He doesn’t appreciate me!

Pouting-woman appreciateI could make a living collecting a dollar every time I hear a woman complain about a man not appreciating her. Most often I hear various forms of these complaints in the many popular movies and TV shows that present female doormat characters throwing themselves at bad boys and wondering why they get badly treated. Almost as often, I hear these complaints in person from my female friends.

One such friend came to me recently with the “men don’t want intelligent women; they want bimbos” version of this complaint. But all the versions boil down to:

He doesn’t appreciate me!

In this case, it’s really very simple, ladies. Dumb men don’t have the brains to appreciate smart women. Regardless of how much a guy turns you on, if he’s a mimbo, he’s not gonna get you, and you’re just thinking with your genitals, which is something you accuse us of doing all the time! That’s right; I’m accusing you of thinking with your clits!

It’s not like hot women see me reading The New Yorker and go, ‘Oh, that’s so sexy. I can’t wait to get him in bed!’”

Also, it works both ways. I once told another female friend that I subscribe to The New Yorker. She said, “Oh, you try to seduce women with your intelligence?” I laughed very hard; and then I responded: “It’s not been my experience that women throw themselves at me because of my intelligence. It’s not like hot women see me reading The New Yorker and go, ‘Oh, that’s so sexy. I can’t wait to get him in bed!'” Nor has a hot woman ever said to me: “You spend several hours a week alone writing plays and composing classical music? Wow, I wanna have your babies!”

But do you hear me complaining that women only want bad boys!?

Yes, you do! LOL!
