Mind you, I had dated a Jewish girl fairly recently at that point, along with several Hispanics and an Oriental or two. I was pursuing/being pursued by a Redskins cheerleader at that point (which case was true depended on who you talked to...).
After a bit of thought, I finally took a sip of my beer and said "I like WOMEN."
The guys continued to badger me. "But what kind, Mike?"
"I only have two qualifications: She's gotta be good looking and she's gotta be smart enough to carry on a reasonably intellectual conversation with me."
I tell my wife to this day, that one of the early things that caught my attention was the fact that she was one of the few women who would actually argue coherently with me.
LOL!!! You're a good man, Mike! I like your style!
