Women prefer good looking men.

But what they really really live for is a “fixer upper”.

Women also prefer ‘Simpletons’

And incidentally, so does Society in general.

So if you’re both,

You’ve hit the jackpot.

You’ll be swotting them off like flies.

If you have brains & are good looking –

They’ll look, possibly try on,

But they certainly won’t buy.

Why is this so?

Shouldn’t natural selection prefer the good looking And bright?

You would think so but no.

The local environment now favours Simpletons.

Simpletons in the 21st Century get the best jobs,

Simpletons get thrown the cash.

Yes their are Smart Good Looking Rich Men,

But they are now a rarity.

In this new age of sorcery & suspicion,

A Man with brains is not to be trusted.

The mediocre man is now lauded, welcomed & reproduced with.

Women by liking pretty dopes,

ARE just going with natural selection!

Is a ‘Natural Selection’ Specifically calibrated,

For the bad is good, good is bad,

Upside down madhouse world of the 21st Century.

The madhouse has its own internal logic.

And by liking Rakish Simpletons,

The Ladies are just following that.

And so Woe to Western Civilisation!

Where a man with Brains is a Wizard,

To be burnt at the stake.

He is the modern day Witch.

And while I’d rather not agree with Schopenhauer’s Philosophy,

It is indeed true,

That for Modern Man

His only chance,

Is to hide his words & his books,

Behind a false veneer mask,

Of the new age Casanova –

The Simpletonian,

Who sits pretty, in Simpletonia.
