I definitely find this problem more in Atlanta. The south is not known for it’s scholarly pursuits, so it’s not automatically assumed that women have top notch education credentials, especially “hot” women. I do have to work a little bit at getting guys to focus on the fact that I have a working brain.

90% of the time when I tell guys I went to Berekeley the response is: “Oh, so you’re a smart one, huh?” The insecure ones follow it up with “I guess you’ll be too smart for me!”

One guy recently asked me if I knew what “aloof” meant. When I told him of course I did, he said that he’s had discussions with several women who didn’t understand the word. :-/

Slim are you my long lost twin sister??? Dang, it sounded like you were describing me! I completely understand what you mean when you feel that guys don’t take you serious b/c of your funny bone - I have the same thoughts. Do you ever feel like you get stuck in the “friend zone” a lot because of your humor? I do…

My two favorite compliments are: “You are so funny” and “You are so intelligent/smart”. I get all weird and try to change the subject when a get a compliment on my looks.

As far as sexiness and a guys - outside of physical appeal, being smart is SO sexy to me. As a matter of fact, I love guys who wear glasses because it portrays a look of intelligence (to me)

Can a really smart woman be sexy or does her sex appeal cancel out her intelligence? Personally, a woman’s “sex appeal” is less important to me than the kind of person she is on the inside. (As cliche’ as that sounds, I mean it with all my heart.) Sure, her physical attributes may initially be what captures my attention. However, there’s always a “Now what?” after that. There’s always the question to come of “Who is she, really?”

I couldn’t care less if a woman looked good in stilettos or boy shorts. What I care most about is whether or not I can trust her and that issue can be addressed only by finding out what’s in her heart. I don’t care how smart and sexy she is (or is perceived to be), if her heart isn’t in the right place, none of that other stuff matters. (Not to me, anyway.)

In the grand scheme of things, it’s more important to me that the woman I meet be saved (Christian), satisfied (with ONE man) and single as opposed to smart, sexy and single.

ImAPeach404 Do you ever feel like you get stuck in the “friend zone” a lot because of your humor? Um, I wouldn’t say I get stuck in the friendzone so-to-speak. However, I guess because I am so laid back and this seems to make dudes feel extra comfy, they tend to feel like they can say any ole thing like, “You mind giving me a hand job?” or they figure I am looking for a cutbuddy and not a serious relationship. I don’t really get the correlation between the two. I don’t know if they translate me liking to have a good time into, I ONLY like to have ‘a good time’…if you catch my drift. I had to ask a friend once if i exuded a strong sexual energy or something.

One must consider that people aren’t really all that smart, period. American average IQ is around 98-100. In Georgia, it’s 92. The IQ threshold for mild mental retardation is 70.

Chances are, if you think a chick is pretty dumb, she probably is. But then again, chances are, so are you. If you think you’re so smart, take an IQ test and see. Even if you think it’s a biased test, how much could that skew the results? Not so much.

Sexy I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t believe in this until I got older - this is definitely something that comes with maturity.

Slim I had a guy friend tell me once that I am easy to get along with that even though I’m attractive, guys often have a hard time seeing me as someone they would date. I come across more like your cool homegirl. I was like “You’re my friend! How could you see me as anything else” But the more I thought about it…

Rell sarcasm and a persons sensitivity level go hand in hand. I do have a tendency to be sarcastic, but I guess thats because I don’t get offended by hardly anything. I enjoy people with thick skin and a good comeback :)

Morning To All

Don’t guys meet smart, sexy, single women all the time in Atlanta?

Well here goes, those 3 words do not go 2gether in this town. Without me bashing the abundance of ingnorant women in the town, I will say that when you meet a smart & sexy then you need to be prepared to take her from her man. Because of course she has one and they’re very serious. If she’s married then I’m gone.

• Can a really smart woman be sexy or does her sex appeal cancel out her intelligence? Is it possible for a sexy woman to be taken seriously?* - These questions I have a problem with, because its not up to some guy to cancel out or to take her seriously. Does she take Herself seriously? Does she use her sex appeal more often than her brain??? This town if full of grown women who act like little girls, perhaps thats in style or something but its played. Think about it; no matter where she got her BSBA from or even if she did not attend college if she spends the majority of her time doing meaningless things then how else could she be viewed? Book smarts as we know are just a piece of the puzzle, how do you apply the knowledge that you’ve aquired? shopping & clubbing? Fighting your ex(babydaddy) new girl? Fighting period? if so : Then she’s a meatball!

