Shortly after a lot of people graduate from college, they get out into the real world and realize that a lot of people are very dumb. I mean, they were hanging out with other people that were of a similar intelligence as they are, (and since they are in college, smarter than the average person in this country,) and then when they get out they have to deal with average people, and average people, are well, average...

People express this in various ways, but a certain percentage of them become real jerks and complain about it loudly, but it is safe to say that the average 22 year old college graduate has just realized that the average person in this country is dumb compared to them and it is a surprise.

Putting this rant in that context, yes, he is a jerk, but it actually has nothing to do with Playboy or whether or not the women will sleep with him or anything like that, it is just a phase in his life.

All that said, I'm guessing that the beautiful women with matching IQs have found something better to do with their life than pose naked in some magazine. I could be wrong in that regard, but if you asked around of the intelligent women that you know, I bet that very few of them are not posing in playboy just because they don't have the body for it...

Heartless Doll! FTW! I WRITE FOR THEM.

That is all.

Counterpoint: This is what the feminist blogosphere is wasting their indignation on? Aren't there better targets of our collective ire than some old dude pathetically reliving his glory days?

Speaking of inane...

I'm trying to figure out if it would make a difference if the article was written by a woman.

I agree with Matt. You could take all those complaints, change the "why did I"s to "why do they"s and you'd have a sassy Bitch article.

"Had he managed to woo them with his liberal arts charm, would their lack of brains have been acceptable?"

Speaking as a pompous douchebag, yes.

@Matthew D - I've done a lot of college and a lot of shit jobs, and I've never noticed that people in college are "smarter." There were just as many idjits going to class as there were stacking boxes down in the warehouse. Only difference is that the folks in college have that "work extra hard today for a better tomorrow" mentality.

Oh, and your final paragraph, about how intelligent women probably don't choose to pose in Playboy? I think those models get paid a shit ton of money, so intelligence probably isn't the deciding factor.
