Yes

Both the men and the women on here are incredible. I don't think I've seen this type of community any place else. I get the feeling most people who are here understand what it's like to be an outsider so they really appreciate and hear other people who have their own point of view. I feel like I'm allowed to be myself here.

My answer to the men pointing out there are amazing men here as well, and yes, I totally agree. What I do want to tell you is Women of a certain age are usually overlooked, diminished, and disregarded and frequently that is done by males. It is a fact we are in a white male dominated society. I've been told many times before that I need to hide my light under a barrel, stop being so smart or I'd scare away the boys/men The first time I remember hearing that was 1973, I was 15. Also what is beyond incredible (from my point of view) is that the women here are kind and supportive of other women. This is truly a community where women are building each other up. Guys, you don't even begin to know how unusual that is. And from the bottom of my heart I will tell you it is such a welcoming, caring, comforting, supportive community like none I have ever experienced. This is like Nirvana for me, or possibly Nerdvanna.

Hell yeah! I'm continually impressed by the intelligence,talent and compassion I see the ladies on here exhibit. I do find it IRL though. Once you get past the conditioning to see one another as competition,women are amazing.

I'd say this is certainly true. I'd say you could replace "women" with "men" in your opening question and it would certainly be true.

Couldn't agree more. Just another reason I'm really digging this place!

I agree with that... !!

I agree, both men and women on this site are more insightful than average

Selection criterion: spends time online
baseline tech savvy; desires connection, information?

Selection criterion: dating site
proactive; takes matters into own hands; self-reflective?

Selection criterion: discussion site/message board
baseline intelligence; likes to read; likes to think?

Selection criterion: atheist/agnostic
mad intelligence; self-reflective

No surprises here.

There are some great people period

Also I think there are so many smart and like minded people we tend to inspire each other which helps us to shine brighter. This is what real life should be like.

You're not biased, there are you?

Maybe you are, but I think overall, the membership here is superior.

Perhaps that's my bias showing.

It's just you.

Because this is an agnostic website and studies show that agnostics statistically have higher IQs than the average population, you will naturally meet more intelligent women.

Be advised that studies also associate creative high IQ with androgyny..so many women here will also have mixed gender traits, and be more likely to be wanting/pursuing their own careers.
