Well, if I look at the subject matter of this tribe...and then the related tribe links on the side

99th percentile
Well-hung Minds
Sizzzling Hot & Brilliant Smart

one might assume that all the sexy Mensa members are too consumed with all their precious deep thoughts and can't manage to refine their social skills to ratchet up something resembling a conversation

in a manner similar to

All the Barbie & Biff Burners parading around Tribe consumed with their own brand of narcissism...affecting some appropriated brand of spirituality that consumes all of their precious attention...

Or maybe the quart of egg nog and chocolate is futzing with my perceptions...

'scuse me while I go write a penetrating, world altering philosophical novel in my pink thong and feather boa while picking chocolate and BRC dust from my navel

:P

I'll jump in the hot tub with you.

It is not a choice between hot and smart. Intelligence IS hot.

For those of us who tend toward long term friendships, we appreciate that smarts age better than some other aspects one might be attracted to.

So how do we put a fire under this tribe?

A few years ago, when I first started this tribe, I posted or responded to posts everyday. Then I dealt with a brief housing crisis during which I had no way to access the internet. When I returned, I discovered two things, both to my great consternation. That Tribe.net had been taken over by uber-nazi red-wingers who were banning all that had made Tribe worthwhile and, that no one was active in this tribe in my absence. I shared my personal outrage but received very little response. I soon became disenfranchised with Tribe in general, and have since been making sporatic visits just to check on the things I still care about, like the people of this tribe. I always respond when others post; I'm just not as quick to start threads anymore. I promise you this though: Help me bring back the fun and flirt-friendly frollicking, and I shall make my presence known more often.
In the meantime, read some of the earliest topics. A little grave-digging might be warrented in this case.

"I thought guys just dug really hot women"

We are programmed to be that way, yes, but I have learned that a woman with a good mind will keep her intelligence with her far longer than a beautiful woman will keep her good looks.

So do I want a short-term investment or a long-term investment?

Hmm... can I have both?
