Overheard Advice

A conversation about beauty and love that I overheard in the lobby last week:

"You better learn to be pretty. Men don't love you for what's inside. It's against their nature. And there's only one type of man who loves a woman for her brains and, honey, I hope you like Star Trek."

If I ever calm down and stop laughing.....oh my! What a view of men in general.

I suppose I should take this seriously, but it is not in MY nature.

Long after Mr Wonderful and I got married and had kids - I found out that he was a HUGE trek fan.

It makes me want to object but the Star Trek bit hits a little too close to home.

Plus, I have to admit that when I was single I made up elaborate lies about what I found attractive in my girlfriends rather than admit that I just liked intelligent professional and academic women. If I ever told the truth, they turned very cold over it.

I have a hard time understanding why women don't want to be appreciated for their brains.

BTW - The Washington Post had an article today about how NYers perfer meeting at museums and lectures instead of bars these days.

So someone like to date smart people.....

Weren't you the one that wrote "smart women are hte hwat?" I loved that!
