re Pamela Anderson's wits

Flattering to deceive: the femmes fatales
London Times, December 21, 2004

Extract:

"Let us make things simpler and say that if you are a woman of fair-to-middling looks and age who wants to entrance a man (or men), this is how you do it.

The first step is that you sound — no, not sound, you are — very, very interested in everything he says (this is easy if he is the Home Secretary, but as your grandmother will have told you, everyone, no matter how boring they might at first appear, is interesting if you ask them the right questions). And the second step is that, although modestly — indeed conservatively — dressed, you contrive to look as though your clothes might all fall off with a strong gust of wind. It is a mistake to underestimate the power of wholesome, straightforward sex, especially where brilliant, oldish, hard-working and not very good-looking men are concerned.

So there you are. The instant seductress’s guide. No Botox, no plastic surgery, no Rules. And just the one condition: you have to be prepared to leave a bleeding trail of devastation behind you."

If this advice is to be believed, the best way for a lady to impress a man with her brain is to get him thinking below his belt.

A woman doesn't need to boost her intelligence if she knows how to boost a man's.
