Why aren't guys attracted to smart girls?

:shrug:

are insecure around a woman with a brain. I'm sure you knew that though.

Smart is very sexy.

I didn't say that I was not attracted to smart women, I said many men are in general scared of a smart woman.

:blush:

:D

Ditto for "nice" when guys wonder why girls don't like "nice" guys. I know an actual "nice" fellow who is built like Apollo, and guy has never had problems with women.

:shrug:

:D

Really. :-)

But with my luck lately, they don't seem to be attracted to me. :/

Intelligence is a deal-breaker for me — particularly the abilities to properly use words and to have an original thought.

I suppose there are guys who want stupid women. They're stupid themselves, or incredibly insecure.

Incredibly insecure is the key there.

i can't believe everyone got this worked up.

btw, i'm not insecure. i personally don't like guys my age anyways since they are all immature.


i can't believe everyone is this worked up over a lounge thread :rofl:

Most boys your age are very insecure, as are most girls. Boys that age tend to not want to date anyone that might "show them up" in any way.

It's the age more than anything. It'll get better as you get older.

to be honest, i don't really go around "looking for guys." when i was in school(i homeschool now) i hung around with the "popular" crowd, but the guys i liked were always the "quiet nerdy" guys who had great personalities, but stayed off to themselves. those guys i could be great friends with, but none of them seemed interested in actually going out with me. i am still good friends with a lot of them now.

I bet some of them probably were interested, but too scared or shy to do anything about it, or just didn't know how to. Dating is a habit. If you're not used to it, you may not know how to get started. If there were any of them you were interested in, just how big of a clue-by-four did you bonk them over the head with? To get through to a nerdy high school boy that it's okay for them to ask you out or kiss you or something like that, can take a mighty big whack.

When I was a nerdy junior high school boy, years ago, a girl I had a crush on kissed me on the mouth - she just got up from her table when the substitute teacher was out for a few minutes, walked over to mine, kissed me totally by surprise, then went back to her seat. It still didn't occur to me that maybe, just maybe, that might mean she was attracted. My best guess was that she was teasing me, but mostly I was baffled.

That's the sort of cluelessness you have to put up with when dealing with nerdy young boys who haven't dated.

It is premised on the assumptions that all women who attract men are dumb, and that all men are dumber than women.

isn't that true though? ;) :P

I get hit on by guys but I swear, as soon as i actually open my mouth and talk about something besides make-up or gossip they walk away.

then again, i am in alabama with a bunch of idiots.

...:shrug:

Men are not wise until they have put some distance between themselves and the basic instinct to sow their seed....

Usually around the age of 30....

In my humble opinion....

i've got a while then, lol.

They will be kind to you when you are older...

;-)

When I was a young man, I wanted to spend most of my time talking about make-up. :*

and didn't care about much besides popularity and appearance.

and if you didn't want a girl like that then you were very different than most young guys.


then again, it might just be a thing in the south.

I really did not "want" any of the "popular" girls. The price of popularity was just too much for my limited social skills and anxieties.

at least in my school.
There were nine students who made National Honor Society as juniors. 3 boys and 6 girls. Of the 6 girls, two of them were candidates for homecoming queen, and another was Cherry Prom queen and queen in her Freshman year. The other 3 candidates for homecoming queen all made National Honor Society in their senior year.
Contrary to the stereotype - the pretty and popular girls were not stupid. At least not if grades are a valid measure of intelligence.

get older.

I don't know why, but even if you're very good-looking and intelligent, most men would rather you not be TOO smart. Many of them, even the liberals, on some level prefer a subordinate. :wtf:

even when I was younger. If you're a smart woman, why would you even _want_ to attract guys who aren't attracted to smart women? I mean, if they don't appreciate an important part of who you are, why waste a minute on them? :shrug: (And I'd say the same thing about women who aren't attracted to smart guys. Why waste your energy pining away over a woman just doesn't "get" you?)

Oh. You mean after the six most important parts. I get it.

:evilgrin:

:spank:

i live in the south with a bunch of IDIOTS! lol

...It's not that there aren't liberal intellectuals down here. In fact, those that are, are usually VERY liberal. It's just that the pool is not that big. But I will add, they are down here, so keep looking!

the same age, and she also lives in Alabama. Is dating a nice guy but he isn't "IT" - she agrees with you, they're idiots!!

