Now I feel compelled to rant upon the subject... When intelligence is cross-referenced independent of financial status, however... Men: If the man in question is smart but "cool" his intelligence is not seen as a liability, but rather as an asset. Women: If she is smart, she'd better be quite skilled at behaving as if she's NOT. Otherwise, she'll never find someone. This is independent of "coolness." In fact, it would appear the men in my locale think the most threatening characteristics a woman can possess is to be smart and cool simultaneously... Hazel Eastern Kentucky BITES.
