Honestly, I think the causality flows in the other direction. Start with a nerdy man, who is unlikely to attract a pretty girl. What can he do but be witty? If we could be successful by being handsome and charismatic we would, but that's not always an option.
If you think I'm wrong, think about all the best-looking men in the world, and then think about all the funniest men in the world. There's almost no overlap there. George Clooney doesn't need to be funny, so he isn't. On the other hand, Jerry Seinfeld's only way to be rich and famous and have a beautiful wife is to be funny. So he is. So if you like his show, thank your lucky stars he's not better-looking.
I am smiling at the wit of a funny man. Loved the quote

Why do all witty men have to be so nerdy?

Well said. I hate it when you are right.
ReplyDeleteI guess I will just count my lucky stars that I happened to find rare gem of a man who is witty and HOT!
Yep. That LG is a jewel indeed.