I keep telling her to move.........

But the area.

As a guy, I went through the same-thing-only-different growing up in Alabama thirty years ago. I guess it's worse for you, though, given the "southern belle" culture and all the freight that carries.

Here's a hint, just the same: the odds are that he's not on the football, baseball or basketball teams just as in my day she wasn't likely to be a cheerleader, or in church. The guys whose company you'll enjoy are much more likely to be writing for the school paper, in the A/V club, Thespian Society, Young Democrats or some such. I know you're home-schooled, but just sayin'.

Best of luck! I'm sure you're gearing toward not going to college in Alabama, which is the one way you'll best find out that a lot of what you're talking about is cultural.

It's hard being an intelligent young person. It's even harder being an intelligent young person in the Deep South. The system is distinctly geared away from you.

I tend to much prefer smart chicks.

Yes, I'm aware that's horrible grammar and probably ironic. I don't care. Gonna go sleep for 12 hours or so.

It's just something you can't overcome.

Is that why Mark Knopfler always wears a headband?

I'd rather not talk about makeup and gossip if it's quite all right, but I'd also rather not be manipulated and played around with like a violin. Not that all smart girls are like this, of course, just the ones I'm attracted to, apparently. :banghead:

Why can't I like some *nice* people for a change?! :grr:

if you're young, you probably are intimidating a lot of guys, but that doesn't mean they don't find you attractive. Trust me, when you go back for reunions they'll all tell you how much they always liked you but didnt't think they were in your league.

or whatever you want to call it. but i seems as soon as i open my mouth and actually carry on a real discussion they don't talk to me anymore.


maybe i should just start weaking gobs of makeup, short skirts, and keep my mouth shut except for the occasional "oh my gawd" or "whateva."

:rant:

a happily kept woman.

Kept by what is another story.

yes, they tend to be dumb but their defining characteristic is how unbelievably self-absorbed they are. Trust me, every guy gets tired of some air head bimbo who never shuts up ever.

The reason the guys are "attracted" to them is they are *EASY*

And really, thats the answer to your whole thread right there. It has nothing to do with intelligence and everything to do with putting out.

EDIT: and no I'm not implying anything about being dumb and being promiscuous. Nor am I implying that brainy chicks tend to be prudes. Sometimes its just as easy to get a smart chick in bed...sometimes

Got bad laryngitis once, and still went out bar-hopping with my friend who lived in D.C. Ended up giving TWO guys my business card - and one was so smitten he wrote to me, inviting me to visit his big farm or whatever in Virgina (didn't respond to either of them, since I live a couple hours north)

I NEVER got that far when I was able to speak!!!

Made me thing - maybe smiling and nodding a lot was the true secret to success! (that and a black leather miniskirt).

Seriously, though - it's all where you go fishing. If you get involved in things that attract smart guys, you're going to up the odds that they find smart girls attractive. Theater, politics, science-related interests, anything considered "geeky".

I'm 54, married and not much to look at. But as a tech writer, I make a lot of phone calls to engineering types, and find that men seem to like my voice.
Ask a few trusted friends for an honest opinion. If people think the tone, pitch, speed or accent could use some work, this is something you can change.
Another thought - everybody, male and female, enjoys being with people who listen well. Could it be that when you had laryngitis, the men found you a great listener? Being able to really listen to people is a valuable life skill, and doesn't indicate a lack of intelligence.
Listening skills include focusing on the speaker, not looking around the room, making an occasional nod or sound to indicate that you're paying attention, and being able to reflect back what the person tells you, instead of heading off on a different subject.

It's not the voice - I'm hyper aware of that, since I had polyps on the vocal chords in college, and went through extensive speech therapy to correct it. Plus I got rid (or at least mitigated) my Philadelphia accent with additional speech therapy at the same time. So it wasn't the voice. (Sadly, it was BETTER before the speech therapy, men LOVED my hoarse voice, which sounded like Susan St. James. Afterwards, it was no longer distinct and sexy) But you are right on the mark - most people are totally unaware of how they sound.

Listening was definitely the key -- although I'm paid to listen now as a focus group moderator, (including the nodding, reflecting, total focus on the respondent, plus body language and phrases to get people to elaborate further) I was a chatterbox back in my barhopping days. Being forced to do 100% of the listening and 0% talking was probably a big part of the appealn of the laryngitis (although I'm not counting out the miniskirt)

said it best:

"I'm lookin' for a smart woman
in a real short skirt.
Smart woman who knows
how to flirt.
Smart woman, got a mind of her own;
smart woman, wants to take me home . . .
take me home."

