Let's see: Odysseus passed on courting Helen of Troy, the most beautiful woman in antiquity, to marry her much smarter cousin, Penelope. That was 2,900 years ago, give or take.

I came here to say that I don't think his comment is bad either. A lot of women, myself included, say the same thing- "I want to be with a smart guy. I can fuck the hell out of a dumb guy, but probably won't marry him." I don't think there's anything wrong with that. He also didn't use the words or even imply anything…
But we would totally do that, too! Don't tell me NOBODY on Jezebel has ever had a bunch of fun sex with someone a little dim and then gone, "Eh. That was cool. See you around, I guess."
Yeah, sorry. Not getting the John Legend snark either. Cosmopolitan asked him the silly questions to begin with, it's not like he goes around proclaiming women to be dumb or smart.
John Legend is totally right, though. I mean, I wouldn't date an idiot. Surely YOU wouldn't want to, either. So that seems fair to me.
Can't tell if you sound more disconnected from black people or just country as hell, but in either case it's obvious you don't know many blacks with locs. That you'd assume the process of locking kinky hair is the same as the process for locking straight hair makes that fact even more obvious. Your black relatives…
Honestly, black men can be some of the worst "authorities" on black hair. They have all sorts of opinions on natural hair, perms, weaves, etc, but a lot of the time they don't know nothing bout nothing. My uncle once had this whole spiel about how black women shouldn't be fake with weaves and should be natural, but…
This is really common in schools run by mostly black administrations. They want to be seen as respectable, and in doing so, attempt to limit the outwardly "black" things the kids can do. It's almost always directed at something arbitrary and external like clothing or hairstyles, and almost never works.
For even more sparkly fuck's sake, I fail to see how anyone's HAIR can be a problem. Unless it is literally ON FIRE, there are very few ways hair can be disruptive.
I don't think he knows much of anything about women.
And even if it is something she does end up struggling with on a daily basis, that's okay. Having bipolar disorder doesn't mean you failed at something. It's just a way your brain works and something you may have to deal with.
You guys are missing the BEST PART! The majority of the commenters on her post brought up that they would love to use the article to talk to their teenage girls about modesty, but they can't because shirtless boys are shirtless.
Nothing new here. I spent the first 22 years of my life in a conservative Christian community and its education system, and this is SOP. The best I can figure is that these women cling to these beliefs because it gives them a sense of security. As in, they slut shame in order to draw clear distinctions between…
Pictured: Mrs. Hall in ten years. Her boys still love her very much and she still protects them from women.
Who wears a bra with pajamas?
So wait. This means that when The Hall Boys (tm) finally get around to doing the nasty with their wives, they'll only be able to see them in a sexual way? Like, The Hall Boys (tm) won't ever be able to think of their wives as anything other than a place to insert their dicks?
I can't tell if you're trolling or if I've misread.
I'm sorry I don't think I can click on that link. I have to parcel out my monthly allotment of free clicks on the NYTimes website and don't want to waste any and risk losing access to a vitally important trend piece or any of my beloved wedding announcements.
