Beware the man who tells you he likes brains over beauty

    I would believe he was a sapiosexual if all his partners weren't beautiful women under the age of 35. Why isn't he dating Mary Beard or Jocelyn Bell Burnell if he is so into intelligence?

    Wow. How does that work?

    I'm not creating an indo account to read that rubbish (or for any reason) but I gotta say she's got me on the first paragraph!

    Anyone, anyone at all who ever, in any unironic context, identifies themselves as a sapiosexual is a massive bellend. Anyone who insists on identifying themselves as a sapiosexual while having a romantic history like Ronson's is a massiver one. There's nothing wrong with saying "I like intelligent, attractive women" like, insisting "I am attracted purely to intellect; age, gender identity, appearance, none of these things matter, my sexuality is based purely around the attractiveness of intelligence. Here are my exes who are all young, female, and gorgeous by some bizarre coincidence. Because I'm really interesting and special and have this superior sexuality y'see".

    But yes the rest of the article does seem like the usual inflammatory nonsense that papers keep publishing because people keep reading it to work themselves up into a righteous little footstomp, generating revenue for the publisher by raising their own blood pressure.

    I'm going to go ahead and go back to having no fcuking clue who this woman is.
    I'm not a huge music fan, but in reading the papers and online articles you come across little bits of information, and anything I've ever read on the chap has led me to believe he's as well known for taking the piss out of people as he is for his music.

    He did a track for Amy Winehouse and his sister used to go out with Lindsay Lohan, that was the sum total of my knowledge about him before this article!

    I'm pretty sure reading those kinds of opinion pieces will give you brain damage.

    No, it's actually reading people's opinions here on boards of opinion pieces that'll do that.

    Can't young and beautiful women be intelligent too? :confused:

    She's not wrong about Christina Hendricks though.


    I was never really attracted to her tbh. I feel like she's a little bit unhealthy and isn't really 'curvy' per se.

    I dunno, something about her facial features scream danger to me :P Not sure why. Maybe it's the large white of her eyes?



    I'd be curious on the ladies opinion of her tbh.

    I've never committed any crimes or offenses against women, does that make me a male feminist now?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 680 ✭✭✭jim salter


    Who dafuq is she?


    EDIT: I looked it up...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,550 ✭✭✭facehugger99


    I like brains and great tits.

    I guess that makes me a monster in today's world.

    You fool. Of course you have. You are doubtless guilty of thousands of micro-aggressions. That you are unaware of it makes you even more guilty! That's how things work now.

    Sure, you'd bang her, but would you tell her where you live?



    Eh, I guess I'll agree to disagree.

    Aren't there three or four of these threads now?

    Well I was having a lovely day until I read this and now I'm very cross.

    There are millions of threads on boards.

    It’s a discussion website! :)

    But the OP just seems to want to annoy himself by reading anti men articles by idiots. I wouldn't go seeking out the repulsive woman hating lunacy online - why upset yourself?

    If such repulsive views were being published in the biggest paper in the country I'm sure you'd consider it worthy of comment. You'd certainly have reason to. It's a bit different than some despeised freaks spewing vitriol in some lonely corner of the internet.

    Should we start a "poop shaming" thread...what do you think!

    https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/17/style/women-poop-at-work.html

    Or should we just bunch up all these infantile opinion pieces into to one huge thread?
