He has his guy friends, why would he want a woman to be one of the guys? He has compartmental tastes and desires.

Who wants a so-called "woman" who burps and farts? That's what "one of the guys" is.

There are hot women who have tomboy interests, but by no means are they "one of the guys."

Haha, that's true, I guess JeepGirl is good at psychoanalyzing me

Hey I don't mind a girly girl, but she has to be a really cool one. That means not getting offended easily and getting angry over small things, expecting me to understand everything that may be wrong with her even without her saying everything, etc. There are cool girls out there, I think. I have had some not-so-great relationship experiences, but... I hold out hope. There are lots of things I like about girls, but I find especially that the late 20s girls seem to have a lot more ability to be rational, calm, cool, etc. than the younger girls. I personally don't think it's true at all, in fact I think it's laughable, that girls are more mature than guys at any age but especially at a young age. How many high school guys in relationships do you imagine think it's their "true love" and they're going to live happily ever after? NOT many! But all kinds of high school girls think that. Girls don't grow emotionally mature until much later. I would argue girls under 25 have a lot of trouble with that. I don't want to crucify them for it, I'm sure it's probably just hormones and whatnot. But it's very hard to deal with that for me. I think rationally and like to see reasons behind actions and arguments, so if someone wants to tell me, "I'm angry at you because I feel angry!" "Uhh ok why?" "I don't need reasons it's just how I feel!!" Uhh, yeah, you do. Feelings count for jack crap in my world. Rational explanations are what matters. Even if a girl wants to respond with, "I'm PMSing and I'm moody and emotional, so please leave me alone," well that was a good, solid reason. But I'm a low drama person, I can't really deal with drama and energy-sapping girls when I'm trying to focus on my career.

I know several girls I've known quite for some time who are really cool, quite rational, easy going, not hard at all to deal with, and don't really have many "girl" moments. But it's kind of few and far between finding girls like that, unfortunately. I don't want to say that I need a low maintenance girl, but I need a girl who, if she's high maintenance, takes care of it herself and doesn't look to me. I don't expect a girl to fix my problems, or do anything for me. I mean I'm not going to expect my girlfriend to clean my place, nor would I let her because she's my girlfriend not my maid, and I don't need a girl to cook for me, or help solve "my problems," etc. So I'd like to find a girl who is similar in that regard, so we can both add to each other's lives.

The worst thing imaginable is the saying "Oh yeah, my other half..." Your other half?! I'm sorry that is no way to live life. I don't want ANOTHER HALF. I am WHOLE by myself, complete, full of energy, motivation, dedication, not lacking anything. I do not want to find another half. I want to find another whole. I don't like interacting with half-people.

My question is why is this just between brains and beauty, as if those are the two sides of the coin?

I guess I don't see it that way -- my rating of any girl is a three-part diagnostic: Looks, Intelligence, and Personality. If you think "brains" encompasses personality and intelligence, I really beg to differ. That's making it way too broad of a category. I've met some very intelligent women who were cold as ice, just horrible personalities. My friend dated a girl once or twice who was beautiful AND very intelligent, but he said she had about a 1 out of 10 on personality. God, poor girl. I guess she didn't like music, I mean who doesn't like music?! AT ALL?! She only ever wanted to talk about politics, didn't know how to have fun and just relax a bit. On this little poll here, you'd think she had it all -- looks and intelligence! But that's just not all.

Out of those three, if I had to pick two, I'd take looks and personality. A really hot girl who is really sweet and fun to be around, but average IQ and wasn't very good in school, etc., just your average student, average thinker, etc. is still going to be a lot better girlfriend than hot and smart but boring and lifeless, or smart and fun but ugly. It's pretty easy I think.

Neither one are that attractive, one is just showing a little more skin than the other. There are plenty of good looking women who are smart- so why do I have to choose between brains and looks- why can't I just have both




Yes I want my cake and eat it too- it's my damn cake!!!

And the one showing skin is that attractive! Going on looks alone, there really is no comparison.

Smart is almost always HOT....(all mild and business like in the lab....but at home....WOW)

....but hot is rarely smart....(honey....why did you write a check with a crayon?....)

and smart...lasts a lot longer than hot.....(hot is worn out by 40 at best....smart lasts until 80 at least)
