you sound like you are interested in many things Loess, so like you said: his loss! you have a great attitude, good for you.
fiiine Dave, I won’t cuss, sorry about that. I spend too much time with fishermen and sailors. I didn’t insult or direct the cussing at anyone though, and some people on this thread have been pretty mean talking about others. oh wait! they used big educated words so it’s alright. and about sexual words being obscene, I don’t quite get that. I will however comply with the PF rules and I apologize again. specially for the spelling cause I have to admit, I hadn't read the rules.
anyways, I asked my dork of a boyfriend the question of the thread, but our conversation got cut off so more will follow. so far here’s his input, for all you girls who, like me, have a thing for nerds:
HIM: intelligence
ME: please sir, do elaborate
HIM: well…I was once at a friend’s birthday and someone introduced me to a very cute girl. she was sweet, polite, had a masters’…
ME: hey! I don’t have a masters’. If that’s a requisite for you, how come I got a free pass?
HIM: shhh. be quiet woman! do you want me to tell you the story or not?
ME: zzzip
HIM: we spent all day talking, and I was crushing on her more and more, trying my hardest to work up the courage to ask her on a date. but then we got on the subject of the differences between grad school and undergrad and I mentioned my home state, and she said “oh! yeah, I’ve heard of it. where is it exactly?”. needless to say I lost all interest in her the next second, cause I can’t date a girl with a masters’ who can’t find every single state of the U.S. on a map. I would always be thinking she’s a moron. that’s what I mean by intelligent: being well-rounded according to the resources you have, someone who can hold a conversation on a large array of topics, etc.
ME: what else?
HIM: physical attractiveness
ME: duh!
HIM: I’ve always had a thing for dark curly hair. other than that, the usual; not too fat, not too skinny
ME: describe your ideal beautiful woman
HIM: a cross between Shakira and Ariel, from the little mermaid. with the personality of Lisa Simpson
ME: geez, every guy I grew up with still has a crush on Ariel too
HIM: that was one awesome seashell bra. she’s the princess Leia of our generation
ME: keep going, but be specific. think also of things your friends have said, since they’re all nerdy as well
HIM: I’ll tell you what I, and I imagine guys like me would say too, don’t like in girls: makeup, rudeness, loudness, obnoxiousness. I could not date a religious girl cause I’m an atheist and I would be thinking in the back of my head she might as well be a tarot card reader. I CAN NOT deal with high maintenance personalities, material or emotional. shy girls catch my attention.
ME: oye! so let me get this straight: I only have an undergrad in biology. I have black curly hair, but your ideal woman does not. I wear makeup if I go dancing, I’m loud, always high on coffee so I’m sure I’m obnoxious all day, I can’t shake off the catholic thing cause it’s been drilled into my head. and about shyness, do you remember how I proclaimed my love for you?(that’s on a post a while back)
HIM: do you remember how I reacted?
ME: yes. You stared blankly at me and continued talking about your paper
HIM: yeah, cause it was impertinent and awkward
ME: I still don’t get that concept, awkward. there’s no word for it in spanish. but anyway, what the hell do you like about me then? why are you with me?
HIM: I’m a physics PhD student! I’ve been doing experiments since I was a kid!
yes jaja, I fell off my chair dying laughing :!):!):!)
