Ok. I have an issue I'm dealing with. I have been raised with this perception that a woman is only either smart or beautiful. I am not sure what part of our culture it comes from, but I feel like there is this portrayal of very beautiful women as dumb or, at best, frivolous; and of very intelligent women as homely in some way

I'll admit, I judge girls based on what they are wearing.

But, don't get me wrong, I enjoy wearing cute, rather questionable clothes... its just a matter of when and where.

If you're sitting in my classes with me, showing more skin then clothing, yes, I'm going to think you're an idiot, particularly when you're sitting there with a clueless look on your face, twirling your hair around your finger, and taking ditzily to the guy next to you.

Now, you're out at a restaurant, a club, or doing something social? Go for it.

Its just that there's a time for it, and a time not for it, at least in my mind.

well from an evolutionary point of view men tend to go for women who are beautiful and women tend to go for men who are intelligent. a generalisation and definitely not a statement universal to all people, but anyway i wouldnt suppose that your average guy would assume that an attractive woman is stupid so much as i would say that he really doesn't mind whether she is or not. and women will judge other women for anything :)

i guess any assumption you make about a stranger or any assumption a stranger makes about you is probably gonna be wrong but your friends know what a smart (alias)cookie you are anyway so wear what you dig, peace
