I am excited to announce that, men are gradually becoming ‘smarter’ and the dating game is getting interesting—at least several of the men I know are giving little or no attention to the long expensive weave, humungous chest, fake nails and eyelashes of some of today’s women…

Since men are becoming smarter, the old trick of catching the attention of men with those long eye-lashes and push-up bras has become pretty ineffective, making several women worried as the attention keeps passing them.

For some reason, a new set of men have emerged and they’ve been able to pull several others to join this unidentified campaign to redefine what tickles and should tickle men. Without being contemptuous, these men are gradually gravitating away from the old set standards of beauty and attractiveness.

Instead of walking into a room and looking for that pretty face with the perfect nose and well shaped eyebrows, the new set of men rather like to have discussions about a wide range of unrelated subjects, paying attention to the woman who holds an outstanding level of intellect.

Who thought a time will come when men will begin to look beyond those long heels, tiny waist and round backside to give relevance to intellect?

In one of my Human Rights seminars last week, a young black woman who had no makeup and was not anyway over the top in appearance held the entire class hostage, taking us through an intelligent argument on ‘why Globalization is not good for the concept of Human Rights’. Seated at the far corner of the same class was another beautiful black girl, rocking her long weaves and thick eye lashes.

Just after the presentation, 6 of my male friends who were in the class couldn’t stop talking about how intelligent the young woman was and why she is a perfect girlfriend material—confirming my observation that the game has finally changed.

If it was a few years back, the long weave lady who sat at the corner with her on-point make-up would have become the subject of discussion right after class but as I mentioned above, men are beginning to see behind the tainted veil.

Most men no longer think with their pees, they’ve come to learn how to use their brains when it comes to picking up a woman.

This new era of men have realized the high ‘level of emptiness’ paraded by most of these long nails rocking beauties and in an attempt to make sure the catch is right, they’ve redefined sexiness in the most exceptional but realistic manner by making ‘intellect’ the deciding factor.

Like one of my friends said “forget the club girls, a new and lasting form of sexiness is found in the head of the geeks”.

If you are a woman in dating the pool and you want to pull in the attention, it is time to change your game because the players have changed at the other side of the pitch. You won’t be able to cause any eye to roll even if you decide to walk around naked. What tickles the new set of men is what you’ve got hidden in your head…
