I completely understand where you are coming from. The older and wiser intellectual types I've met want an ornament on their arm, not someone to actually have a conversation with.

On the other hand, it's hard to find a guy who likes a chick who can talk about politics, world affairs, history, life, and of course, sports- especially football! I love football. My best friend's husband and his brother were shocked into silence by this- they said I know more than they do about the sport!

Now we know why Condi Rice is still single. *SIGH*

Oh, geez, and then you have to ruin that great impression by being a Lions fan!

When you described yourself, you reminded me of..ME! Especially the football part, LOL!

I got married a year ago, to a fantastic man five years YOUNGER than me who I dated for several years. He loves the fact that we can have intelligent conversations about politics, history, current events, and even sports.

One of my friends is now happily dating a man of the same "youth". Just wanted to check in to make sure you don't overlook the younger guys!