ImAPeach404 I see your point now. I can say that I am one of those chicks that can be ‘one of the homies’ to a certain degree. For instance, I use to hang out with my ex and his friends all the time. They would even tell me I was cool. I guess because i didn’t gripe about them rolling up and getting smoked out. Most of their gf’s were whining about “Why you gotta roll up another one? Dayum!…It’s too smokey in here” LOL kidding….ok, not totally. However, I have moved on from that because I hate my hair smelling like smoke. (ok,that was one helluva detour —> sorry) Back on topic…A guy friend would be like, hey wack me off then lets run up to Taco Mac and get a drink. LMAO!

Rell so if you speak on thing..but your body says something different..then men are going with the body I wonder if it has anything to do with the pair of eyes I have on my back…and how they seem to ever-so-slightly peek out as I sit down and my shirt rises, just enough to reveal a sexy come hither wink??? NAH! I doubt it. lol No but seriously. I think it has something to do with me being small. Guys have said that’s intriguing in itself even just my regular guy friends.

Smart and Sexy (since that’s how its been referred to), that’s the dream combo, that’s my kind of woman. A woman who we can get along intellectually while at the same time she exudes sexiness socially and in private…

from my POV, only unintelligent, unsecure men would be intimidated by a smart & sexy woman.

but if I was to put it right, in my book, Smarts are a component of sexy. Sexy is an appeal to me, which combines looks (which is my take on sexy in the context of this entry), confidence, intelligence/smarts, & ambition among others.

Please elucidate upon the 3 types of intelligence, Staceye.

“Book Smarts” would seem to indicate an ability to read, comprehend and retain.

“Common Sense” is indicative of an ability to reason using rational and linear thought.

“Street Smarts” doesn’t seem to mean much else than a knowledge of how to hustle, and to consider those around you with suspicion — perhaps warranted, due to their own street smarts.

I’d say that the first two go hand-in-hand, but it doesn’t seem to me that the third represents a type of intelligence at all — a near retard could be a street hustler.

Anyhoo, I wonder if she gets grants, scholarships, etc for being the ‘minority’ at a HBCU. I saw her folks in the stands with binoculars to see her. I also wondered how they felt being in the Dome full of brown folks or how they felt when she said she was going to a historically black school. I guess I never thought about that until I saw it.

Weekend Observation Ok, I went to Battle of the Bands this past Saturday. One of the schools, I believe it was Norfolk but not sure, had a white girl on the dance team. She was dancing her azz off. Anyhoo, I wonder if she gets grants, scholarships, etc for being the ‘minority’ at a HBCU. I saw her folks in the stands with binoculars to see her. I also wondered how they felt being in the Dome full of brown folks or how they felt when she said she was going to a historically black school. I guess I never thought about that until I saw it. Things that make you go Hmmm?

Staceye yeah, I had folks say they thought I was stuck up years ago. Once they got to know me or was around me, they always tell me how off based their initial impression was.

ABC, “Street Smarts” doesn’t seem to mean much else than a knowledge of how to hustle, and to consider those around you with suspicion if u have book smarts most likely ur common sense is good.I think ur definition of street smarts is slighly off becoz it is more about knowing hw to navigate the streets, not necessarily a rough place kind of sense but even if u are say, in a new environment.A lot of book smart pple with no street smarts will have a hard time in society and esp. in unfamiliar environs.So to have a complete package, u definately need street smarts.Book smart pple are comfortable in official settings but if they are presented a twist or curve ball that looks official but is not, they get thrown off.Thats where street smarts takes over.

Mornin all..

I second 2CPTG on his 8:55. In many cities including Atlanta, that I have traveled to, you initially see the physical and it is tough to see how smart she is unless you put her in a situation where you can gage her intellect and knowledge.

As 2 said, it is extremely challenging to find a smart,attractive,self sufficient,beer/wine drinking,outgoing chick that can hang with you in the hood,attend a black tie social with you and look good and be classy,that can close a business deal, love sports,with no drama,that will pop a cap in someones azz if they act up.

Find me that chick and I might be off the market indefinitely!!

That is why many men have different chicks they kick it with,because each one brings one or two of the above mentioned elements to the table. Catch a chick with three or more of those qualities and she might be a keeper!

My experience with smart chicks has been that they have no social skills and don’t do well around people outside of their work environment or inner circle.

This is a problem with me, as I am a social cat. I tend to do better with beautiful chicks that are not neccessary overly smart, but can apply themselves and achieve a result. They have college degrees, but they did not graduate summa cum laude.

