Smart, Sexy, and Single
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I met Daniel while we were waiting to see a performance by Chrisette Michelle last month. We were talking about music, science, technology, and politics before the concert started. Daniel jokingly said he was surprised a pretty girl like me (flattery works, man) could be so smart. I’m sure he was being facetious, but I have wondered if guys really thought that truly smart and sexy women exist. Don’t guys meet smart, sexy, single women all the time in Atlanta?
I have heard guys say that beautiful women have never had to really be smart because they have guys chasing them all the time. Of course, it would frustrate me to no end to hear that, because I know that beautiful women get dismissed as unintelligent all the time with this kind of logic.
What do you guys think? Can a really smart woman be sexy or does her sex appeal cancel out her intelligence? Is it possible for a sexy woman to be taken seriously?
Guys when you meet a sexy woman (mega hottie), is it hard to see her as smart? Is it hard to see a extremely smart girl as sexy?
Ladies, do you ever feel that you walk a fine line in projecting the right image of smart, sexy, and single? How do you think you are perceived? If you could choose between having great looks or having extreme intelligence, which would you pick?
Single people have a bad habit of lumping each other into one or two types, why do you think we do this? Aren’t their hot guys who aren’t players? Aren’t their beautiful women who don’t have major hang ups?
