Personality, intelligence and affection are much more important than physical looks (except maybe for 20 year old guys).
I have dated/married men who used my "intelligence" against me verbally (you are too smart for me, just because your IQ is X does not mean blah blah blah (not something I share with people unless we are in a "serious" relationship - that will bring out male insecurities -
A girlfriend I had a couple decades back was a 44D. Personally, I think that's a little much. I'm a fan of proportion.Can't imagine a guy on this board being "threatened" by female smarts.
Female smarts combined with a huge rack...maybe

That's not what broke us up, though! We were both strong-willed and clashed on too many things. She was pretty bright, but our opinions about too many aspects of life were too misaligned for it to work, and we gave it three shots. First she dumped me, the second time I dumped her, and the third time we reached a mutual agreement that no matter how much we cared about each other and wished it were otherwise, it wasn't going to work.
Not a case of assessing the qualities in a woman but I think you will see the point.. From what I have observed of the egg-head set, the constant need for showing that you're the smartest person in the room is not attractive. The truly smart ones combine book smarts with social smarts in equal parts.

Home run with bases loaded! You have the formula....Wife #2 (of 20 years now) has to struggle at school but she is one of the most kind, giving, selfless people I have ever met Combine that with a good dose of just common sense and I'll keep her for another 20 years.
Intelligence is hard to measure. Intelligent at what? Number crunching? Mechanically inclined? Socially adept? Understanding people?
In my youth my preference was for "one six pack" ladies.
A date may only need to look good in hooker-style clothes and not immediately puke when she has a few drinks.
Ha
So am I. You have the advantage of being able to see "up front". However in order for me to know if there is "proportion", the wrappings have to be uncovered. By then, it can be too late....A girlfriend I had a couple decades back was a 44D. Personally, I think that's a little much. I'm a fan of proportion.
Walt, it sounds like you're a very fortunate man.
If I were a betting woman (and I am), I'd bet your DW feels fortunate too.
If this were getting any sweeter I'd need an insulin shot, and I'm not even diabetic.For whatever reason she still thinks I'm "the best thing that has ever happened" to her.
Of the ex, one of the nicest things she ever said to me was "Her loss!"
How could a guy NOT want to shower her with flowers?
Ah, it's NEVER too late.So am I. You have the advantage of being able to see "up front". However in order for me to know if there is "proportion", the wrappings have to be uncovered. By then, it can be too late....
Really? Do tell......With women, a little "raunchiness" can overcome a lot of faults.

I have been giving this observation some thought. How does one let someone else "look smart? I could think of these ways:
1. By not correcting their little missteps and mistakes (Simple politeness).
2. By pretending not to know something that I, in fact, know quite well(Hypocrisy; sorry, can't make myself do it).
3. By asking them questions that I suspect they know the answer to and would love to answer (Diplomacy; takes practice).
Any reason why men wouldn't practice 1 and 3 on women's behalf?
Gave up long ago trying to play the game(s).