So no, don't discount the skirt!

:hi:

sort of my anthem (along with "Fruitcakes")

for the Gulf Coast to recover.

Really need to make a trip to the FloraBama Lounge.

Who knew you were a parrothead? Cool! :hi:

Don't ever deny who you are for someone else. :hug:

I can only imagine the looks of horror and "Joe Bob, I thank her's got her two haids" or some such that probably runs through the "mind" of the average Alabama boy when you start talking about stuff that *really* matters.

After all, you're in a place where a whole, whole lot of people don't think George Bush follows Christ. They think he *is* Christ.

I am uhh what is it social inept, yeah.

It's not that I'm not *attracted* to smart girls, it's just that I'm not any better at approaching them than I am at approaching less-than-smart girls.

I'm very nervous about approaching women. I tried to find a club where I could do that, but all I got when looking for singles was businesses for shingles.

I could have had a girl give me her phone number & tell me to call her and I'd still be unsure.

since i've pissed off at least half of the men in the lounge :rofl:

I only responded to this thread because I'm pissed off with a certain girl, who, while definitely intelligent, is also psychotic and manipulative and seems to delight in screwing with my head, yet I keep going back for more. :grr: I needed some place to vent a little. It's keeping me awake.

I've no theory about this yet though. As opposed to the nerd one.

the hand of a woman with a substandard IQ.

Dumb women (even ugly ones) attract more men. What's worse is that they attract all the rich ones.

Dumb, BUXOM women attract rich men, because men like that want trophies to show off. But I've seen a lot of dumb women that will never be in that place, because they're not eye candy.

I wish I'd seen more proof otherwise.

I have one. He thinks I'm smart. I do score in the millionth percentile...

to.

Many of us are rather shy and are quite attracted to smart women, but never really learned how to initiate a relationship.

I like big ones small ones round ones short ones. Do I dig that girl. Do I dig that girl.

:shrug:

Same bullshit question with the same bullshit answer. God damn the bad boy shit is tedious when it rolls around every other week.

:shrug:

I like smart girls because I dont go for looks. Always know who they are and how their personality fits, and to me, I love a smart woman. I HATE the popular girls mainly because most of them act stupid, and thus are stupid.

Here's something a prep said last year:

Teacher: Well, today we're going to look into the outcome of the Civil War and how it affected America.
Prep: Wait a minute....WE HAD A CIVIL WAR?!



Also, she thought a Hydrometer was a washing machine.

:hi:

no one could be that dumb. After the past 5 years however, I weep for our country. :cry:

I think you guys totally took it the wrong way.

I check personalities before looks, I didnt say looks sucked.

I was talking about a post where someone didn't know there was a civil war.

Huh? Smart women are beautiful too.

Geesh.

:D



...well, they are DRESSED smart! ;)

Myself, for instance

Well... I am.

:hi:

I'm a girl though. I actually even have a shirt that says "Reading is Sexy" and another that says "Nerdy Girls Make Me Hot." I still need to order the one that has a picture of Shakespeare with the caption "Prose before Ho's."

especially those with unique, quirky personalities, including the nerdy glasses.

And I married a fellow PhD. No insecurities about an intelligent woman here.

I do hear where you're coming from, though. Hope your luck changes.

"Why do women only like bad boys" thread. :rofl:

Brainy chicks are the hottest.

He has little tolerance for stupid, and I can't imagine him ever, ever dating an airhead bimbo type. And he married me (a Ph.D. student, geeky, was in gifted class in elementary school, intellectual "elitist" and all of that).

Only stupid insecure guys are really interested in stupid girls. And you don't want one of them anyway. I know of which I speak because before my husband I was living with a man who was extremely threatened by the "smart" things about me. He used to make fun of me for reading, for instance, and would pick fights if I accidentally started discussing something that he didn't happen to know about. That guy eventually turned out to be emotionally and physically abusive, and I left after he threw me into a wall and destroyed some of my stuff.

but even in the deepest of the south, I suspect that there is a young Jimmy Carter out there willing to listen to your liberal rants. Peace and low stress.

My own observation: mature men do look for women who are at least an intellectual equal if they are looking for more than a physical relationship.

