I can teach the dumb girl things. And she'll still be hot.

But what about having someone who actually stimulates you intellectually?

You know what? I've found any girl who does that just likes to argue. I'm 42. I've had my share of "hot girls" and my share of "intellectually stimulating" girls.

I like teaching and showing a girl new things she hasn't experienced before - travel, film, restaurants, etc.

If I want stimulating conversation, I'll talk to my friends, go online, turn on C-SPAN. What I want from my girlfriend is companionship, love and attention, laughter, and lots and lots of sex. I don't need to argue with her. I don't need to have "stimulating, intellectual conversation" with her.

It's not insecurity, it's not a lack of "depth." It's sheer exhaustion. Period. I'm tired of arguing about every little thing.

As long as she's not a blithering idiot, as long as she's open to experiencing new things and trying new experiences - and be graetful to me for showing them to her - I'm happy.

That's why I go with the "hot chick."

I do not think that smart necessarly implies agumentative. I am certain that you have experienced a lot (more than most on this forum) and I really appreciate your explanation.
