Why can't people easily accept display of intelligence?

Even if a woman is naturally very pretty, she still puts on make-up to look more beautiful and attractive when she goes out. If she doesn't overdo it with the make-up and her dress, no man will think she is arrogantly flaunting her beauty despite the fact that most people think to themselves that she is pretty even without the make-up. The truth is that all men will welcome and enjoy the extra beauty she has put on display. Why can't that be the case with intelligence as well? I have noticed that men become very defensive when they meet someone who's smarter than them. Why can't the reaction to something as beautiful as a smart mind be the same as the reaction to something as beautiful as a pretty face?

A hypothesis on male libido

This is just an observation from personal experience, men who sleep lying face down exhibit an insatiable long-lasting sexual urge. This is good if it's all released to the girlfriend, bad if it's released outside the relationship. Of course this is just an observation and an unusual hypothesis for psychology and sex therapy majors to test. I'm wondering that if it's true though how would a girl practically convince or make her guy to change his sleeping positions depending on the needs of the relationship over time! :)

Lie To Me (if you can!)

Tim Roth plays the face detective in this new TV series called 'Lie To Me'. He can always tell if someone's lying or telling the truth by analyzing a person's face, body, voice and speech. While watching the series I kept wondering. If every child in the world was trained in school to be able to detect lies, would people stop lying realizing it wouldn't work? What's your view?

If you were given the choice to be born with nice, long legs or with a beautiful face but not both, which one would you choose?

I would choose a naturally beautiful face because with the right kind of exercise, dress and shoes women can make their legs (short or long) look attractive. I think too much plastic surgery can actually destroy a person's face. Do you agree?
