There are many things, that life teaches you. And the ones that take home in your head are the ones that are life altering. Certain conversations and discussions, no matter how random they may be, leave such a lasting impression that litres of turpentine seem insufficient. One of them being that women who are intelligent, don't find men.
Which means the dumber a woman, the greater her chances of landing Mr. Right. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not on a feminist trip here. But on deeper probing, I figured that maybe it is right. (no offence to all my happily married, almost married, going to get married girlfriends- you're the best) All our growing up lives, we're taught that intelligence is a virtue, it's what will set you apart from them. But as we grow up, intelligence starts becoming a vice. Especially if you're in the singles market. Maybe it shows on your face, maybe it scares the 'smarter' species off.
Why?
Are men today so insecure that they'd settle for a great face and the right statistics that could just as well be stuffed with hay? Or is it that they don't like their intelligence, their points of view questioned, and they love having the last word? It's funny really, some years ago, a good friend of mine told me, that conversation was the biggest turn on- maybe that's what made him and his wife click- that's what made them rise higher than just being an ordinary couple to being great partners. I agree. I know her, and she's smart. Very smart. And my friend- well he's just plain lucky to have her in his life. And on many heart pouring sessions, he's admitted to not being as intelligent as his wife- and hell, that's what he loves the most about her.
I feel that what men overlook is that, one day or the other, the great looks and the gym-toned body will all die out and all that will be left are two chairs on a balcony, and two people sharing a cup of tea. And if you have nothing to talk about at that point- you're headed towards doomsville. Or you're already there. But just a little dumb to figure that out.
Imagine, waking up in the morning, setting aside the 'sweeties' and the 'babies' and talking about what's happening in the world. Imagine, having a partner who can kick your ass when it comes to world issues and not mind getting her's kicked, if she gets the facts all messed up.
In the interim however, I'm happy being single. And not having to worry about toning it down. And I'm quite sure there are a lot of women out there who feel the same way.
And a lot of men, who don't.
To them- my apologies.

The smartest woman i know pretends to be the dumbest woman i know...so that the dumbest guy i know, feels like the smartest.
And you're right. Men would marry anything that looks like it's going to be good in bed.IQ be damned. There's always wikipedia for that.
"darling, why do men think with their dicks?"
Really? Do they? In that case, could you blow my mind,"
that about sums it up.
well put rayo.
see that's the point- at the end of a long long day, intelligence is just a mind @#$%
what is smartness and intelligence but a relative term. I mean, Indira Nui( i hope i got her name right) might be the most intelligent and most powerful businesswoman, but it doesn't do it for me,ladiz. ANd my wife, on the other hand might be( I said might be) boring to the entire world but for me, it's a pleasure catching up with her. And that's all that matters.
No matter how boring or unintriguing your guy is to the entire world, if he is your 'einstein' and you are his, i guess, you are home.
That's so true.
I know so many guys who are intimidated with women who show even an ounce of intelligence. And though they find it interesting, somehow they can't handle it! Strange.
I was once told by a guy friend, "I can't imagine you having a boyfriend. You are too independent!" What does that mean?
ha ha ha ha ha