An insecure man has trouble being with a self assured intelligent woman. If the woman/girl is really smart, she'll find ways to put him at ease.


:hi:

They can't stand to be made to sound uneducated by a woman.

they're hiding out from the jocks and spoiled rich kids so as not to get beaten up. Or pretending to be jocks or spoiled rich kids so as not to get beaten up.

Heh! That's pretty much what I did all through HS: hid out with the stoners, pretended I liked cars, and (unfortunately) abused a lot of drugs and booze. Thank the gods for college.

Total fucking idiots 'round my town. :grr:

Does it ever get any better?

:shrug:

I'd like an SO who I can have an intelligent discussion with.

it seems you're trying to piss off southerners as well as men, eh?

"let me re-phrase, why are young guys not attracted to smart girls? I get hit on by guys but I swear, as soon as i actually open my mouth and talk about something besides make-up or gossip they walk away. then again, i am in alabama with a bunch of idiots."

I'm from the North but lived in the South for a couple years. I really like Southern girls with Southern accents, but I spent more time dating women not from the South because they were all sick of redneck guys with accents that they thought sounded stupid. I guess I was one of the few guys around without much of an accent that also had some ambition and intelligence, so the Northern girls who didn't like Southern guys were always after me.

Yeah, no matter what region of the US you're in, it doesn't fare well in the local dating pool when you muddy it with insults of the very people you want to date.

:thumbsup:

i don't go around saying this to people here.

that's the wonderful thing about the "internets"

:P

That is the way to stand up for yourself. :thumbsup:

Although I was born here in CA, I grew up in the south, and I know what you mean! Get out of there the first chance you get.

And don't let the bullies win. :D

And there are a LOT of southern men on DU. So, it's not like you're not saying it to some southern men. Another wonderful thing about the "internets."

"We want to a girl's hero, not the other way around. A guy does not want to be less intelligent and less accomplished than his girlfriend. He does not want to feel inferior to her"
I suppose that's why I decided to go to a college that was competitive, where there were a lot of intelligent and accomplished people. Well not just that, I guess.

you let a few good ones get past you. you will then stop doing it.
book smart isn't life smart,

Give me a smart artistic woman and I'll be in heaven.

And stupidity.
I, on the other hand, am very attracted to women I can have intelligent conversations with.

I love smart girls!I can't stand bimbos!

She's never boring,always fun and a sex goddess. So there.:bounce:

Ahh, the mysteries of life.

:P

I'd be in a relationship right now. :shrug:

Next question, please. :-)

:hi: Wish y'all'd just go ahead and hitch it!

and 2 undergraduate degrees. And, I think she is gorgeous & sexy and very smart.

:)

and think what a lucky guy I am...

Unfortunately, one of the cousins I had mentioned to you a while back is not coming to college in the US in the near future.

Beauty and brains are a wonderful combination. I love a woman who can talk dirty in three syllable words.

My husband wouldn't be with me, if I wasn't his intellectual equal.

He demands way more then a pretty face. He would be bored to tears with a piece of eye candy.

And, so would I!

You are just hanging around the wrong guys!

We've all done it. We've all gazed at the most popular boy in school, the rebel, the jock and wanted him. Chances are he's not the right one and will never be the right one for you.

Are you looking for someone right now? Look around at the smaller clubs at your school. Look at Drama, Strategy and Tactics, Debate, Chess, Science and Computer clubs. There are many guys there who would gladly date an intelligent young woman, especially if she cleans up as well as you do in your pictures. Take a look at the guys in votech classes. Many are smart enough that they are looking for a career right out of high school and want the training for it right now. Compared to the rest of us they don't feel that they have time to waste and have already found something they are interested in.

Myself, I never gave the guys in FFA a chance. Looking back I realize that I was an idiot. From the outside they seem rough and unintelligent. Now I realize that most were very sweet and extremely smart. They are usually gentlemen who don't demand more than you want to give and most come from families where hard work, both in labor and in school, is respected. And the biggest secret of all about the FFA guys: Most are more liberal then you would think. Most don't even realize that they are liberal, at least in some areas.

Farmers tend to be in favor of conservation (to an extent) and in favor of ecology. They tend to hate big business(remember, they are fighting megafarms), they want to learn how to farm to preserve their land instead of strip it and many are in favor of alternate fuel sources (there's money in ethanol). And most farmers are in favor of animal cruelty laws. Yes, they may be ranchers or pig or chicken farmers but most believe in treating the animal in a cruelty-free environment.

