples you describe all seem to involve older, ie post-college-age people. I was speaking more about the younger, college-age set, who are sort of the default demographic on HUS. Do you agree or disagree that the competence shown by STEM nerds at those younger ages will tend to go unappreciated, compared to other kinds of competence? “Sizzle” and “steak” are rarely heard as descriptions of young male nerds, no matter how accomplished and competent they may be.

18. Where did you hear this? Of course, it’s just another turn of the wheel: if a smart woman wants to be appreciated for her intelligence, then there certainly are men in the world who will do that; the question then becomes, why isn’t she interested in these men? A turn of the wheel, and the focus is not on men’s preferences but on the woman’s, again. Tired of turning the wheel? Here’s a thought for the day: we all choose our own judges.

26. It’s very strange to read this. Dominating the physical environment and dominating a social environment are vastly, hugely, enormously different undertakings; the skills for one, and the people who have them, have very little overlap with those for the other in my experience. Props to you if you find a man who does both! but, really, they’re such different things that it makes no sense to run them together, IMHO.