Now I am not saying they are dumb, but they definitely did not score a perfect score on their ACT or SAT in high school.

Now on the flip side, I have first hand witnessed professional chicks running into a challenge finding a smart,witty business type dude, who can mix it up as well, so I think it is challenge on both sides of the fence!

At homecoming they had 4 drum major’s. Anyhoo, the high kicks were great and I know from dance that it takes a lot to high kick for that long of a period on beat and in sync with 20 other chicks. We started walking out on BCC to beat the traffic so I missed that. Oh yeah, which school had Batman and Superman come out there? That was funny. BTW, with regard to intelligence…I saw the most beautiful, intelligent looking, ugliest, dumb MTV raised folks all in the Dome Saturday. LOL!

Ladies, do you ever feel that you walk a fine line in projecting the right image of smart, sexy, and single? How do you think you are perceived? If you could choose between having great looks or having extreme intelligence, which would you pick? Luv this topic, b/c I’ve been called “dangerous” twice in the past week or so. When I asked why it was b/c of the attributes you mention above, plus I’m sweet & sassy with it. Since my wit & humor tends to draw ppl to me, it confuses me when men feel that these are reasons to proceed w/ caution, if at all. Even though I’m kinda subtle in each area, I think the combination can be off putting and maybe they feel in danger of fallin’ fast. Which now that I think back, has happened too (fell hard, got scared.) And so I admit that I’ve considered trying to tone it down for their comfort. But in discussing a similar topic recently, a friend said we should dim our brilliance for no one and I appreciate the reminder.

Whether I’ve got a fresh press, rockin my fro or I’m somewhere in between, I pretty much exude the same self confidence ~ which I guess makes people a little nervous. It makes them label me a diva, which I strongly dislike. So I guess I’d keep the intelligence b/c I do believe sexy starts within. Also, most seem to like the mind ~~~~ And I need my smarts to know that.

Das When 4:00 hits, I “dips”. Period. LOL!

As for that stimulus package, I disagree with it on prinicple because, as we’re already seeing, the markets have stablized themselves (as they always do) so I doubt very seriously that distributing rebate checks will have the desired impact on the economy, because they’re not going to be spent the way these “experts” are predicting.

The thing I’m not hearing anyone talk about is the fact that while people are waiting on these checks, the prices of commodities like gasoline, milk, eggs and other consumer goods, are going to continue to rise, so what a $300 check might get you today, won’t get you the same amount 4 or 5 months from now.

And one more thing the politicians aren’t telling you: those rebates are taxable income for when you file your 2008 return, so keep that in mind.

abc common sense, you know, a situation arises where a decision must be made and the common sense decision is usually the most logical and the majority chosen. Different situations call for diffent actions. You can call them as you see them. Example: I know someone who says she saw her dad beat her mom and she called the cops. they arrested him and he spent father’s day in jail. Now she says she was little when that happened. So I asked…how old were you? She said 12. So I asked, what did you expect to happen when you called the cops, she said that she thought they would make him stop…but not lock him up. Now at 5 or 6…I can see you thinking that. But at 12…you are stuck on stupid if you do not think he would get hauled away in cuffs. You acquire more common sense as you age…hopefully In some cases the common sense trait was not installed so how can it grow?

Sexyleggs sounds like your friend has a nice guy that actually cares about her..and so so soon. Most dudes would be like, “girl I’ve known you for 2 months…and I am sorry for your loss…but a brotha’ gotta go make that money! Where’s the funeral…I’ll send some flowers!” LOL

Functional intelligence is the key. She can be as smart or pretty as she likes but if she cant put it to work its useless. For instance, you could have a bright/smart insecure chick thats not functional because everwhere she goes she is threatened by every woman in the room. You can’t take her anywhere because she can’t function.

As importtant as being smart is being able to think fast. If it takes 2 weeks to process information it may be smarter to date a rock.

Summary: Most womens emotional state overrides their intelligence and makes them appear less smart than they really are.