Just look for guys in other places. They are out there.

:shrug:

You made that observation where?

it can be shallowness and some of us are afraid we'll be treated like we're dumb. It's still embarassing, even if we are.

Of course, they also have to have stellar racks and legs to ya-ya.

.

smart girls.

it's nice to have a conversation in between...

My better half for 18 years is definitely the brains of the fam, she can't figure out the remote, but she can read an ECG, diagnose prolonged QT syndrome, dictate 15 charts and be home by 5:30 - I, on the other hand, not too bright, but can play a hell of a fiddle!
Guys like brains!

Direct from the rules page:

"Do not post broad-brush, bigoted statements."

The guys attracted to the smart ladies aren't normally the ones they want attracted to them.
I think brainy girls are hot as hell.
specially if they wear those lisa lobe dark framed glasses yowza.

But on that note Why aren't girls attracted to nice guys??

that's a must for me. The problem is, although I love smart women, that usually means they are too smart to go out with me. :( Something about seeing right through me and all. :)

unfortunately for you, she's married to me!:)

with someone for a second there. :) Curses!

I am actually sort of seeing a smart someone right now. We'll see if she can survive my idiosyncratic nature. I weaseled out of a date with her one night a few weeks ago because I didn't want to miss Smackdown. That's fucked up I know. But, I just can't miss pro wrestling you know? :)

And Mr. Kennedy isn't even back yet!:)

I'm so lucky; I know I'm a touch (well, more than a touch) "eccentric" myself and Mrs. E finds it endearing rather than strange, I guess. You'll find that woman who embraces yours, too...

I said I had "family obligations." She had tickets for a play and I knew one of her friends wanted to go too, so I sacrificed myself so her friend could take my place. That and pro wrestling is the shit, so you know how that goes.

Oh, I'm a total loner type. People don't fully grasp that because I'm funny and so on, but I'd rather chill by myself than do just about anything. I find I don't keep in touch with people like I should, as a result.

Endearing? Man, it would be nice to find someone who thinks me being a bizarre weirdo is endearing.... that'd be cool.

Mr. Kennedy should be back any week now right?

Hey, do you watch TNA? The monster Abyss - obvious Kane and Mankind ripoff- does this finishing move where he picks a guy up in a torture rack and comes down almost like a Samoan Drop. I invented that move over ten years ago! When I first saw that fucker do that, I nearly fainted. I've been so pissed for the last two months. Damn him for stealing my move. At least nobody has ever done the Spiderweb Deathlock that I invented. It's a weird version of an STF, much like an amateur wrestling move called the Turk. It's badass. I still have that anyway. :)

Samoa Joe is the shit, and the future of wrestling, IMO. And if he were in the WWE he'd never get a push solely because of his look, even though he's better than 90 percent of the wrestlers on pure ability alone. Abyss
is indeed the lovechild of Kane and Mankind; supposedly Sting lists him as one of his favorites, which is a shock to me; I would have never figured...

I love AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels, too; The X division is the best thing going in wrestling right now. Cant' stand Jeff Jarrett, though...

And this:

"Oh, I'm a total loner type. People don't fully grasp that because I'm funny and so on, but I'd rather chill by myself than do just about anything. I find I don't keep in touch with people like I should, as a result."

Could have been written by me; it's scary how alike we are..

:)

Oh Samoa Joe! The guy is awesome, he's my favorite TNA guy. He has the coolest finishing moves. AJ Styles has a really cool finisher too. TNA seems like they allow their guys to do crazier stuff and more explosive moves. I always tease my brother, the cage fighter, and say stuff like "So, who do you think would win in the Octagon, Samoa Joe or (UFC Light Heavyweight Champion) Chuck Liddell?" Hahaha

It cracks him up at the thought of a pro wrestler fighting in a regular fight, although in the Pride Fighting in Japan they get pro wrestlers that fight. I remember this one Japanese pro wrestler, some legend I can't remember offhand, fought one of the Gracies, I think Rickson. The Gracie family are the most badass jiu-jitsu competitors ever and, Rickson Gracie might be the best, so anyway, he and this pro wrestler are really tangling and the guy is giving a helluva account of himself. He gets Rickson down to the ground and is pummelling him when all of a sudden he goes for a monkey flip, lol. Out of nowwhere in a real effing fight this pro wrestler tries some pro wrestling move on one of the best fighters ever, haha. Needless to say it didn't work, it actually cost him the fight as he got submitted a short time later. It was great though.

