I think Sarah Silverman is cute.
Tina Fey. Amy Poehler. Both hot.
To be honest, I think my sense of humor has acted as a nice "filter" for finding mates. Any guy who is intimidated by my wit or intelligence is not the man for me.
Good post and I agree...didn't "playing dumb to please men" go out about 50 years ago??? My,my, some people have a hard time progressing!
....don't men know how weak and frightened they look by putting down witty, intelligent women???
There is a difference between a smart ass woman and a witty woman.. I wouldnt mind a witty woman.. a smart ass woman on the other hand... can take a walk ...
And I revisited this, I came up with the same conclusion.
Yeah, I suppose the stereotyped dumb blondes are not usually funny. They only bring jokes about!
So what if a woman is good-looking and witty?
Interesting question but I think from most people you observe, men don't want a witty woman even if she's attractive. How often do you see witty, funny trophy women proudly being paraded around?
They prefer a more neurotic type and then will complain later about the humorless witch they're stuck with. That's not true of all men of course.
I think that for most men, humorous and/or witty celebrities would include:
Heather Locklear, Lani Anderson, Goldie Hawn, Sandra Bullock, Heather Graham. Attractive and don't seem to take themselves too seriously.
Another VERY witty woman is Dolly Parton...ya, she's a real "dog" like all the ones you mentioned
It's so silly that men, when they don't like something about a woman , insist she's not "good looking"....
A lot of people are equating witty with comedian. Sure, most female comedians aren't too pretty (male ones aren't great looking either), but there are plenty of physically attractive, funny women. Granted, you rarely hear a guy say he's with his SO (in part) because she makes him laugh. Women say that a lot though.
There's many different styles of funny too. Witty doesn't have to mean biting or caustic either. I find most witty people to not be the type who are cracking jokes all the time or who describe themselves as "funny", but are more subtle with their humor. Conversely, the people who you'd describe as "funny" are louder and more obvious, and they seem to realize they are "entertaining". The mark of intelligence seems to be with the former, but the latter style seems more intimidating to men, as it steals the limelight.
