In many repects my self esteem is good. I've realized I feel threatened by intelligent women who are very attractive because I become a moron when I find a woman very attractive, can hardly string a sentence together.

The fact that they are trying to make an impression by showing how intelligently they can chatter about complex subjects turns the whole situation into excrutiating torture (& not some fun S&M kind of torture).

I wonder if there is any way out of this, choosing women I feel more equal to in attractiveness perhaps, but sometimes these super attractive smart women show an interest in me which hard to walk away from.