Sexy if it was an unimportant task its ok but if it was important she’d of had to go solo. Especially after 2 weeks. My .02 Thats great for points but bad for business.

darrell…on the tax rebate thing…i see it in one of two ways…i’ve heard numbers of a rebate from $300 to $1200 and either way…i do not believe that is enough money to make a real difference in a person’s life one way or the other…

if you’re struggling financially…you probably need a LOT more than that to catch up what you’re behind on…

and if you’re succeeding financially…you probably don’t even think of that as enough money to make a significant change in your finances…

in my opinion…what this money is designed to do is make americans feel like they’ve got some extra money that they will go out and spend…but the thing about that is…you don’t typically go and spend just the amount you were refunded…somehow, you always manage to use the refund as a down payment or have to find some money to put with it to get what you really want…

and you usually end up with greater debt than you had before the rebate…

which is exactly what they want to happen…

Rell, I agree that the proposed tax gift is an election year tool. I intend to apply all of mine to charitable contributions. I consider it a fine example of government irresponsibility and waste.

Staceye, wouldn’t your example of ‘common sense’ illustrate a lack of linear thought? At that, it’s more easily attributable to intelligence than something that’s intrinsic, instinctual, or something different.

We are constantly playing various roles in our life, and for each role the real who as opposed to what we are is blurred constantly. This goes back to my position on what is ideal vs. growth, do you want to wake up every morning to your ideal mate or your growth mate? Some people don’t want anyone that close to them that will force growth. They would much rather be in a relationship with someone who will go with the status quo and not rock the boat. Until that is, they wake up one morning and realize they could be further in life if they just had someone to push them.

Sexy “and if you’re succeeding financially…you probably don’t even think of that as enough money to make a significant change in your finances…” Excellent point. I would add only that depending on one’s definition of “succeeding financially”, many of us won’t even receive a rebate (because we make “too much money”), let alone have it be enough to make a significant change in one’s finances.

Nevertheless, to the extent that these rebates can bring at least some financial relief to those in the lower income brackets, I hope it does.

No man is repulsed by a woman who looks smart. Many men run like hell from a woman who is smart. Men find out that women are too intelligent to deal with after the woman has let them know just how dense they are. When they start talking and realize that you are as intelligent as they are and therefore not prone to fall for their usual b****** then you become that “smart a* b***”. Most men don’t look at an attractive woman and exclaim “damn! look at the brain on her!

First of all let me say that I am both attractive and intelligent and used to feel that men were intimdated by my beauty and my intelligence. However, through a long and hard introspective look at myself, I realized it was not how I looked but rather my spirit that made men not approach me.

It wasnt that men were intimidated by me, it was that I had a very unapproachable spirit. I had been hurt by a number of men and was disenfranchised with the thought of letting another man close to me or my heart and I didnt even know that I was unknowingly giving off this vibe. And believe it or not, men can sense it a mile away. Once a man senses this, it doesnt matter how beautiful, fine, sexy, or intelligent you are, they will run faster that Marion Jones on steriods in the other direction!! LOL

I also had to make a conscience effort to not make every man the man or men that hurt me. No man should have to carry the weight or burden of trying to mend your heart. Its your heart and you must take responsibility for its well being.

But the greatest thing of all is, I had to pray!!! I found that through prayer and seeking God, I found that I am fearfully and wonderfully made and the man that is for me will be able to see me, all of me, good, bad and indifferent and love me.

So now I am not perceived as unapproachable. Some men still look and smile and dont say anything and thats fine too because I dont want to be soo common that every Tom, Dick and Harry feels like he can just approach me.

I am likened to the 10 carat ring in the window at Mayors or Bailey, Banks and Biddle. Everyone stops and looks at it and admires its beauty but only the serious inquiries and the ones that can pay the price actually go in and get close enough to touch it!!!

Alice Walker “Most men don’t look at an attractive woman and exclaim “damn! look at the brain on her!”

LOL! This is true. I won’t deny that. However, as a man, I think it’s “sexier” if a woman can match wits with me mentally than trying to impress me physically. Few things are more of a turn-on than mentally stimulating conversation. (Well, that and a woman who likes football.) :-)

@Amina I commend you on being woman enough to see and recognize your imperfections and most of all,improve on them,but one thing leaped out at me and it is not just you who mentioned certain things about men in general, but I hear it often from a lot of women.

Do women really think men are dumb as rocks and don’t pick up on things or notice other things???

I mean I hear it all the time “Girl you wouldn’t think that a man would notice this or notice that or rsspond to this or respond to that” Do you realize that our instincts in most cases are sharper than yours, because we are built to hunt and are used to rejection!

We are creatures of habit and men often communicate more between themselves than women do between their girls!

If we go through something, we send the memo out to the other fellas and warn them, so they won’t make the same mistakes many times over!

