whatever lola wants...
After dreading going back to school for reading period, I started wondering: is there such a thing as a "sexy major"? Are we attracted more to someone because of their field of study?I always wonder what people think after they find out that I'm majoring in English. Mostly, I get the "Gasp! But you're Asian! What do your parents say? Do they know?" But say I told them I was majoring in some type of science or engineering. Result: immediate grouping of poor little Asian girl pushed into non-humanities path by imposing parents. Alternate result: mistakenly think I'm as smart as the other engineering/pre-med/science girls.
No, please don't think I'm smart. That's so unattractive.
Now that I think about it, exactly how important is it for a girl to be smart now anyway? My mom's always telling me about her friends' opinions of their sons' girlfriends. They mumble a bit about the girl's personality, but it seems that the only priority they have is how attractive she is. Personality and intelligence come WAYY later. Usual response: "Eh, she's a nice girl. But have you seen her face???"
The way I see it, no matter how empowered women are, or how much we try to advance ourselves, it's not going to do as much good as advertised because our society hasn't quite evolved past its need for "geisha-types":
1. Intelligence, yes, but just to the point where the woman can hold a decent conversation. Decent conversation, of course, meaning that she can make her man feel good about himself while gently teasing at all times. A woman that's more intelligent than her man will make him feel threatened and less manly.
2. Willing to have sex. Anywhere. Anytime. Will be completely professional and suit his every need.
3. Be more talented than smart. Know how to create some form of art that can mystify him. "Art" preferably meaning culinary arts. You know the old saying: "Way to a man's heart..."
So hear hear all future trophy wives and husbands. You're not going with the flow or letting people take advantage of you. You've just found a loophole and plan on exploiting the crap out of it. So who's playing who? And who's the smarter one after all?
