The Mind of Mubarak: May 2011

"EVERYONE can be beautiful and being beautiful is a plus, but the edge one has over the other comes from inside, it could be intelligence, and because intelligence lasts, smart is sexier. Its the new sexy"....yes it sounds soo Oprah but it's not, it's from Adel Tamano, a Filipino politician. Who guessed that?

So my question is, "Wouldn't you love that your man will answer or will at least include "because she is smart" rather than "because she has a hot body", if he is asked why he loves and wants to be with you?". I would, because at least my intelligence wouldn't fall off and become wrinkly and saggy like my 95 year old grandma, whom I love dearly. Knowledge is Lasting, plus physical attributes doesn't really count in a lasting relationship. I believe your 50-year old Dad doesn't still rush home because your 45-year old Mum's body is so 'fly' he can't wait to see her. He probably hasn't seen her shirtless for years, and that's not by accident, trust me. Point is, how 'hot' you look only goes as far, but its actually what you bring to the table in terms of intellect ; advice, ideas, opinions, personality, conversation, and as well financial assistance that defines you and keeps you going in any long-term relationship, like marriage.

It's a fact that, every woman eventually wants to end up with a responsible man; with a good job and well enough to take care and protect a home. Well, research says that "Smart men with demanding and professional jobs rather marry and settle with old fashioned women, like their mums and grandma's". Oh don't get it wrong, Old Fashioned here doesn't mean she can't work a TV remote. In this context, it means, calm, collective, respectful and educated, contrary to what lots of our young women want to become these days, unfortunately.

Don't misunderstand, intelligence goes further than just degrees (but it doesn't hurt to get one tho). Its in your essence and how you conduct yourself. Ladies don't have the liberty to conduct themselves anyhow as men do, especially publicly. How one conducts herself easily defines what kind of woman one is. Believe it or not, it's these conducts that makes a person even interested in wanting to start a any kind of relationship with you, be it friendship or otherwise.

Contrary to popular belief, smart girls are most fun. With them, it doesn't always have to be "when are we hitting the club?, what are you doing this weekend or lets go shopping ?". Have you ever sat with a girl who misunderstood all your jokes and another girl got them all ? If you have, you can relate to this. Smart, intelligent girls in my opinion are more fun to be around. One can actually hold a reasonable conversation with them in all aspects of life, and we all know one never forgets a fun conversation, especially with a girl. Having this same chat with my friend Professor Vessen, he said "It so refreshing to meet a woman with a brain". Well that says it all. Even professors can't get enough. 😎

To conclude, a tight body, slutty looking clothes, pinned and a colored face can only get you as far as 30 years if you are lucky. Funny thing, life actually starts from 30. Intelligence goes farther, no one can take that away from you and most of all, its a turn on. so GET A BOOK DAMMIT !!
