What specifically should a man do?
I know what I did.
I stopped looking to make any sort of intellectual connection with women. I learned to "keep things light."
I read well over 100 books (and far more articles in serious scientific journals) on personality development, social psychology, psychopathology, narcissism, body language, etc.
I basically used the same brain that had served me so well in an academic environment to learn human psychology and persuasion.
Really smart people tend to live in their heads more and have to learn to get "outside" of their heads.
That means ending the non-stop intellectual inner monologue.
Stop probing for deeper meaning and truth.
Alcohol numbs the brain, but what worked best for me....
Just getting jacked and dressing well.
Now I basically look like a caveman. No one would guess how smart I am.
+1 mate. We're running
the exact same game. The bigger and more aggressive I got, the more pussy came my way. The more I downplayed my intelligence and became a caveman, the greater the success. I studied linguistics to train myself out of my educated speech patterns and conform to the coarser speech of my country, because I noted all the hot girls in high school dated down with coarser-speaking men, not up with refined ones. My speaking voice is the agreeable, unintimidating sound of lower-to-average intelligence that allows people to underestimate me and let down their guard.
I've found Women prefer the caveman to the scholar, even the self-confessed 'intelligent' women react with animal lust to a muscular physique. They like things light and fluffy, so asking her analysis of social interactions around you is a great way to create intimacy - you're both in a bubble together studying the other people around you, outside the moment, in a private world. 'Us vs Them'. It's a good common interest for vastly different intelligences.

To someone with a really high IQ, that is what talking to a smart person feels like.
Now that doesn't mean you can't find a way to effectively communicate or relate to a dull person.
Just like having a high IQ doesn't mean it's impossible to relate to a smart person or above average person.
Communication Gulf Theory says true communication breaks down entirely at only 2 Standard Deviations difference (+/- 30 IQ points). After that, the higher IQ reads as mentally-insane to the lower, and the lower IQ reads as mentally-retarded to the higher. I suspect what you and I are doing is simply dumbing down our presentation to negate the appearance of insanity - and therefore the low social value that would ascribe to us - to successfully game women we consider retarded, and are therefore incapable of engaging intellectually as we would with men.
Women would label this misogyny, but since at just 120 IQ you have twice as many men as women, (and it increase exponentially as intelligence rises), I doubt very few ever experience the Communication Gulf in action - except with Actual Retarded People. They simply don't understand how Higher Thought works, because they have no conception of it. Their flawed logic makes perfect sense to them, because they don't realise it could be read as retarded thought by a man with a higher IQ.
One recent example I did see of the gulf in action was the recent Rape Culture articles of Caroline Kitchens (intelligent) vs Gloria Ryan (retarded). Poor Kitchens is mystified why she's being accused of saying what she obviously didn't. Ryan is looking to demonise her as a dangerously insane kook. I'd suspect > 30 IQ point difference between them.
Another thing to remember is that although IQ is measured in numerical units, once you start getting into the higher numbers, the gulf becomes much greater. An IQ difference of 110 and 120 shares the same measurement as 160 and 170, but the difference between the latter is a huge increase in processing power compared to the former.
There's also some thoughtcrime research studies that conclude that men and women's matching IQ scores aren't actually equivalent: that 120 Female IQ is actually 'dumber' than 120 Male IQ.
I think there can be some misunderstanding of IQ as a clear label of intelligence. Think of it as a measurement of
Potential Horsepower. Also remember it degrades as you age.
