"Don't act so smart on a date," he says. Thank heaven he is not my father, but a curmudgeonly octogenarian.
It seems I am stuck somewhere in the middle. Possessing, apparently, some intellect, I have been admonished from time to time not to display it. However, while there enough brainless females getting wed, the numbers are not disproportionately more than the:
Doctors, lawyers, teachers, graphic artists, therapists, psychologists, etc, who are firmly on the way to their established careers. To excel in their fields, they must have book smarts, and yet they, too, happily meet the One.

But I have not opted for a career. I have a job, yes, but not a career. It would seem that while my gray matter can be off-putting, my choice of employment can be as well.
For those gents who want me to rake it in to remove the burden of support, yet want me to have no brains: Think a minute.
I cant tell you how many times ive been told to not act so smart on dates..grr
