Ladies need apply within...Pt. II

All guys are suckers for a pretty face, but what lies behind that face is just as important. I refer of course to that skull-shaped Jell-o mold known to some as the brain. In order to fully love a woman, you must love her mind, or at least I do. I don't know, some guys may prefer a dumb-as-a-doorknob-dead-behind-the-eyes-bimbo; I'm sure that at least one lives near you.

Smart does not imply that I'll only fall for atom-splitting lady geniuses, but I need a gal to know her stuff, whatever that may be. Basically, you need to be able to hold your own in a casual discussion or quasi-intellectual point/counterpoint. I don't claim to know everything, but I'm pretty good at playing devil's advocate and probing around to see what a person knows. Not only is it fun as hell for me, but if a girl can look through my little ruse, then that is why I carry an engagement ring around in my pocket, just in case. I don't want it to seem that my intellectual standards are uber-high. All I really need is a woman to be able to provide some stimulating conversation, I only have so many ironically corny pickup lines to employ after all.

The brainy talk can also go too far. I've almost gotten into shouting matches with some chicks over ridiculous topics such as the ever-loathed Philosophy. There is a fine line between smart and pretentious. She can't lose sight of the real world. The Ivory Tower does not have a very well decorated boudoir. Smarts are a must, but all things in moderation as well. Besides the hallowed subjects of academia, I also watch trashy TV and corny movies, and I need a lady that can sink down into the gutter with me without seeing me as an intellectual hippocrite

And first and foremost, she has to appreciate my jokes. She doesn't have to actually get all of them because not only to I have a bit of a quirky sense of humor, I also have a tendency to make jokes with esoteric references that would confound Dennis Miller. You don't have to laugh, but if you at least understand where I'm coming from some of the time, you're a winner.

Prepare to conclude with the single most beautiful and important aspect of the ideal woman (besides her vagina)...
