I’m with stupid
I have a thing for smart guys. The smarter they are, the sexier they become. It just seems to make things a lot more interesting when you are engaging in an intelligent discussion that one or both of you are passionate about. I believe that intelligence alone can make a person increase their hotness exponentially.
I can remember a time when being a smart woman didn’t matter much to guys. The shallow years had their fun moments but they certainly didn’t have many deep intellectual moments. If a guy asks me what my interests are I tell them that I am a science geek with a Biotechnology masters degree. I embrace my geekdom! It seems that as I got older the men I met and dated got less shallow, and so did I.
How important do you think it is to be intellectually matched with someone? There is only so much stupidity one can endure before the person becomes un-hot and annoying. How long could you last dating someone just on looks?

Sorry, I know this topic probably got beaten to death already, but re: the teacher w/ the 17-yr-old — A couple of things:
1) Is this teacher mentally off for wanting a relationship (and a BABY!) by a 17-yr-old? Of course she is. But then, that’s a disturbingly common occurrence among teachers. I used to be one & I’ve seen it up close: Some of these teachers develop unnatural connections with their students and go through this emotional time-warp back to adolescence themselves. One reason why I’m totally on board with abc’s “never date a teacher” mantra.
2) Now, having said that, I don’t really think of this 17-yr-old as much of a victim in this case, other than the fact that ol’ girl tried to sabotage his grades when he wouldn’t knock her up. I mean this guy was 17 and a football player. If he didn’t want to hit it, there would have been no hitting going on…
And I would bet a whole lot of $$ that he never considered himself a victim while tapping that azz…

Yeah right, Melo!! She is still your daughter and you have to love her unconditionally, no matter. Who else will?
Can you love one child unconditionally at the expense of loving the other children unconditionally? Is defending a child unconditionally the same as loving them unconditionally?
A 15 year old having a child brings shame and dishonor to the parents and the family in general. You could argue that if you love your family unconditionally, then you cannot allow the actions of one to bring that shame and dishonor on the others who do not deserve it.

Of all my husbands, the most educated one was the sexiest (he was South American) the smartest (Structural Engineer) sweetest and we had two of the most gorgeous sons…now 25 and 27..unfortunately he passed away from Lung Cancer and I still miss him to this day….22 years later. Yes, a Man is SEXIER if he is smarter…I know someone now who is Extremely intelligent and has two professions…Tall Drink of Water as they like to say in the South….he is gorgeous to look at as well….Very accomplished and will remain special to me forever.
sweet sweet sweet…Sigh……..
Some men I have met have been so good looking that they took your breath away….but not much at intellectual stimulation…so the time with them was short but sweet……My last husband was goodlooking IN THE BEGINNING but the word stupid and LOSER started showing up on his forehead and I had to write him off as a STUPID LOSER. Sometimes good looking does not equate with having a brain. You know, the lights are on but nobody’s home kinda thing. There was one guy, who said (and instead of saying THE STANDARD you’re gorgeous, beautiful, etc.) he said, “You are very warm and I like your personality”…now that’s the kind of man that stands out to me. Goodlooking as hell, gentleman, MAJOR sexy WHERE IT COUNTS…
But anyways, yes It is very important to have someone who is on your intellectual level because if they are not then they are pretty much a short window of opportunity…………..

Melo- I remember you mentioning something about a woman being mature enough to marry around the age 25ish. Now if you’ve completed mapped out her life (including the age in which she is to be married), can she still be considered mature.
Sure it may look that way and she may receive all the benefits of your choices, but she’d have made hardly any of the adult decisions.

@ Dreams….I don’t see that as “dishonoring” your family as you put it. I know plenty of parents who vowed to write thier kids off if they ever got pregnant at a young age to only come to grips with reality and still be loving and supportive parents to their children. Now, I could see writing off a family member (uncle, cousin, etc), but not your own child. Now, I can understand making your child be responsible and take care of their responsibilities, but kicking them out and turning your back on them, brings dishonor to yourself as a parent because you just turned your back completely on your own flesh and blood.

No, I mean one of my grandads actually carried that out. Of course, my aunt wasn’t in high school, but she had not completed college. That statement hit too close for home.

Yes Melo, she may be considered mature now because of the situation, but honestly, you can’t say that you would write her off as no longer being your daughter and turning your back on her. A parent is a parent always, even when their children are grown and mature. You never stop being a parent until the day you die.
She can “do her”, but she will still need her dad. She will always need her dad and her having a baby young should not stop you from being there for her (just not in the same as you taking care of her and providing for her.) Good Nite!!

It wasn’t good…not good at all. They grew closer later in life, but there was always tension at family gatherings.