...but I love wise women (smart girls become wise women). It's the wisdom curve for me.

buy into the fairy tales too much. Their vision of love is riding in on the white horse or saving the girl from the Kraken. When they don't know much about women, the best in they can think of is helping her out with something she can't do- lifting a heavy box, or helping her program her VCR. Stupid girls need more help, so they're easier to meet.

It's not that they aren't attracted to smart girls- it's that they don't know how to meet them. As they get older, more confident and more interesting they develop better ways to meet the smart girls and hence seem more attracted to them.

My theory anyway. :shrug:

Dumb guys like dumb girls.

I've gotten hit on by plenty of stupid men because they think they like the package and could care less about the more important stuff. I find with smarter men I've had to drop bigger hints sometimes. Fortunately, I've had a number of important relationships in life- all with very unique and intelligent men (who might like the package, but stay for more important reasons). I'm sure you will as well. It's human nature. You'll probably even get your heart really broken a few times before you meet the right person.

Speaking as a man who dumped a dumb semi-pro-cheerleader for a short and round smart woman, I think your way over-generalizing.

So much so that I married one.

:patriot:

Smart girls, and smart guys, are both pretty much a minority. Since people generally want to be with someone who is equal to them intellectually (not that "opposites attract" stuff), the pools for smart guys and smart girls are both pretty small. The problem is finding out who is actually smart. There were popular, attractive girls in high school that got really good grades, but when they got to college... :shrug: suddenly being popular and attractive didn't help you out with class, like it did in high school.

:evilgrin:

I have always had them running around me and it had nothing to do with whether or not I had brains. Maybe it has to do with your other attributes. I had a ball through high school and college. College men certainly respected someone with brains.

Perhaps you should seek to improve your self-esteem and self-confidence. I think most people are attracted to others who are secure with who they are. By no means am perfect, but you have to take risks to gain the rewards.

BTW, I had academic scholarships all across the country and several sports ones as well. So I was not some pasty-faced brainiac.

But then I'm not 'normal' (whatever that means)

seriously, smart and funny are at the top of my list


(along with big um, never mind)

Or fixated on being 'hot', or fixated on being anything.

That doesn't count?

So you'll excuse my flaws
:o

See with the public teasin? :P

;-)

I mean it

i had hoped this one would finally go away. looks like someone kicked it. :eyes:

No one has said that yet??

What is the source of this miraculous blessing?

Sting. Ted Turner. Whoever's married to Christiane Amanpour.

They're out there.

People like people like themselves. If you're smart then the set of guys who are of like mind are also a smallish percentile.

Stop looking at the jocks and start looking at the nerds.

I know, the nerds aren't much fun to look at. But there's a secret here. The nerds usually improve with age, while the jocks usually don't.

:P

:shrug:

Is intelligence really any better a measure of someone's value than looks? If so, why?

and if you are intelligent then perhaps you are presumed to have an advantage in the race to grab the most money?

don't really know, just guessing here really

intelligence, like beauty, fades, and it seems to me that the decline in one's ability to learn and retain new information is particularly frustrating when it starts to go if you are used to being intelligent, i suppose average or stupid people don't notice anything in their 40s since they never remembered anything to begin with, but it's just as frustrating as the slow decline of one's looks if you ask me and there's no botox for the mind

anything good is impermanent, people admit beauty fades but don't admit that a lot of older people are off their game, so they sort of falsely weigh the scale in favor of brain over brawn

are loud, know-it-all, and talk too much. I can't deal with that kind of person, whether its a guy or girl. They make both me and baby Jesus cry in pain.

Exceptionally intelligent men are attracted to intelligent women. Shallow men who are not the intellectual type may normally choose looks over substance. I think that most intelligent men like a woman that they can conversate with and present to their friends, family and colleagues proudly. They are smart enough to know that attaction based on appearance does not last very long. The novelty of arm candy wears off very quickly.

they got a huge rack, and a nice butt :hide:

I don't know why there should be a problem.

On edit: Especially my very intelligent wife (who is looking over my shoulder right now...)
