    Because some girls are taught (or experience) that some men are intimidated or put off by obvious intelligence in women.

    Only weak men want women to be less, so they can feel like more.

    Sometimes its so that people will continue to underestimate them...its easier to have dominance over someone if they dont know who or what they are dealing with, let people pander to their own egos so they dont notice that you are manipulating them.

    Basically - girls who pretend to be stupid are manipulating

    based on my personal experience, I think some women do it trying to impress boyfriends or guys they want to be their boyfriends. Others I think do it because they like the idea of projecting the image of an innocent nice girl who is naive and thus needs protection.

    I understand your question TOTALLY, but I would NEVER pretend to be STUPID..I admire my BRILLIANCE, and every other women's intelligence..after all, they've earned it...Education is extremely important in my life, as well as experience...

    I would have to say I am thankful I haven't seen that happen. I personally prefer being that girl you loves to show off what she knows and have an actual conversation.

    because they are taught to feel inferior to men, thus acting opposite of their natural rhythms. Mostly, they would attract men that aren't healthy, ones that crave control and take advantage. Its the other way around as well. (men are taught to feel superior to women) And i am not saying all men and all women are like this, just the ones that were influenced at a young age to feel in these ways.
