When did intelligence stop being sexy?

I'm tired now. I thought about this entry and in the process of opening and rebooting my Laptop, I suddenly became tired and then exhausted. This is happening more and more when I go to write, as if my body is somehow trying to prevent me from doing so.

Yeah, well fuck you Bitch. I'm staying up until I do this half-assed.

Do some homework for me. Go find twelve guys online dating profiles or just profiles of themselves on Facebook or Myspace, I don't care. It doesn't really matter.

Now look at what they put about themselves, is it anything that is relevant or useful?

It seems that writing less and giving the person you're trying to intrigue more 'mystery' is the thing to do. Not writing about who they are, what they believe in, or anything of remote relevance usually. It's not just guys, it's everyone. It's like a global fucking plague.

Since when did letting a little bit of yourself go out on the Internet become such a bad thing? I'm not an idiot, I understand privacy is paramount, but let's be honest: Pirates can't get anything out of how much you Love Brad Pitt in fight club for his sculpted abs. You don't have to give your SIN over the 'net, nobody is waiting on the day to come.

I'm sure it's because people are reluctant to read anything more than a few lines about yourself, but if you're introducing yourself to someone you want to make a good impression: you don't often introduce yourself without a few words that you choose carefully.

Why has it come to that? Why have people stopped caring what someone has to say and instead rely on a picture of the opposite to make the difference before conversation can start? Where did intrigue go? Where has falling for someone for what they say and do first gone? It's all so skin deep.

This is, of course, basing everything on meeting someone online and having a description and picture laid out for you to make your move on. I haven't been out and social enough to actually just try meeting someone, but where do you do that now? The bars are full of horny and wasted guys looking for a quick fuck, with enough girls to take care of their needs. Where do you find an honest, good looking and moral girl these days?

Another issue I really have is making yourself seem smart, but not too smart. Acting too bright makes you look kind of like a nob who has nothing better to do then sit in front of your computer screen, where if you act too stupid you might push someone special away. My inner self is a mix of ridiculous immaturity with underlying streaks of passion and interest in odd places. I never know which side of me to bring to the table, or which the person across from me will bring out. It's a rarity when both show up.

Why can't people just be up-fucking-front with you when you meet them and there's a spark?

I'm taking suggestions on how to pull off a sexy nerd or schoolgirl. Send pictures for the latter.
