i'd say it depends on the guy. i'd personally wouldn't want my wife to go for a business trip that lasts for more than 24 hours... i'm too horny to let that happen.

hehe...right on time: Gentlemen prefer ... brains? By Randy B. Hecht Arm candy. Trophy wife. It's plain from the way we talk that we have some pretty set ideas about what men consider most important in a woman. And none of those ideas is particularly flattering to the guys. What happens when men do the talking? We took a survey of single guys who date online, and they say it ain't so. The results weren't iffy, either: The guys said by a nearly two-to-one margin that if asked to choose between beauty and brains in the perfect long-term partner, they would choose brains. You read that right Yes! In the competition between beauty and brains, beauty got whalloped: 64% of guys chose the smart woman; the gorgeous one was preferred by only 36% of respondents. It turns out that most men are no different from most women, at least in this respect: They understand what it takes to keep a relationship going for years, for decades or, if you're really lucky, for a lifetime. Especially as we get older and approach dating with greater maturity (we can hope), we start to appreciate that while beauty can set off a spark, it can't in and of itself keep the flame burning forever. We've still got eyes, of course, and no one needs to make excuses for enjoying the view when a particularly attractive person is in the vicinity. But it takes more than that to hold our interest. We need someone with substance. Someone with whom we can talk and share jokes, dreams, and confidences. Someone with whom it's possible to constantly discover new facets of one another. That's what keeps the engine running. So if you've got it, flaunt it What does this mean for all the women out there who've never quite recovered from the adolescent-era stigma of being labeled "the smart one"? It means you can improve your chances of finding a great catch if you spend less time frowning at a mirror and more time with your face in a book. Because two out of three guys want you to be able hold your own in an intelligent conversation — and that's going to hold their interest more than the color of your hair, the length of your legs or the curve of whatever body part you're always obsessing curves too little or too much. As for you guys... Want to become far more popular in a snap? Hey, all you've got to do is ask. Let yourself be overheard now and then expressing your admiration for a woman's brains. We'll hear you, we'll notice you and we'll develop an instant interest... or at least enough curiosity to engage you in a bit of conversation. And once two smart, engaging people get a conversation going, there's no telling what might happen. You might even discover the love of your life, and what could be more beautiful than that?

Do you think so? Maybe you should read more about her: Born in south east Mexico, daughter of a father of Lebanese origin and a Mexican mother, Hayek began her career in Mexican TV soap operas in late 80s. After having some success with titles such as "Nuevo amanecer, Un" (1988) and "Teresa" (1989), Hayek left a relatively easy career in Mexican TV and traveled to Los Angeles, searching for the promised land: Hollywood. After some minor roles, Hayek began to be noticed as a good actress in Desperado (1995). She returned to Mexico to film Callejón de los milagros, El (1995) and was nominated for an Ariel (Mexican Academy Award). Hayek is considered to be the first Mexican actress to become a Hollywood movie star since Dolores Del Río. Was ranked 8th of the 100 Sexiest Women by FHM Taiwan (2001). Frequently collaborates with Antonio Banderas and Robert Rodriguez. Fluent in English, Arabic, Spanish and Portugese Was originally considered for the part of Alicia Larde in A beautiful mind because the character in real life is from El Salvador.

Salma has PLENTY to talk about with anyone... including her man....when she can get him to forget how gorgeous she is & talk. From what I've seen of her & heard her say in interviews she is a deep & intelligent person.

Wow Pom. Cool post. I agree. I get bored talking to women about that stuff for an extended period too... Lots of men (perhaps predominantly American men) are terrified of a woman that wants to talk about something more than your average conversation fodder. Lots of people in general just can't swim in the deep water. Cool to hear that there are men out there that find female brainwaves sexy. There's hope for the human race after all.....

Evgeny~ Most women like a combination of both, I think. At least I do... and perhaps it ties into Pom's points about intelligence.... To be both implies a dexterity of mind, breadth of imagination & understanding... capacity to see, identify & step outside heavily scripted gender roles. It shows that the man has created himself...is not a cookie cutter factory model made from a common mold. It shows he has thought things out with sensibility and come to his own conclusions. You see......Women like smarts too. I dislike brutes. I dislike macho. It's so passe & so unoriginal & boring...and unrefined. Subtle is sexy. A cocktail of masculine & feminine is sexy. It's more like a labyrinth. Anais "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." Anais Nin
