[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP-- you sound like an idiot.  I'm hot--but I have a graduate degree in Molecular Biology.  Looks May have for me noticed, but anyone worth keeping is looking for brains and humor too.  DH is hot and HATES dumb women.  He has very low tolerance for dumb.

Having a graduate degree doesn't make you virtuous. It doesn't even signal that you are particularly bright. It means that you had enough money and persistence to make it through a bit more school. In DC don't think you can flash a master's degree and inspire reverence. Most women that I know here have at least a master's degree.

[b]Just like beauty, intelligence is a gift of nature worth treasuring. [/b]Know this: [b]If[/b] you are substantially smarter than other women, it's because you hit the genetic jackpot and had the advantage of a nurturing educational environment.

Before you decide take another verbal dump on "dumb" people, maybe you should consider whether you can morally justify such behavior. You aren't going to get into Heaven any faster because you know how to grow organisms in a petri dish. But you might add some happiness to the world by treating all people, even those you believe to be "dumb," with respect.

Actually, I would argue that this is not true.  You can actually do a great deal to improve your intellect.  Just like you can work out and build strength in the body, you can do brain activities, read, study, et cetera, to improve and strengthen your mind.  Even learning disabilities can be worked on and greatly improved.

Just reading a lot improves your vocabulary and your knowledge base.  I would say there's a lot more you can do to improve your mind than improve beauty (and when I use the word beauty, I'm not talking about physical fitness).

I would also argue that a graduate degree takes more than money.  There are plenty of wealthy people who struggled to finish even undergraduate because they didn't do the work and kept failing classes.  There is some effort and diligence involved in seeing a degree program through to the end.
