It's not the size of the brain that matters; it's how you use it.

I am a woman , the last comma was used for an effect ( you may claim as an affectation . LOL ) , and since I have read a number of your past posts, it is my considered opinion that you aren't nearly as intelligent as you claim to be.

Worst of all, um...

...he, ahem... spelled "persistence" wrong.

Gads... No wonder you don't think he's hot. ;-)

Exactly so. For the most part, a woman will marry an abverage looking man, who is intelligent, a good provider, and has more than a modicome of social graces. They'll even go out with / marry an ugly man , if he is powerful enough.

Most men , today, don't know how to behave, woo, or court a woman. Heck, they don't even know how to " date " ! This is patently obvious, by reading not only the threads here, about : " Boo hoooooooo ... I'm aqlone ", and the sick garbage with the T&A pics of tennis players and whomever, who are well beyond the league of the males posting to them.

We just celebrated our 35th anniversary last week; my husband and I . I fell for the sound of his voice, and his brilliance. It also didn't hurt any, that we agree about 99% of everything and have so very much in common. LOL

Oh, and he's also a VERY handsome man.

Not really . Many scions of wealthy famlies, those with good connectionss, and keep the wealth or increase it, are also intelligent. They have social graces, went to the best schools, and aren't dumb / thieves / immoral / or whatever else you claim. There are idiots and bad apples in all social strata . The wealthy don't all get there by trickery , underhandness, and theft.

Marxist cant ( or are you just jealous ? ) doesn't belong on FR !

Money, looks, and social status in reality have the higher priority with most women.

You speak the absolute truth. Brains are very far down the list of what most women want. Looks are all that matter, unless you have money or power, in which case they'll deign to give you a "second chance." But if you don't have any of those three things, look forward to a life growing old alone with your cats!

Women have a very hard time with pompous men who brag. That is a huge turnoff and even a little scary. Those types make me want to run!

You must not be running into nice women. There are plenty women out there who want someone who is kind, warm, funny, and cuddly. That's my type anyway!!

Women may be responsible for the intelligence of the human race because they consistently pick brain over brawn when choosing a mate.

This fallacy can be proven false simply by a trip to the local high school. Failing that, my view is that it has nothing to do with brains or brawn, per se, but with power and wealth (which are loosely interchangable): those with money or prestige or position get the girl.

I think the security thing is it. Women want someone who will make them feel loved and safe.

No, apparently I'm not. I've become extremely disillusioned when it comes to dating, I'm afraid.

WRONG ! Look at what the women say, and then look at what the men say on this thread.

Looks don't count, for women, early as mch as you guys assume they do. If a man can talk well on a variety of subjects ( NOT football / cars / their job ), behave mannerly, and doesn't look like a troll , he has a pretty good chance with most women.

First you have to understand the difference between wealthy and Rich. Then you have to understand the relationship of income to wealth. You cannot stay "rich" by spending your "wealth".
