"Beauty may be dangerous, but intelligence is lethal."
I am so TIRED of people spewing CRAP in my direction - "Oh I was busy... Oh I was out... Oh the internet was down... Oh, oh, oh oh... OH GUESS WHAT! - Despite popular belief... I was NOT born yesterday... or even the day prior for that matter!
It never ceases to amaze me how so many, assume that because you have what is considered a "pretty face" or "attractive body" that you have nothing between your ears!
I can only speak for myself, but in doing that - I will say this... I am ANYTHING but stupid and NO - I was not born yesterday!
And here is the part where I bring the men into the conversation. (Please ensure that you have your BIG BOY undies on guys!)
Men seem to have this "socially conditioned" perspective that because women are emotionally driven creatures and the fact that we do NOT in ANY way think or act like you guys, that we are "air heads"?!
I have one response to that - MWUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Yes dears, we are VERY emotionally driven creatures. We allow our hearts to speak to us long before our mind ever does - and yes, we react to situations with exaggerated expression - but neither of these attributes deem us stupid!
I am SO tired of seeing women being "played" by men, because they wore their heart on their sleeve and the men that revel in this kind of activity, mockingly laugh at those women because they were "easy"?!
No - they weren't EASY! - They were simply real and they trusted you. That does not make them stupid. That makes them authentic!
If I were to point any fingers or ask any questions, it would have to be... why is your dick on your sleeve?!
I am not generalizing here - as there are PLENTY of good men out there. Men who hold value to and appreciate the worth of the women in their lives - and hats off to all of them! But the reality of the matter is, there are so many MORE who are just all out there for themselves! (Just as there are women precisely the same - but I am not lesbian, so I don't have a whole lot of experience in that respect.... hence that is NOT my focus here! - lol)
They "strut" around like the world owes them a favour - but guess what... it DOESN'T! - So best you just tone it down a little there cowboy, because just in case you have not noticed yet... us ladies are doing it for ourselves these days and we HONESTLY don't have the time nor the inclination for self-absorbed ego-maniacs!
At the risk of being "burnt at the stake" right now - I am going to say this... For centuries, women have been "restrained" - men dominated the world. They were the providers, they were the hunters and us women were the gatherers. Women - for the most part, were never afforded the opportunity to be "the hunter" - and now that we are... things have changed dramatically.
Women are now the hunters AND the gatherers!
Yes boys, yes we are! - Don't worry - we still love and need you though ;) because who doesn't need a good roll in the hay or a cuddle ;) (JOKE!!!) - Just before anybody gets negatively excited!
Point being...
Women are AMAZING creatures! - ANY QUALITY MAN that lives with a GOOD WOMAN will testify to this truth! (Don't feel left out guys... you are also awesome.... but this post is NOT focused on you - ok! lol)
I just wish... that more men saw AND appreciated the value AND INTELLIGENCE of the women in their lives - instead of treating them like... well - in the words of Shakira...
Starting to feel just a little abused - Like a coffee machine in an office
Dear Men, Yes, we may be pretty to look at, yes, we may excite all your senses but NO we are NOT stupid - and it is NOT OK to treat us as such! STOP underestimating us!! - Sincerely Me!
“She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul. She is beautiful.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald
Until next time...

It's true.
It will sound dumb but it took me until a few years ago to realize I am only really attracted to smart women.
I am in my 40's now. All my life I was irritated by dummies around me, men or women.
Since I like females..... it took me until a few years ago to realize that one step further....it was not just irritation.
I am just attracted to emotional and intellectual honesty and intelligence.
Emotional IQ is important but rarely talked about also.
Good post by you as always.
Love and appreciate your honesty @barrydutton xxx
Thanks.
-- the day it hit me, I actually felt really dumb.
Maybe I should question my own intelligence and emotional IQ more
LOL
hehehe.... nah ;) I am sure you are equally as amazing :) We are just more so... waahahahahaha (JOKE!!!) lol hehehe - was too good to resist! xxx
There were a ton of females present for the protest I led at city hall for my post up a few mins ago, I got along fine with them LOL
I totally understand where you are coming from. Personally I've discovered I connect best with women who do have brains and who are able to hold a conversation about more than just a taste in music. The same actually goes for when I meet other guys though, so people in general.
On the other hand, I think (not sure though) that the guys you describe are actually guys who don't have much brains themselves either.
The way I see it, it's like natural selection. Just don't waste your time on them :) I know I don't! (regardless of gender)
P.S.:
✋ I hereby testify! My girlfriend is definitely a very intelligent and amazing creature. It's just her emotions that sometimes get the best of her or get in her way, which you pointed out is a female thing, but underneath that, she has the beauty and the brains. I'm one lucky bastard 🤔
@seersalomon - SO wonderful to see such beautifully emotive expression towards the woman in your life! Love it!!!
Yip... pretty much! haha ;)
Thanks for the wonderful comment xxx
I've learned the hard way never to take a woman who likes me for granted. It takes a lot of courage to admit to a person you like them.
Women are brave, intelligent and industrious and I appreciate their caring nature.
Thanks for this timely post @jaynie ,you have a big heart! ♥
and thank you for your beautiful words @buterdaniel xxx
Women are AMAZING creatures! - ANY QUALITY MAN that lives with a GOOD WOMAN will testify to this truth!
It's with an undiluted ovation that I applaud your analysis. Am even more enthralled that you actually pointed out the natural weakness of women which some men prey upon.
But nature in her wisdom dolled even more vaults of strength to women than men. Women have the potency to control how the heart of a man navigates, for those who knows.
Brilliant wisdom right there @idunique - love it!!!! and thank you for the lovely response xxx
I really enjoy going through your articles, it's always a pleasure.
Thank you @idunique I appreciate your positivity :)
The stereotypes are promoted by being constantly repeated in movies and t.v.
Brilliant!!! and sadly VERY accurate!!
LOL @ dirty bitcoin ;)
I am blessed with a husband that is none of the things you described. I read once that many aeons ago, women ruled the world, and when they became too powerful, bossy etc, the cycle was reversed and men started to take the reigns. I believe we are at such a junction once again! Lovely article Jaynie
I think you are 100% correct in that thought process @claudiaz - and yes... we are both VERY blessed with wonderful men in our lives it would seem :) Thank you as always for your beautiful insight and feedback - it never goes unappreciated xxx
Although some not all men may deem us as fragile ornaments, but little do they know what's brewing inside our minds. We are a force to reckon with, great article! :)
We sure are @shellany - we SURE ARE!!! :) Girls rule!!! hehe :) xxx
Sorry my vote power is so drained also LOL
I can relate lol :) It is the thought that counts :)
nice article
Thank you :)
Nice post.... follow me and upvote post as I do.
alrighty then...
Yea, I never understood that stereo type. Why can't someone be hot and smart? Makes no senses.
Agreed :)
