Hello, M&J--I agree that if a woman received this sort of text one time from one man, she would be a bit unintelligent to just rule a man out from this one incident. For perspective, though, I think this might best represent what I found in writing this piece: A woman might be perceived as having an ounce of intelligence if, after she receives enough of this sort of text and sees the pattern that this sort of text typically results in her making all the effort to plan/coordinate, to lose interest in a man who sends this sort of text. Basically, a version of 'intelligence' is to recognize a pattern and then not 'fall' for that pattern again. The so-called 'intelligent' women may be those who don't give men who send this sort of text a chance after recognizing that these sort of text pretty much always end in these sort of dead ends. --Lee
