Note: I was originally going to call this thread "The Erin Burnett Question", but I realize that still not everybody knows who she is.
Branching from my (failed) thread from yesterday, I'm kinda morphing what interests me in a partner. Obviously, looks are going to be a factor. But how does personality figure into that, and more importantly how well will the aforementioned traits mesh with who I am and how I work?
I've decided that I'm getting really tired of girls who aren't interesting to me and who don't hold my attention. I've now trended toward being more deeply attracted to girls who are smarter, or at least appear to be so. However, finding a girl who is attractive and yet still is at least mildly intelligent (and not one of those "smartly manipulative" gals, if you know what I mean) has been difficult if not impossible.
So my question is:
Do brains and beauty mix? Why or why not? Is it because pretty girls do not need to be smart to get ahead? Or maybe pretty girls are forced to play dumb to get guys?
