seriously, I'd take an intellectual guy with a good heart over a "manly-man" who happens to be a jerk anyday. I guess I'm the nerd type myself, so bird's of a feather...

Default The thing is...

who's marrying this guy... your cousin. So if she loves him, it's none of the family's business.

It all about the chemisty. I have been going out with manly guys and more nerdy ones. As long as they are intelligent and the chemistry is there... I'm for all types..

If it were me? I'd rather have someone with diverse interests, a sense of humor, easy to talk and relate to, who will be fun to grow old with.
Oh my God!!!! Those pictures have left me speechless

Time marches on for all of us. In Arnold's case, it looks like time marched all over his pecs. Kidding aside, he looks okay for a sixty year old guy. If he hadn't been famous, nobody would think twice about the way he looks.

I used to be one of those cheerleader girls who'd only date manly-men. In my experience I found them unsophisticated and a lack of intelligent conversation.
Then I found my husband, he's into computers and really intelligent. I prefer going to art galleries with him as opposed to football games and having long, meaningful conversation. I also feel he's more respectful towards me (not trying to stereo-type manly men, it's just from my experience!). I also find that since being with him, it's given me motivation to do things that I wouldn't have normally done, like going back to school to finish my degree.

I believe that most women would prefer to mate with the "manly" men but marry one of the "nerdy" men. One thing many people forget is that the younger muscle guys become old, fat and flabby- while skinny nerdy guys often look better as they grow older, I have even seen them take up weight training and become the "manly" men in their 40's and 50's. How many prom kings and queens end up fat and ugly by the 30 year reunion? How many "most likely to succeed" end up in the trailer park instead?

To the original question:

HELL YES!!!!

Bill Gates specifically does not follow a strict enough code of ethics for me but I can't get enough of intelligent men. Small, nerdy, wimpy, whatever, I don't care. Give me that brain! Give me the creativity! Give me the sensitivity! I don't care if he looks like a girl! I need the substance! Screw the masculine stuff and tattoos, we will BOTH go to the library on Superbowl Sunday!
