Ok. I was just over at Iggy's place reading the latest volume. This afternoon's focus was on Sklansky. I'm familiar with the self-declared sexual magnet Sklansky sees himself as, and I just have to say:
No. No-no. No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-No!
Yes, he is intelligent - at least where Math & Logic are concerned. But, girls, can you honestly tell me that you'd want to see his shoes 'neath your bed?
He says:
...evolutionary theory postualtes [sic] that most young women get PHYSICALLY aroused in the presence of intelligent men.
I'm not talking money hungry here. It is rather a physical manifestation due to the awareness that the fellow in question will be a good provider for children. Those women who did not have this physical reaction were likely to have died off as their dumb mates couldn't protect their offspring. Thus the majority of those left, inherited an almost insatiable desire to make love to men who demonstrated knowledge in fields like logic or probability.
I'm thinkin' those cave geniuses had something else going for them besides their ability to determine the square root the sum of the sides of an isosceles triangle.
At any rate, intelligence in a man is great - and one of my top ten. But if he wants to have a snowball's chance to get my juices flowing, let's add some more stuff to the salad - wit, humor, compassion, humility, savvy, confidence, charisma - and I daresay that last one Mr. Sklansky is sorely lacking in. Not that I've ever met him - but I have seen his visage on the tube, and if there's charisma there, it didn't read.
OK. Done ranting now. Had to get that out of my system. I just have a real problem with people who have an overblown (no pun intended) image of themselves. Me? Well, I'm realistic. I have a firm, down to earth, no frills handle on my own self-image.
Y'all have a good one!
