Which kind?
Posted : 7 Dec, 2009 08:48 PM

So lately, I've found myself between two stereotypes. I am currently a hairdresser but am going back to school to get an A.S. (to further my resume, not necessarily to switch careers). I have heard that I can't be a hairdresser because I am smart, but also that if I really am smart that I shouldn't be a hairdresser. I have no career dilemmas because of this and know I am right where God wants me at this point in my life. This has, however, caused me to think that perhaps this paradox is why I am still single. Do guys want an intelligent woman, or are they intimidated by that? Do they want a career-successful woman or is that not fulfilling the role of a woman in the home? Do guys want a woman to be "Vogue" gorgeous or hang out in blue jeans? I can't figure it out, so I have yet to change my routine. Men with morals seem to have a huge problem even telling a woman very indescriptively that she looks nice....and I'm not even referring to romantic relationships. Meanwhile, men who want to "get with" a girl all too often bypass the intelligence (or lack of) and go straight for the outer shell. Which kind of woman (I know the cliche answer is to say "both," but work with me here...) are men looking for? And why do you guys seem to have a hard time admitting it to the girl? I think I've rambled on long enough (maybe THAT'S why I'm single.... :laugh:), so if you're still reading and can make sense of this, please give me some insight. It's something I think about often....

You need to do what you enjoy doing. If you feel that God has called you to be a hairdresser, then be the best hairdresser you can be.



As for intelligence, it's tricky. Air heads are only enjoyable for a brief amount of time. I couldn't date a girl I spend all my time suppressing the urge to mock though, so obviously a girl has to be intelligent to some degree. "Corporate women" are often single though because they just aren't enjoyable to be around. You wouldn't want to be around a guy who bluntly and rudely corrected you all the time or picked fights over minor details. The same goes for us men. Having common sense, being funny and witty, and just generally being enjoyable to be around are going to get you a lot further with guys.



As for style, guys prefer everything simple. Simple haircuts, simple makeup, simple clothes. All that overstyled stuff if for girls trying to impress other girls. That said, a girl who isn't feminine at all or isn't comfortable in a dress kinda weirds me out.

i liked his comments too.

Oh, and young men want to have the role of leader, provider and protector. The very intelligent, strong leader, educated and financially fit woman does not have as many men pursuing her as the othertypes.

my philosophy on the looks is, if there is not at least some physical attraction, then it wouldn't be fair for either person in the relationship.



having said that, physical attraction is only the initial stage.



a woman may be the hottest chick i've ever seen but if she's a short tempered witch. It's all a waste.



I would rather have a not as attractive girl with a good personality and good morals than have a knock out gorgeous babe with a "tude"



as far as intelligence goes. thats good so long it doesn't become a weapon. In other words, theres nothing wrong with being smart. If fact, that's great. But don't let it give you a big head. There's such a thing as being too smart for your own good.



i've seen and experienced issues where a girl was thinking too deeply, over analyzing and trying to read a guys mind. A dumber girl would have been able to figure it out.



as far as the clothes go. i would suggest, be flexible. Different guys are interested in different things. If you are interested in a guy, ask him, find out what he likes. Tell him you like him and just be upfront. Don't compromise your morals but try to look nice for him.
