His voice is just magnificent. (And he's just way good-lookin'.)
Those, too! ;-)
But I've gotta confess that it's the intelligence factor that I like.
All the rest is just icing on the cake.

Well, happy birthday, Rat! Don't give up. Miss Right will come along when you least expect it. There ARE still some good women out there....don't settle for anything less!

All I know is that being married to a smart woman has been good for my health, my finances, and my love life. My husband is currently renovating our bathroom. I'm sure, at this moment, he'd rather have a woman who can install a toilet rather than proofread his business letters, but, we can't have it all, can we? LOL!

The problem is, many women just don't know the difference between strength and bitchery.
Furthermore, many people do not know the difference between educated and intelligent. Quite frankly, what often passes for education these days, even at the Phd level, is garbage, yet many people think that, because they have this made-up degree, they are now geniuses.
We then get articles on this kind of subject, which say that men don't like smart women, etc. etc., when what is really happening is that many women are becoming convinced that they are brilliant, and assume an accordingly condescending attitude, when in reality they are just indoctrinated idiots. Truly intelligent women are no less attractive than the dumber ones, assuming all other factors are equal.

I love women with brilliant minds- especially when their minds are in the gutter.

True. Some of the University inhabitants I know couldn't survive off campus without an interpretor. Sadly, some of them are family members that we have been unable to deprogram.

Usually if a woman tells you she's a strong woman, they're very insecure. I always challenge them to arm wrestle.
To: fr_freak
On GMA this morning, a little girl in the audience was asked (the answer was already known) where she was from. She said "Southfield." "And what state is that in?" was the next question. She wasn't sure.
The next question was why she was in NYC - her mother, standing behind her, said, "Because she got straight A's."

That's OK - one university last week passed a rule that it was now OK to use "texting" language on exams and in papers. U no - LOL

Usually if a woman tells you she's a strong woman, they're very insecure. Well, sure - those are code words. Nobody, man or woman, brags about how "strong and independent" they are unless they are full of self-doubt.
The most intelligent and high-achieving professional woman I know is such a sweetheart you would never guess what she does for a living unless she told you. And most of the women I've known who fit the "Amazon bitch" mold (and there really aren't many) are borderline incompetent, and they try to bully people to cover that up.

I dono my wife proofreads my reports and can not only install a toilet, shes willing to help pull out a used one at a demolition sale... a MUCH nastier job. But then, shes a remarkable woman thats why I married her.

Oh goodness, that's sad. Almost 30 years later, I still remember one of my Kindergarten classmates who didn't know his own last name. Even at age 5 or 6, I could scarcely believe it.

"I saw nothing wrong with the comment. So quit being so crabby about it."
Ooooooh, ok. As long as YOU saw nothing wrong with it, then it's ok. I was waiting for you to weigh in on it, now I know what to think.
