Don’t Dumb it Down to Snag a Guy
By: Jane Atkinson
Recently, it was reported that Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger’s advice was to “dumb it down†if you wanted to snag your man.
Really?
Is this what fabulous, intelligent women are reduced to these days…. games?
Ya, I’m gonna pass on the millionaire, Patti, especially if he’s looking for a vacuous bimbette to serve as arm candy.
And gentlemen, I would be surprised if you weren’t questioning this as well. If you’re going to spend the next 20, 30 or 40 years with someone, wouldn’t you like to have an intelligent conversation once in awhile?
FULL DISCLOSURE: On my path to finding my perfect partner, on many occasions I thought, “What am I doing wrong?†In sheer frustration, I’m pretty sure I might have tried something as ridiculous as dumbing it down.
