I wasn't planning on logging on today, but this was just too much to keep to myself. And btw, this is really happened!

I just got back from a barbecue where I asked a nice looking blonde (picture Lisa Kudrow) this very question. Note: she graduated from a private Catholic school with above a 2.0 average.

She sorted felt embarrassed that she was having trouble thinking of the answer. After a minute, she caved in and said.....Egypt?

Wow.

You blew it. Should have tried something like this

Lyle: [as Handsome Rob] Nice to meet you, I'm Handsome (Ferocious) and you are?
Lyle: [as Girl] My name's Becky. Buts its uh, written on my shirt.
Lyle: [as Handsome Rob] Listen, I'm gonna need your shirt and your truck.
Lyle: [as Girl] Perect I'll give 'em both to ya, would you like my virginity as well?
Lyle: [as Handsome Rob] If it's on the menu.
Lyle: [as Girl] Haha you're so witty, why don't you take advantage of me?
Lyle: [as Handsome Rob] Yeh your not too bright, are you?
Lyle: [as Girl] No.
Lyle: [as Handsome Rob] Perfect.

My theory is that good looking women have no incentive whatsoever to develop intelligence (whatever potential for which they have due to genetics), due to the fact that they already get plenty of attention from guys.

How many women have you shared this brilliant insight with?

That is such a vague question, her answer would appear correct. Here's some more: Spain, Russia, France, England, and the list goes on and on. Go ahead, ask a stranger, "Independence from what country?" OP, she was not confused, you were. You can safely say she is not psychic, or else she would have read your mind to determine the specifics of your question.

Ummm... the context of the reason of today's holiday isn't enough?

What? It's 4th July right? Their 'independence day' in the USA, so the question is pretty clear...

/edit:

British Empire

You don't think it being Fourth of July would indicate the country in question?

Nah. Our perception of beauty is a makeup covered 36-24-36 queen. Most women aren't too fat to wear a girdle or too ugly to cover it with makeup, and they can all pad their bras. In short, beauty isn't innate. It's achievable for most women if they work at it. And it attracts the stupid ones, because they know they'll never achieve success in any form basaed on what's between their ears. I've seen plenty of women who society would deem gorgeous if they dressed the part, but instead they shun makeup, choose loose fitting clothes, choose glasses over contacts, etc. - and slip right under the radar, as planned.

He's probably just trying to cover that he doesn't know either.

The point is that the OP is barely smarter than a turnip himself.

Also, who goes around quizzing people at a party? If that's your idea of smalltalk you need to get out more.

What's this? We found someone who is stupider than the girl to whom the OP posed the question!

That's awfully self-important. While you're obviously trying to use less confrontational wording, what you've written amounts to:

"Society can't see true beauty so stupid women fake the cultural definition of beauty. I, CKent, however, am intelligent enough to see beyond this and appreciate that intelligent women shun this culturally-defined 'beauty'."

It also contains the hidden premise that a woman cannot be both intelligent and culturally "beautiful".

So did you just walk up to her and say, "Independence from what country?" or how did this play out exactly?