I think when many women wake up and realize that we are not robots and that we do have a brain, thoughts, etc. they will understand us more and why we act and respond the way we do in certain situations.

and your right alot of women/men have not fully qualified a mate….i mean if i have to ask more than once or even think to hard then that is a clear sign you not meeting me half way..so i am barking up the wrong tree…in this day in an age a man as to protect his time, self, and seed…but as i discussed with another fine women of this thing here..the epidemic of dudes wifey up the first boogerwolf that shows some interest as really tainted things…top notch women see this and feel like they have to dumb themselves down to attract a guy..hence the upswing in single women attending strip clubs..the rationale is that is where the single guys are…not true…but the mass media pumps that image of the rapper/thug to the masses….so if you see something enough thats what you want…again the upswing of top notch women going out of there way to seem “street” to fit in or get that attention…feel me…again we has men need to up the standards to keep things in chicks…it cannot be any other way

alvin I may get bothered by any woman who puts up a too thick wall. Her degrees would not have anything to do with that. Intimidated by a woman? Never! We all have issues that we have to deal with in life that are dead serious. So when it comes to me approaching a woman or sitting down having a convo its nothing to me, I’ve got real life to deal with… ya dig?

rell- dogg, you just annoy me is all but thats my problem. The peace pipe is out and about…

Sorry Truth, no scraping for me today.

Why women with multi-degrees up and down their walls bother us, in terms of dating? becoz we focus on their academic strengths and not our own.That automatically trigers an inferiority complex in us(men,not melo personally)And the woman will see ur body language and figure u out in a heartbeat.Game over.Even if she likes u(based on looks and handsomeness etc),if she rides with u, at some point she will call u on ur self acknowledged weakness and u wont ever gain an even hand. The best at these types of women are the regular hustling dudes, u knw the drug pushers,industrial boot guys etc(the warehse types).They will lure such types easy becoz they knock them off with their charm,wit and humor, even when doning their work clothes.That is the modus operandi to use for any dude.Use ur natural skill to get a woman.If she sees what u got to come to u, thats on her.

re: book smarts vs. street smarts vs. common sense

I think the key here is that there is a distinction between intelligence and knowledge. The above categories are really more reflective of knowledge than pure intelligence. Even those with sufficient intelligence may appear to be lacking in one or more of the above, depending upon how that intelligence has been applied. For example, one who has been wholly consumed with academic pursuits (“book smarts”) to the neglect of social interaction may appear to be lacking in “common sense” or “street smarts” or both. This is not necessarily a sign of diminished intellectual capacity in those areas, but rather a result of a lack of experience/tutelage in those areas.

Of course, I could just be a dumb@$$

RELL i agree! one of the major components to the disconnect is communication. i dont think its solely a female problem. everyone misinterprets what someone less says mostly due to their own personal issues coming into play.

the revolving theme for the day has been to ‘to thy own self be true’. amina put it out there that self-evaluation is key to doing that. accepting our own limitations is not a sign of weakness… it would be a sign of weakness in our character if we didnt man up and look the man in the mirror in the eye.

Folks, I have had some war stories, but this one ranked up at the top! I talked with her last night and she said she wated to get together this weekend, as I am out of town during the week managing a project.

Actually, how the whole took flight, I came with this broad to the initial party and I saw the chick, but she saw me come in with someone else, so she kept it moving. It was not until I was away from the chick I came with, that she said something to me, after she had a few drinks.

Long story short, the chick I came with ended up hooking up with one of my frat brothers and asked if it was okay if she exchanged numbers and I said sure!

Meanwhile, I went back to said chick and have about 15 min of further convo and she led me back to the room.

We talked some more and I could really see she was an upstanding christian girl,so things just happened.

The girl was a perfect 10 and believe it or not,a Doctor,34,no kids and lived near me. We agreed to hook up two days later, but I never got her number and she lost mine.

She admitted to me last night, she was a little embarased, because both times she was tipsy, but said she liked rough sex, so there you go!

any guy would find it hard to date slimone coz the moment they think they pulled a trick on her, they are acting like that guy in the toyota corrola commercial, acting like the gus tank is empty when all he needs is some romping on a side road, and the chic sees that.She will be laughing hard peeking to see ur little dyck when u ready to s3x!

Sexy I know what it’s called just curious as to why you guys so quickly take the puddy? Puddy has no face, but disease has a name!

Because, ain’t nothing like NEW puddy. Now you can be satisfied and very happy with your tried and true, but the real is it used to be new. And that’s what gets brothers in trouble - the satisfied and happy part.
