That was silly of me. It's just my mind boggles at anyone not being aware that Indo Europeans are shrinking into oblivion.

Hang on... I know its off topic but what is a Indo European ? Sounds like a cross breed to me ? Anyhow off topic as it is what European blood lines have done is recognized the problems and have their population in check... where as these other bloodlines are hell bent on world domination through overwhelming population numbers... regardless the cost and I wont get into who supports it.....

Perhaps because women like to feed people.....

Girls with brains (and great bodies)rule, wiz bangers drive me nuts quickly. I agree with most of what others have posted, but like anything else there can be negative use of brain or wit. Still I must confess Im very guilty of placing appearence, sex and attitude far superior to my stomach which is easy to please, cant say the same for the rest of me.

Now if we could just convince the rest of the world that "sex" does not mean "babies"... perhaps this is where the brains and wit could kick in....

Well in Muslim countries women aren't treated as equal.

My girlfriend has lots of wit. I think her overall personality and the ability to react quickly to anything put infront of her with apropriete style or down right nastiness (depending on the situation) is a great and attractive trait. She is not affriad to speak out for herself and will say what needs to be said. I find wit and abrasiveness attractive in a woman because some people (not just females) suppress thier strong side in order to give people the kind and vulnerable appearence so that they can get closer. Why not just be who you are. Besides , wit is a good basis for conversation, and the basic fundementals of any good relationship is good conversation.

I think this is pretty much still the norm in a lot of the world unfortunately. I once saw a sticker on the bus that had a picture of a woman in a burka and a woman in lingerie. It had a simple question at the bottom. "Which of these two women is the sexual prisoner".

Not all muslim contries treat women as bad as you may think. At least no worse than some other places.

There's a world of difference between wit and cynicism, sarcasm and just plain bitchiness; terms probably much more applicable to the feminine personality.

yes they are.

they believe God has set up a particular order we are to obey.

female subjugation to the husband in fundamentalist Christian marriages are the same--both and man and women are being treated equally as in accord with God's standard for how they should behave.

atheists have a different idea of equality--one which doesn't base itself on a sex-based hierarchy--and to some fictional culture it could be imagined 'we don't treat children as equals'...well, do we? we treat them as we would have ourselves treated were we ourselves children like them. we say 'this is the proper place of the child, not to vote, or drink, or...' etc., and we are happy to boast "inequality" in favor of adults.

they think their sexism is as valid as we think our ageism, in fact they probably have even more confidence in theirs, since it's not just a common conception of mankind, but 'god-given'.

to treat a woman like a man would be inequality, for them.

funnily enough, we punish worse spousal abuse from man to woman than woman to man; there are two classes of assault, 'assault' and 'assault on a woman'...it presumes a woman more vulnerable, and it makes this sexual inequality in the interest of social equality. disadvantaged by nature, it presumes, the law enacts an equal and opposite inequality in the interest of balance. Incremental income tax does the same thing---treats people as inequals, as apology for their inequality.

boo hoo hoo...

you'll die soon enough, so who gives a shit?

you may as well spend this weekend mourning the Earth's loss of the neanderthol.

d'you think in a hundred or two hundred years people will look back and go, 'damn man, those self-centred lazy ass millenials, they've let everything go to ruins. I wish we were whiter'? If not, and if you presume you don't have an immortal soul and a bigot God, then for exactly what reason is anyone (the aforementioned people to suffer this fate, and you--not living to see it) supposed to care?

There are some who would choose a funny woman over a non-witty one, if neither was otherwise any better in other respects. Thoughts?

Well clearly it depends on the man and woman in question. If you're looking for a blanket answer, you're not going to find one.
