    When it comes to sexy times, we all appreciate having animal magnetism and getting to do someone else who has their own version as well (whether this comes by way of monster dong, perky yabbos, penetrating laser eyes or fluffy ears)

    That said, what gets creepy is when your long-term relationship that’s not just a fling is based on a singular thing, whether your ability to do math, bake the best brownies, (bake souffles that don’t fall), play guitar arpeggios like a virtuoso, wrestle bears, pole-vault six meters or negotiate armistice deals between belligerents in the Middle East.

    And if you can do all of those things (which I think Dr. McCoy, aka Beast) can do, then yes, people will simultaneously under-appreciate your breadth of character / skill and will also worship you like a god, never quite seeing the lonely person behind your eyes.

    As someone who almost only has intellect, be happy that you have something else for people. Intellect is good, but it’s never enough.
