Too Clever by Half

Via the evil dark lord Vox Day, we have an article about highly educated women lamenting the lack of suitable men. The article is titled: The Women Too Clever to Find a Boyfriend. We have the case of the lovely Natasha Hooper of London:

Yet while the 30-year-old office worker who sat down in front of her was handsome, polite and smartly-dressed, the minute Natasha brought up the Labour leader’s policies, any spark of attraction was extinguished. ‘When I mentioned Jeremy Corbyn he said: “Who’s that?” I couldn’t believe it,’ says Natasha.
After 90 minutes discussing what she describes as ‘benign’ subjects, such as reality TV and football, Natasha made her excuses and left, no closer to finding Mr Right.
With long dark hair, big brown eyes and a stunning Size 8 figure, Natasha — entering her final year at Goldsmiths, University of London — has no problem attracting male attention.
The issue, she explains, is the calibre of men she attracts. ‘I’m not claiming to be Albert Einstein, but I can’t seem to meet a man I find intellectually stimulating,’ she says. Nor is she the only well-educated young woman who says she is too clever to find love.

So we've taken the liberty of doing a little light Facebook stalking and easily found Ms. Hooper's profile.

[Sicko-Ed]

The pics on the Daily Mail's website really don't do her justice.

[You only needed a few minutes didn't you?-Ed]

Here she shows an understated English beauty, we love that, by the way. But on FB she's a total hottie.

[You downloaded, didn't you, perv?]

We decline to answer.

Actually she looks a lot like Daenerys Targaryen.

So Ms. Hooper is out on a date with a man well turned out, good looking and seemingly holding down a decent 'office'  job. Yet she bailed on the date, allegedly because he didn't know who Jeremy Corbyn is. We call bullshit. It's possible for an American bloke to never have heard of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Given the structure of the British political system and the fact that they just had an election, there is no chance this guy hadn't heard of Corbyn. None.

Most young women will find the blokes their age undesirable. That's just science. Which is why gals often choose men who have a few years on them. Ours did. It's a maturity thing.

[Yeah, she chose that beer chugging, pledge hazing frat boy because he was mature, that's what she did-Ed].

Also, Ms. Hooper claims a bloke cancelled a date on her four times because he was drunk. Miss Hooper, having FB stalked you I say this with authority, if a man is cancelling a date on you, then he's a idiot.

We suspect the lovely Ms. Hooper is being waaaay too picky. We mean, 'he's two inches two short', kind of picky. We mean, 'He likes pleated pants' kind of picky. We mean, 'I have 42 things I want in a man and he has to have all of them' kind of picky.

The rest of the gals in the article are ok looking. We'd go with the 41 year old redhead in a second. We feel for her, actually.

[What you really mean is you want to feel her, perv-Ed]

She's 41 and single. She has a better chance of getting struck by lightening than getting married. behold:

Her longest relationship, for two years, was in her mid-30s with a musician. It ended because she disapproved of his use of cannabis.
‘Since then I’ve used online dating and tried to date only those who specified a similar level of education on their profile,’ she says.
‘But we had nothing in common. Men think I’m too serious. I want to talk about psychology and literature — they’re obsessed with UFOs and Harry Potter. Perhaps I’m too fussy, but I’m bored within an hour.’

Andrea, you're too serious. Also, given the cannabis issue you're probably something of a scold. A nagger. And therein lies the problem. Men hate nagging. A hundred years ago, Andrea, you'd have been in the women's temperance movement demanding votes for women, chastity for men and sobriety for all. Forty years ago you'd be saying things like, 'That's not funny'.

Now we come to the case of Ms. Becca Potter, a working class girl gone to college:

‘The boys at my school mostly went into manual jobs after we left and seemed to think I had a high opinion of myself for going to university,’ says Becca. ‘They say I’m too bright for them.’
Becca recalls a factory worker she asked out in a bar while home for the holidays turning her down because she was ‘too clever’ for him.
‘We were having a great chat until he found out I was at university,’ says Becca. ‘I insisted I wasn’t too clever for him and he agreed to go on a shopping trip together for our first date.

An American may well be baffled by what is happening here but you are English, Ms Potter, and you should damn well understand that these North Country Blokes find your education off putting because of English notions of class. They see your education as a rejection of the working class. Your putting on airs, Ms. Potter.  We bet you're accent has gotten muddled. Also, to be frank, you're just another young woman with a useless education. They're all over the English speaking world. Ms. Potter, you're not that pretty, you're not that special. But you know what? If you found the right 'manual jobs' bloke, he'll work hard, take care of and worship you. More so than the public school toffs you crave.

This dating thing was sooo much easier before feminism, wasn't it?
