I need it in my life

During spring break, I had a conversation about the qualities I look for in women. While some had genuine feelings others gave the typical answers: looks, body, skin color and other tangible qualities. Almost everyone looked at me crazy when I said I wanted my lady to be a “nerd.”
When I say a “nerd” I don’t necessarily mean glasses and a calculator, I mean a simple intelligent woman with the ability to think outside the box and be herself. Now many might think that’s a hard quality to find but so many of the young ladies right here at Southern posses these characteristics.
At a birthday party, I asked a friend of mine what she was doing in school. She told me she landed a research internship at UCLA for the summertime, then she went on to tell me how she was designing a “robotic boat,” to find pipes underwater.
That was it for me I had to tell about my newfound crush on her. She seemed to be totally surprised, I told her that intellectual girls are very attractive to me and that’s when I realized that my generation does not encourage intelligence enough.
We often chose those that we date on what they can do for us or how attractive they are. We don’t take the time to have conversations and see what goals they have or if they keep up with politics.
I have found myself talking to girls more about the hot new trend in shoes than the terrorist explosions in Spain. We have to encourage that intellect and let them know that brains are as important as beauty.
So to those young ladies who are planning for law school while in undergrad I applaud you for your dedication to your future and love to watch you walk by in a business suit.
To the girl who is about graduate with a degree in mechanical engineering I love the fact that you can imagine a car of the future.
For the ladies in ROTC that are about to be commissioned officers in the Army, Navy, and Marines, that is very sexy I’m glad your doing what’s best for you. Hopefully I have inspired my smart girls to come out from behind their books, out of lab and libraries so I can find you and your friends so you can meet me and my friends.
