I think it was in an early Star Trek… the original series… the quote went something like this…’the more intelligent the mind… the more the need for the simplicity of play!
Video Games have always been a part of our life… long before our children came into being, we played ‘pong’ on the airlines and competed in ‘break out’ on Atari in the ’70’s.
Smart girls are G*d’s gift to men who need someone to talk to. This is very different from wanting someone who will just listen… very different. Conversation is best when it is interactive.
Have you ever met really dumb kids from smart dads? Did you ever wonder where this comes from? Then you meet the mother…. and it becomes clearer. Men who father children with dumb women shouldn’t be surprised with what turns out… studies have shown that a woman’s IQ is the greatest determining factor in the success of her children. Don’t get me wrong… we ‘Y’ chromozomes play a huge role… but … it is not all about us.
Intelligent women are not without their challenges, be they wives or daughters… but it makes life’s journey all the better.
One young man asked me what I thought was important in a woman… besides attraction, fidelity and a moral center… which is important, I had some light hearted suggestions. Well… we are talking about other areas of compatibility… sooo :
TEST
1) She must love football & sports is not just a spectator sport
2) She must have a working knowledge of computers…
if she understands where her ‘auto exec bat file’ is…
she’s perfect
3) Video Gaming is a lifestyle … does she know what a ‘lan party’ is?
4) She must understand that Star Trek is not one series.
If she knows that some Star Trek movies were made that’s a plus
and if she can name any of the ‘shuttle craft’…
then she is perfect
5) If you say, “Stargate’… she’s a winner if she
says, “never miss it!”
6) She can cook with more than a microwave…
after all, replicators haven’t been invented yet.
7) Rub your eyes with excitement if she wants to go
to a ‘steak place’ for dinner
TEST SCORE:
5-7 yesses… ‘Marry Her’
2-4 yesses… ‘we’re friends’
0-1 yesses… “I think we need to
take some time off from our
relationship so that we
can better explore our feelings ”
I asked Karla to do some research on this subject and this is what she found:
Video Games make you smart!
Video Games are Good For People
Women who play video games!
Karla says,” my two personal favorite series are Sonic the Hedgehog and Star Fox .Whenever we go shopping at an Electronics store, I always come to help get the newest video games I want, whenever they come out. I am an undefeated player in most video games today, and I kicks everyone’s butt in Mario Kart.”
(editor’s note: Karla is a tough cookie!)

I often find myself most comfortable with men my size… larger men… because we understand each other. We don’t fall into the ‘normal range’ of the BMI (body mass index) because our bones are bigger and denser and we are more thickly muscled…. and we ride Harley’s. That’s the way it is.
A wiser and much older man once gave me a piece of golden advice after reflecting on his happy and successful life… it didn’t mean much to me then… because I was only 10 years old, but I promised to file it away until such time as it may be of use.
The most important lesson of this study is a simple one: “Optimism in one spouse appeared to have beneficial effects for the partner.” So, there are many things one can do to lighten the mood in a home… here are just a few:
He was lost at sea during World War II, spending 47 days adrift and then two-and-a-half years as a prisoner of war in Japan. Following the war, he returned to Japan as a missionary. In 1998, he carried the Olympic torch (his third of five times) through his former POW camp outside Nagano. His experience was the subject of a CBS-TV feature and an upcoming book.
