Where would you stand... If all they could do was, sit!

Where would you stand... If all they could do was, sit!
If you had the chance to be with anyone in the world, the only catch was they could have only one-quality brains or beauty, which would you choose? If you or your loved-one were suddenly injured, could your love stand the test of time when it comes to disabled personals dating?
Where would you stand... If all they could do was, sit! It's hard to imagine that there are women out there that have to "dummy down" to find a man. I can't count how many times I've heard women say that they hold back a little bit of their intelligence to make their men feel smarter. How stupid is that? Wouldn't it be easier to find a starter guy?

Yeah, I know what you're saying that it's easy for me to say, ‘cause I got a man. Well, trust me when I tell you it wasn't because I settled for someone so insecure that I had to pretend to be not as smart to land him. In fact, he tells me that I'm one of the smartest women that he knows and he's constantly pushing himself to learn more to keep up. Now I'm smart enough to know that was just a line...but, it worked.

He also told me that I was the prettiest girlfriend that he ever had. I know this to be true because I've seen all the pictures. Anyway, what is your dating preference? Outside of the ethnicity, what qualities do you look for in a mate? How important is what they do for a living? Guys do you have a problem with your women making more money than you? Ladies, would you date a shorter guy? How about someone with a handicap?

We've talked before about the importance of physical appearance. It goes to more than vanity sake. The reality is that people in shape are healthier and healthier equals less health risks long term. Beauty may only be skin deep but medical payments can last a lifetime.

Some may think that it's vain to think about someone's health when considering entering a relationship with them. However, if you take into consideration the fact that 50% of marriages end in divorce and that the main causes is financial problems it goes to reason that this could be a potential problem. We won't even address the healthcare issue and how many Americans currently are not covered.

According to an article published on Today.msnbc.com in October, there was a study given at the European Cancer Conference in Barcelona, which said that with most types of cancer, the healthy spouse was likely to support their partner. However, the risk of divorce increases if one partner suffers from testicular or cervical cancer, verses any other types of cancer.

It's great and noble to love for the sake of love, but how smart is it? Do you think that it's pure vanity to not even consider someone with a disability? Have you ever dated someone with a disability or thought about it? What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in that situation, do you know how you would or if you could handle it?

Martina Navratilova said it best..."Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you're needed by someone".
