Let me clear up one mystery of the mythology of Woman. When we’re little, around 7 or 8 years old, we discover we fall into a category: we can be pretty, or we can be smart. Sometimes, life chooses for us. Other times, it’s a conscious choice we make that shapes the entirety of our lives. But never, never can a girl be both.
Oh wait. That’s pure and utter bullshit.
Thanks, guy. I’m glad you came in with low expectations!

Men are very guilty of this outlook. The vast majority of guys want to be with a pretty woman, rather than with an intelligent one. It makes them feel safe for a while. Very few men prefer an intelligent woman. This is an ugly truth. However, there is something even worse: being an intelligent AND pretty woman. Hardly any men find that an attractive proposition largely because they are not both those things themselves and are therefore intimidated.

I’d take being single and intimidating over being attached and a doormat, any day!

I have had this comment SO many times its not funny. I think because I am blonde they expect me to be stupid and then they find out the truth and get all intimidated! If any man is intimidated by my intelligence then it’s time to say – NEXT!
