content: I'd hate to copy/paste from the submitted link because I really like stackexchange and I would like them to get hits, but I'll do it here, of the answer on the page:  First an experiment is set up where the fake results are given in a separate room from the potential date. In this case, performing worse than the date predicts more likelihood to ask the partner out or find them attractive. Secondly another experiment is set up so that the fake results are given in front of the potential date. In this case, performing better than the date predicts more likelihood to ask the partner out or find them attractive. I don't see how that supports that "men are threatened by intelligent women". It simply shows the obvious result that when someone's ego is boosted by good results they are more optimistic and when their ego is deflated they become timid. The authors themselves admit to that, although they simply dismiss this as a "limitation".
