Nerd or Hottie - Where to Invest Your Relationship Efforts

When it comes to finding the right man to spend the rest of your life with, women everywhere face the same question - brains or brawn? In other words - nerd or hottie? In a perfect world, when desiring a relationship with the opposite sex, we could find a man who is a lot of both - smart and easy on the eyes. While this rare specimen of man does exist in the wild, he is difficult to track and even more difficult to trap.

Most women reach a point in life where they are ready to enter into a serious relationship and settle down. Usually this has more than a little to do with the fact that their biological clock is ticking like a time-bomb. With any luck, the woman in question has sowed her wild oats and has seen more than a little of what is out there to choose from. Let us take a look at some of the sub-headings of the male species and weight the pros and cons.

HANDSOME AS HELL, BUT DUMB AS A ROCK. This particular breed of man is lovely to look at, and not necessarily a bad person. Perhaps he is even a nice guy and a hard worker. Unfortunately, at some point in most relationships there comes a time when it is nice to have an intelligent conversation.

HANDSOME AS HELL, AND KNOWS IT. This particular breed requires a lot of upkeep. His mirrors, hair products, and gym memberships will cost a bundle, and after a while you will run out of ways to compliment him.

HANDSOME AND LAZY. Lazy is never a good quality in a man, ladies. It is not a great quality in a woman either, but we're not critiquing women.

UGLY AND LAZY. Just threw that one out there to see if you were paying attention. Obviously, if you are trolling for men, this one should be clubbed over the head and thrown back. Can't look at him, can't expect him to bring home a decent paycheck, and you sure as heck don't want to reproduce with him.

UGLY, SMART, AND HARDWORKING. Hmm. The question here is whether or not his appearance is redeemable. Would a decent haircut and some wardrobe advice help? You would be surprised how many times there is hope. An added bonus is that if you manage to fix him up into a decent looking guy, he will not have an ego the size of the Titanic. Do not underestimate the relationship-potential in this one.
