Conclusion: People that are both smart and attractive are incredibly rare, so you better start learning where your compromises are pretty quickly. Oh yeah, and get to the gym and get in shape. Some thin people are attractive, but no fat people are. If you want someone to be attracted to you, do your best to make yourself attractive. And read some books, so you can keep up a decent conversation and have something besides TV to talk about.

Sorry for the rant, but so many people are lazy and don't want to work at making themselves attractive and interesting, then b*tch about not being able to find a mate. If you want to see the problem, look in the mirror. Educate yourself. Eat well. Dress well. Groom yourself. Work out. These actions by themselves they are not 'sufficient' to find love, but they are necessary. And don't tell me any crap about 'inner beauty'. If you wanted inner beauty you'd be dating your fat friends. But you aren't, you're holding out for that hottie with the Ph.D. And that's OK, just be honest about it and make sure you've done the work on yourself to make yourself a prize, not some schmuck that someone is going to settle for.



WOOOO!!! Good post. Brutally honest truth..brutally honest but a fact of life and how it REALLY is....

Touche on the composer comeback

Not to put too fine a point on it, not only am I old and wise, I practice what I preach, and have been very happily married to a hottie with a Masters degree for 12 years now. How many of the other 'experts' posting here can make that claim?

Hmm, well her undergrad degree is in German Literature and Philosophy from Texas A&M University, her masters is in Developmental Psychology from the University of Colorado at Denver. As for looks, let's just say that she worked part time as a model for a while now, mainly bathing suit and lingerie, and just locally (not nationally), but still

Most of her portfolio is on film-based pictures rather than digital-based pictures, but here's at least a couple where she has a fair amount of clothing on (sorry, I'm NOT posting any bikini pics for you perv's).

Yeah, sucks to be me.

I gotta say, I'm still madly in love with her even after 12 years, she's the most interesting and smartest person I know.

Thats pretty nice to hear actually, it is special when you find someone who fascinates both the physical and intellectual side o you.

The nicest thing is you appreciate what you have.

I admit, I started overstepping my boundaries. I dutifully concede.

My posts ARE however, geared toward the younger crowd. Can we agree that is what the articles are about? Today's post-high school/college generation?

Tyson, I appreciate your contempt for me. It fuels my fire to be the best I can and not settle.

Thanks,

I was watching this thread hoping you'd reply, cause I wanted to say I was sorry too and my 'rambling' criticism was posted while I was on my 2nd Maker's Mark Manhattan. Went a bit overboard and I'm sorry.

Good point, however no one is really a expert in love. Always something more to learn.

Of course the whole point of dating is to find out (via a series of unsuccessful relationships) what you "don't" want in a mate. That way you can filter through newer potential mates much more quickly and efficiently in the future.

I think most men never really grow up. We like to hang on to the "glory" days. This is why we know how to have fun.
